To enhance the learning experience for students in government-run-and-aided schools across India, NITI Aayog has recommended merging schools that have fewer students and optimising the allocation of teachers to fill up large-scale vacancies.
About SATH-E Project
- The recommendations were made under project SATH-E (Sustainable Action for Transforming Human Capital — Education).
- It is an initiative started by the NITI Aayog in 2017 to help states improve the quality of education at local schools.
- While 16 states had responded to the NITI Aayog’s project proposal, and officials from 14 states went on to make presentations on the condition of the education sector in their respective states, Jharkhand, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh were eventually selected for the implementation of the project.
