Samagra Shiksha: Samagra Shiksha:
Under this Scheme, school education is
treated holistically from pre-nursery to Class 12. Samagra Shiksha has been prepared with the goal of improving school effectiveness measured in terms of equal opportunities for schooling and
equitable learning outcomes. It subsumes the three Schemes of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher
Education (TE). Two very critical components of this programme are Digital Education and Skill Development.
The focus of digital education is on technology based classrooms. It also implies enhanced use of digital technology in education through smart
classrooms, digital boards and DTH channels and strengthening of ICT infrastructure in schools from upper primary to higher secondary level. Technology would also be used to improve accessand for provision
of quality education. Another feature of this Scheme highly connected to youth empowerment is skill development. Inthe endeavour to reinforce emphasis on Kaushal Vikas', the skill development aspect focuses on strengthening of vocational education at the secondary level by integrating it in the curriculum.
Vocational education at this stage would also be made more practical and industry oriented. Industry oriented education is an approach to learning from an industry perspective where traditional subjects
such as maths, physics and science are taught in the context of application of that knowledge to product design, development and operation. The idea is to
enable Students to graduate from high school with industrial oriented learning experience prior to their first job.
