Open School Board to make education accessible to all
Rahul, an impoverished worker at the roadside tea stall in Ahmedabad and a school dropout, was elated when he came to know that the Gujarat government plans to start the Gujarat Open School Board (GOSB). Under this visionary project, the GOSB aims at providing an opportunity to many children, who dropped out of schools or left education for jobs, to complete their studies.
Students, who failed or left schools at the primary or secondary level, will benefit the most from this scheme. Besides, students will also be allowed to sit for the board exams. There are some three lakh dropouts in the state. Most of the students give up their studies before the primary school. Some among them are not even able to reach the high school.
Official sources said the newly-formed GOSB to be functional from 2011-12 would provide dropouts the chance to take admissions in 10 and 12th standard. From next year onwards these students can avail of the facility through distance learning. External students will get the option to enroll themselves for weekend classes that will be started in schools all over the state soon. In these weekend classes, teachers are expected to guide them and work with students to solve their problems. The good thing is that students will not have to pay for the service. It is understood that honorary teachers will get remuneration for their services from the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB), which itself will appoint teachers to help external students keep their motivational levels high.
Once the enrollment in 10th and 12th standards in 2011'12 begins, the GOSB will gradually take in students for standard 9th to 11th for open schooling. Enrolled students will be affiliated with the GSHSEB.
GSHSEB vice chairman H.K. Patel said: 'The GOSB rules are still being framed. We are making provisions to make books and other reading material available to the external students. We will allow them to use school libraries also. The aim is to encourage more and more students who have left their education to join in. We plan to educate as many students as possible.'
Also, there is a move to ensure that external students are eligible to apply for certain professional courses.
