Unit 18: Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

• SSA requires two types of plans-annual and perspective. An annual plan proposes the Notes
interventions for a year and the perspective those over a longer period. A perspective
plan shows the perspective of the state. It provides the long term strategies of the state
with a vision to accomplish the goals of the programme. The perspective plan provides
estimates of the fund requirement alongwith phased out interventions over the period for
achieving the goals.
• Once the consulting process has taken place at various levels highlighting the problems
and issues, the next step is to identify the problems and needs in the light of educational
and general information and studies that have been conducted earlier. The assessment of
the educational situation will lead to the identification of problems, needs and constraints
of elementary education in the district.
• In order to meet the SSA goal of UEE, it is important to achieve the basic objectives of
universal access, universal enrolment, universal retention and universal achievement within
the stipulated time period.
