BANGALORE: A greater dialogue with private schools will help the government successfully implement Right to Education in Karnataka. The idea evolved at a discussion on financial and governance challenges of RTE organized by the Centre for Budget and Policy Studies (CBPS) on Thursday.
Speaking at the event, Anita Kaul, principal secretary, planning and statistics, said: "Many private unaided schools are afraid that children from weaker sections might not be able to cope with the requirements of such schools. They are also worried about children from two diverse backgrounds not being able to mingle. The extra financial burden put on private unaided schools also bothers them."
"Learning has a lot to do with constitutional values, equality and tolerance. This can be done in a better way with different social segments coming together," said Kaul.
"Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE, one of the features of RTE) does not mean more tests, but it is more of an interactive process. It enables a teacher to understand the capabilities of a child in a better way," she explained.
Kaul also feels a child must be taught in his/her mother tongue in initial stages. "Teaching in mother tongue enables children to achieve conceptual clarity. At the initial stages, the medium of instruction must be the mother tongue with a provision for a child to transit to a language of his/her choice at a slightly later stage, may be at level 3 or 4," she said.
