Regular review of implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan are conducted at State, regional and national levels. During 2004-05, two national level and three regional level reviews were held. The Governing Council of the National Mission of Sarva Shikhsa Abhiyan headed by the Prime Minister and the Executive Committee headed by the Union Minister HRD have also reviewed the functioning of SSA during February-March 2005.
Two independent Joint Review Missions consisting of experts in the area of education have reviewed the functioning of SSA during January-February 2005 and July 2005. Both the Review Missions appreciated the significant progress achieved by SSA in expanding physical access by providing new schools and alternative education centres, reduction of out of school children, reduction in gender and social gaps in enrolment and retention of children, promoting a strong school-community interface and a decentralized approach to planning of interventions and institutionalization of quality improvement inputs.
Under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan 7,70,316 teachers have been sanctioned upto 2005-06. 3,54,859 teachers have been appointed by the States/Union Territories so far.
This information was given by the Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Shri M.A.A. Fatmi in the Lok Sabha today.
