Right to Education household survey in Chittoor from Sunday
To achieve 100% school enrolment under the Right to Education (RTE) Act, the Chittoor district administration has proposed a special door-to-door survey and admission drive from June 29 to July 12. Speaking to the media here on Saturday (June 28), District Collector Sumit Kumar said the initiative would focus on identifying and enrolling all eligible children in the age group of 6-14, particularly the school dropouts and those who were never enrolled in schools. The Collector highlighted that the survey will spread awareness among parents about the importance of education and the government welfare schemes attached to it. Welfare and Education Assistants, Cluster Resource Mobile Teachers (CRMTs), Inclusive Education Resource Persons (IERPs), Anganwadi staff and part-time instructors would be roped for the initiative. Mr. Sumit Kumar said the initiative would lead to increased admissions in government and aided schools, and reduce the dropout rates. 'We seek greater community participation in supporting education. All the officials involved in the survey should ensure that every eligible child is brought into the fold of formal education,' he said.
