Recommend mapping all unknown institutions to identify children outside of school, NCPCR says there are a large number of children who go to school and institutions that are not recognized.
The number of institutions is unknown.
Therefore, whether these institutions provide quality education also still unknown.
Children who attend all these institutions (unknown schools and / or not mapped) must be treated as beyond school, even if they provide regular education.
Therefore, it is very important that any survey that is done to map the number of children outside the school must also include mapping all unrecognized institutions that can include unknown schools, madrasas, Pathshala Vedas, Gumpas and other forms of education Non-formal center, he said.
The report also recommends the need to link the need for the number of minority institutions in a country for a particular minority for the process of granting minority institutions for better use of resources.
The next NCPCR said that there was a need to put specific guidelines regarding the minimum percentage of students from the minority community to be treated at the institution.
Noting that it is important that NCERT along with Scerts must play a proactive role in expanding the right to education to all children, said NCPCR so far, minority cells have not taken constructive steps for children’s education in the community.
“It’s time for the Board to hold a consultative meeting with all stakeholders and create a path to reach these children and reach closer to the minority.
“Also, vision, mission and function of minority cells in NCERT created in 2006 need to be revised and cells must play a greater role in taking fundamental rights for basic education for all children, especially children from the minority community,” he said.
