ABOUT US

Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is Government of India's flagship programme for achievement of Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE) in a time bound manner, as mandated by 86th amendment to the Constitution of India making free and compulsory Education to the Children of 6-14 years age group, a Fundamental Right.SSA is being implemented in partnership with State Governments to cover the entire country and address the needs of 192 million children in 1.1 million habitations.The programme seeks to open new schools in those habitations which do not have schooling facilities and strengthen existing school infrastructure through provision of additional class rooms, toilets, drinking water, maintenance grant and school improvement grants.Existing schools with inadequate teacher strength are provided with additional teachers, while the capacity of existing teachers is being strengthened by extensive training, grants for developing teaching-learning materials and strengthening of the academic support structure at a cluster, block and district level.

SSA seeks to provide quality elementary education including life skills. SSA has a special focus on girl's education and children with special needs. SSA also seeks to provide computer education to bridge the digital divide.

BRC KOOVAPPADY

Koovappady Block Resource Centre (BRC) is an institution under SSA Ernakulam. We takes effort to provide academic structures that support and improve the quality of education in schools. We provide an alternative to the inspection system by shifting emphasis from inspection to resource support, in-service training of teachers, mentoring, onsite support and training follow up. Block Resource Centre and Cluster Resource Centres actively promote and support a process of school quality improvement.School improvement is considered an integral part of the work of the BRC and CRCs. CRCCs frequently visit schools to conduct observations, follow up on trainings, check records, have discussions with teachers to clear ‘hard spots’ and provide model lessons.
