Community Participation The role of community in school development activities has significantly widened through RTE Act. The Act emphasizes that planning shall commence at school level and the School Management Committee (SMC) shall play an active role for preparation of such plan. As per section 22, the School Development Plan (SDP) to be prepared by SMC will be the basis for the plans and grants to be made by the appropriate Government. Unless the SMCs are empowered and have been made professionally equipped for preparation and implementation of a worthy School Development Plan, the development of schools as per RTE will remain as distant dream. |
