Haryana - School Nurture Policy
Children are our future and our future depends upon the quality of education.
Haryana has 16,000 Government Primary and High schools catering to the educational needs of about 26 lakh children who are mostly from the low and middle strata of the society. We are committed to ensure free, compulsory and quality education for all children in the age group of 6-14 years.
It is proposed to introduce a ‘School Nurturing Programme’ to link the nurturers and the needy schools for development as centers of excellence, to recognize the efforts of the nurturers and to streamline the process of linking up.
Objective: School Nurturing Programme aspires to
1. Create a pool of partners committed to strengthening the education sector
2. Extend support to individuals, organisations and institutions like SDMCs, PRIs and NGOs to work more closely with the schools and
3. Lessen the urban and rural disparities.
As a nurturer you need to
1. Choose a school from the list
2. In case of desire to donate any item – you have to file an Application
3. In case of desire to adopt a school for all round development or for any specific capacity building and training intervention within a school you have to enter into an "Memorandum of Understanding" with the Department.
Following is the list of desired interventions:
There are ample scope for intervention based on the needs of schools, children, the kind of education required and the local issues. Quality Education is the deciding factor in all the aspects of this programme. However, as an entry point, we have listed various possible interventions under the following heads:
