District Elementary Education

  • Introduction of Elementary Education:

    During the Pre Independence era, the major part of education in Assam took place via the “Gurukula” system and Madrasha Education. It was only after the liberal policy of Lord Curzon in the early period part of 20th century that primary education received renewed attention.The Assam local self government Act of 1915 gives wider power to local bodies to manage all affairs of primary and middle education. In Assam, the first compulsory primary education Act was passed in 1926. Due to limited achievements, the Act was revised in 1930. This revision brought the elementary education into limelight, with imperial grants being released to Assam for the promotion of elementary education.

    The beginning of modern education and the promotion of language and literature in Assam can be attributed to the efforts of the Christian Missionaries. The American Baptist Missionaries under Rev Nathan Brown and Oliver Cutter had setup nearly 14 schools in Sibsagar.

    After independence Basic Education was accepted as the national pattern of education at the elementary level. The Government of Assam also accepted Basic Education as its future pattern of elementary education and passed the Assam Basic Education Act, 1954.

    The Assam Elementary Education Act, 1962 was passed to make provisions for the management and control of elementary education and to provide for free and compulsory education in Assam in gradual stages.

    The Elementary Education Department in Assam has been Functioning since July’1977 with the Head Office, i.e. The Directorate of Elementary Education, Assam at kahilipara, Guwahati. The services of all Deputy Inspectors of Schools, Block Elementary Education Office, Sub-Inspector of Schools all over the State have been placed under this Directorate. The District Elementary Education Office and Block Elementary Education Office in all over the state had been established during the year 1984. The District Elementary Education Office, Dhemaji has been established in the year 1993 at Nalanipam, Dhemaji.

    The constitutional provision in “Article 45” and the subsequent legislative provisions made way for expansion and improvement of elementary education, the Government of India formulated the “District Primary Education Programme” (DPEP) scheme in 1993. DPEP is an effort to decentralize educational planning at the district level and DPEP was launched in Assam from 1994-95 covering 13 numbers of districts. Efforts have been made to extend the opportunity of Elementary Education to a large number of children through Operation Black Board, Non-Formal Education, Mahila Samakhya, Nutrition programme, Total Literacy Campaign etc.

    Objectives:-

    1. To provide useful and elementary education for all children in the 6-14 age group.
