The School Management Committee (SMC) comprises of CO members and the parents of students enrolled in community schools. Each SMC is a 5-7 member committee and its members are trained to manage and monitor the schools effectively. Ideally almost half of the SMC or VEC (Village Education Committee) members should be women. The gender equality helps in ensuring quality of education and learning as well as encouraging greater students’ enrollment rates besides creating a greater accountability among the schools administration and teachers. |
