of specified learning outcomes shall be the emphasis of classroom interactions, and textbooks will be relegated to become just one of the many resources available to teachers and students for achieving these learning standards. Since learning outcomes can be attained through a variety of pedagogies and assessment formats, the NCFSE presents an inclusive and holistic approach to the access of school education by stressing upon them. 5.2 At the implementation level 5.2.1 Schemes for school education: The implementation of the RTE Act and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) have been crucial in ensuring that all children in elementary school (Classes I through VIII) have access to education. In the neighbourhood, there are now significantly more primary and upper primary schools, most of which were sanctioned under SSA. In 2021–2022,25 according to the norms of the neighbourhood, the Gross Access Ratio (GAR) of the educational facility at the primary level is 97.49 per cent of habitations and 97.01 per cent at the upper primary level. The Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), which was established with the aim to expand secondary school access and enhance its quality, has achieved a GAR of 95.48 per cent within a 5 km radius. All the above schemes are now subsumed under Samagra Shiksha,26 an integrated scheme for school education covering all levels from pre-school to senior secondary. The Centrally Sponsored Samagra Shiksha Scheme offers assistance to states and UTs in many areas, including the improvement of current facilities, the opening of new schools based on GIS mapping, funding for additional teachers, special training for out-of-school children and interventions for children with disabilities. 5.2.2 Initiatives of the Government of India to bridge the digital divide A comprehensive initiative, PM e-Vidya27 was launched by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, as a part of the Atma Nirbhar Bharat Programme.
