Former Foreign Secretary, Muchkund Dubey, will head a three-member Commission that will suggest ways to end discrimination at school-level education and provide equitable quality education to students from all strata of society in Bihar.
The State Cabinet has given its approval to the proposal for constitution of the Common School System Commission, the first in the country, to be headed by Dubey, Bihar's Human Resource Secretary, Madan Mohan Jha, who along with eminent educationist, Prof. Anil Sadagopal, are other two members of the panel, said on Tuesday.
The Commission would submit its report to the government within nine months, Jha said.
The recommendations of the Education Commission of 1966, which included the concept of 'neighbourhood schools' for equitable quality education to all school children, would form the basis of the task assigned to the new Commission.
The Commission will formulate a detailed action plan and examine the financial implications of introducing the common school system. It would also go into ways to ensure 100 per cent compliance of the children's right to free and compulsory education from the age of six to 14 years under Article 21-A of the Constitution, he said.
