12. Need for RMSA
The Government of India has launched, in 2007, a centrally sponsored scheme, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), for universalisation of access to and improvement of quality at the secondary and higher secondary stage,
Since education is a state subject as per the constitution in the Indian federal system, state governments are policy and decision makers on this subject,
RMSA is therefore a crucial step to prepare the State Govts. /UTs to take up the goal of Universalisation of Secondary Education.(USE)

13. Need for RMSA contd…
Unlike U.E.E which is a constitutional mandate, U.S.E is not mandated by Constitution but only by morale and by need.
This means that well-thought out and practically possible goals and strategies for implementation must emerge from the states and union territories.

14. Vision, Goals & Objectives – National
At the national level, the vision for secondary
education is to make good quality education
available, accessible and affordable to all young
persons in the age group of 14-18years.

15. Vision, Goals & Objectives – National
The national policy document of RMSA has drawn up the following
specific goals and objectives:
To ensure that all secondary schools have physical facilities, staff and supplies at least according to the prescribed standards through financial support in case of Government/ Local Body and Government aided schools, and appropriate regulatory mechanism in the case of other schools
To improve access to secondary schooling to all young persons according to norms – through proximate location (say, Secondary Schools within 5 kms, and Higher Secondary Schools within 7-10 kms), efficient and safe transport arrangements/residential facilities, depending on local circumstances including open schooling. However, in hilly and difficult areas, these norms can be relaxed. Preferably residential schools may be set up in such areas
