15. Costing

16. Costing Estimates of Out of School population based on:
Population Projections of National Institute of Population Studies (NIPS)
NER trend from PSLMs
Ratios: Classroom 1:50; Teachers 1:50, 3:50 and 4:50 for primary, middle and secondary
Use of official Unit costs
Estimates for public sector and PPP approach
Costing of the 5 year plan is an estimate
Financing component will be reviewed on an ongoing basis
It is a cyclical process- a few additional costs will emerge from implementation itself

17. Costing Strategies Utilise excess capacity available in public sector
Balanced division between PPP and Public sector
Separate approach for costing of quality and governance strategies
Infrastructure expansion only for quality related issues:
Increase number of 5 room primary schools
Introduction and expansion of pre-primary ECE

18. Non Scale Costs Quality Relevance Access Governance
Improved Managerial Efficiency
Monitoring and Evaluation
