A brief overview of education in Ajmer

• Ajmer region is one of the 10 CBSE regions in the
  nation. This years class 12th Board examination
  results saw girls outperforming the boys of Ajmer
  region with a pass percentage of 88.6 and 81.1
  respectively. A total of 126605 students appeared
  for the examination. This year, the overall pass
  percentage in India saw a decline. But if we look
  at the quality of education in Ajmer, data
  suggests it has been improving

Let us analyze the data and understand the
education in Ajmer

• To start with, Id like to shine some light on a
  survey conducted by NCERT (National Council of
  Educational Research and Training) and
  SIRT (State Institute of Research and Training,
  Udaipur). The National and State learning
  achievement survey states that quality of
  education in Rajasthan has improved by 8-20 in
  the last 2 years. This kind of growth in just 2
  years is a commendable job. This could mean the
  days when we finally achieve the high-quality
  education are not so far. This survey also
  revealed that the understanding of education, and
  students ability to score more marks, have
  improved. This survey took into account, 40,596
  students of classes III, V, and VII across 33
  districts of Rajasthan.

Ajmer now has 30 smart classrooms in 30
government schools

• Each of those 30 Govt schools now have 1 smart
  classroom with 4G Broadband, Wi-Fi, Air
  conditioning, projectors, 30 seats, power back
  up, printers and scanners. This technology is
  connected with education portals such as NCERT,
  SIRT, and Khan Academy to maximize the quality of
  education with technological intervention. The
  government is working to make 1 smart classroom
  in every Govt school in future. Education in
  Ajmer is upping its game and ensuring bright
  future of our youth

Efforts to convert 41 Govt schools into smart
schools

• Rajasthan education minister Vasudev Devnani
  announced in September 2016, that the Govt will
  be converting 41 Govt schools into smart schools.
  These smart schools will be operated online
  (attendance, homework, reports, administration,
  etc). Not just facilities, but to really uplift
  the education in Ajmer, teachers also need
  consistent training and development. We are glad
  to hear this from the education minister himself.

Free English Medium Govt Smart School

• Again, you read that right. This year Ajmer got
  Swami Vivekanand Govt Model School, which is an
  English medium smart school with all modern
  facilities. The best part about this one is that
  it is affiliated with CBSE. The school has 24
  classrooms, 3 of which are smart classrooms. The
  school also has a language lab and all sports
  facilities.
• This school which is spread across a 12 bigha
  land in Srinagar Block was inaugurated by HRD
  minister Prakash Javedkar on September 7, 2017. A
  total of 186 Vivekanand Model Schools were
  planned to start in Rajasthan. This year alone
  100 schools have started

Quality of education in Ajmer is growing with
these developments

• This school already has 244 enrollments, a
  digital library, and 16 teachers. This alone
  proves that the Govt surely took a step in the
  right direction. Quality education, CBSE, English
  medium, and smart classrooms. Combine these and I
  dont think any child would still want to stay
  away from these. This will play a huge role in
  curbing the high drop out rate and encourage poor
  parents to send their child to study in a free,
  English medium smart school.
