Introduction
Secondary Education is a crucial stage in the
educational hierarchy as it prepares the
students for higher education and also for the world of work. Classes IX and
X constitute the secondary stage, whereas classes XI and XII are designated as the higher secondary stage. The normal age group of the
children in secondary classes is 14-16 whereas it is 16-18 for higher
secondary classes. The rigor of the secondary and higher secondary stage,
enables Indian students to compete successfully for education and for jobs
globally. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to strengthen this stage by
providing greater access and also by improving quality in a significant
way.
Vision of RMSA

education available, accessible and affordable to all young persons in the age group of

and
Ø Universal retention by 2020,
