With the changing times and quality human resource becoming all the more important, It is only pertinent to reflect on the overall health of our education system. The RTE act has just come as a savior to the childhood. But the structure of our education system is such that it is inconsistent at various levels of itself and the whole system at any level misses the accountability. The human beings are themselves the most important aspect of the world and what makes homo-sapiens human is education. In context of our country education has always been important and we have always worshiped it. And in the 21st century when “knowledge is wealth”, education assumes compounding and profound importance both in terms of human resource and human quality. Therefore, to provide a robust structure to our education system and link all the scattered pieces of jigsaw, I propose the creation of the much needed following institution.
CORE SCHOOL: Under the human resources ministry /education ministry of the state, this institution will be established. The Core school would be the administrative body of the three wings that will in turn supervise and monitor the quality of the education being offered, the number of students, the drop-outs, the performance, the track-record, record of data and support being extended. Thus it will become the guardian of entire education system. It will assess both the student and teacher alike thereby providing accountability at each level of education. Core school will also strive to fill gap and differences between different boards and their syllabus bringing uniformity and standard. Actually, we can understand the whole concept of this new system of "delivery of education" once we know the functions and utilities of the three wings.
SINGLE ENROLMENT SYSTEM (SES) - As the name suggests this wing of Core school would be the single body responsible for enrolment of all children of the state to our education system. This body would issue a Permanent Roll No or Identity of Education number (IOEN) or Permanent Right to education number (PRTEN) invariably to all students attending the age of 5 Years as acknowledgement of their journey to formal education. For this purpose SES would create a mechanism to reach to all. However the main centre of SES would be located at the State Capital where all record will be stored and sub-centers at district level. This body will ensure that every boy and girl born well within the boundary of the state gets a unique permanent number or IOEN (identity of education number). This number should be in itself a fundamental right and mere allotment of an IOEN is a promise to the son/daughter of the soil that he/she will be given full opportunity to get education and the nation will be with him/her in their endeavor to achieve excellence.
The SES may give the students a 12 digit IOEN as described.

SINGLE MONITORING SYSTEM (SMS)- This body of the Core School would be the most important aspect of the entire concept. Once a child has been identified as a student, it would be the duty of the SMS to keep track of his/her average performance over the year. This body would monitor and categories performances individually, school-wise, block-wise and district-wise etc.
After enrollment, a student will be free to study in any school of his/her choice- govt./public, private etc But irrespective of the kind of school it will be responsibility of school to forward a report card or development report to “SMS” on annual basis. The parents will be required to send their own observation about their ward to corroborate the school report.
This wing of the core school will compile the report card and record and analyze the performance of students .It will mark the performance of those showing huge deviations or lack of activity in an identified area. The SMS will have multiple units each specialized in judging students of different age groups in different fields and locating their needs and requirements.
SINGLE SUPPORT SYSTEM (SSS):- Once the area of concern is located, the single support system will take care of it. It will provide all possible help. Also, all the facilities to the school, colleges and universities should be routed through this system only. It will allow efficient use of funds, fool-proof management of resources and measurement of expenditure and resultant enhancement in quality.
What will we get?
1. The Concept of “Core School” in a state will provide the much needed structure to our education system. Actually it will provide RTE act its body.
2. India with its states will have the best managed education system in the world drawing talents from all over the world particularly the regional talents.
3.It will improve the literacy rate to 100 percent and give birth to a revolution- intelligence revolution.
4.The quality of human resource will improve drastically because of improved standard schooling and higher studies.
5.Students can be properly counseled thereby eliminating/reducing stress and suicides.
6 Child labor will get eliminated as each child will be enrolled and his/her status will be continuously tracked.
7. Accountability in education system will be introduced. A teacher/ school can be held responsible for the dwindling performance up to certain and so will be the parents.
8 Exploitation and commercialization of education for pure profit motive can be checked efficiently.
9.Talents can easily be located and employed as there will be complete record and track record of each student –thereby doing away with so many entrance examinations. Free time is equally important to breathe free air in free space.
10. With this structure coming in place, the budget and expenditure for education sector can be set with the highest degree of accuracy.
Once all the states come up this establishment, we can create National Core School (NCS) with its three wings:-
1. NATIONAL ENROLMENT SYSTEM
2. NATIONAL MONITORING SYSTEM
3. NATIONAL SUPPORT SYSTEM
The NCS with its three wings will help its counterparts at state level and provide them guidance and expertise bringing the all India education system at one level –NATIONAL LEVEL
