RTE : Plan of Action

The green signal given to the Right of Children to Compulsory Education(RTE) act 2009 certainly stamps a historic moment to cheer about. But, I have some concerns w.r.t to its assumption and implementation thereafter..

1.How do we benchmark "Quality Education"? If at all a generic criteria is to be worked out, how does our not-so-promising govt ensure to meet the quality part of it in long-run. Also, this criteria has to be dynamic enough to synch up with the changing scenario, do we have a detailed plan to monitor this..?

2.How do we asses the eligible candidate who are actually supposed to be benifited..?
I am really quite apprehensive about it, given the past has witnessed major bad practices in the implementation of similar programs.

3.If at all we successfully meet this goal, how do we ensure that these children have sufficient resource to further their higher education so as to earn a livelihood. Just ensuring the primary education is not enough until and unless we make them capable enough to earn their livelihood on their own.If not, they will be bound to drop out in the lack of resources. So, my point is that, any such act should ensure an end-to-end solution. Just getting the act passed in the wake of vote bank politics would be pretty immature and would lead to wastage of tax payers money. I, being a citizen of India and also a taxpayer, want to see a detailed draft for its implementaion, monitoring, funds needed and it's administration..
