The NIOS through its matrix of flexible open learning mechanisms is continuously creating an ambience for fostering knowledge in our learners. Its thread stretches forward from school education certification, upright occupation, workplace education to vocation evolution. At present there are 2996 Accredited Institutions (AIs), 83 Specially Accredited Institutions for the Education of Disadvantaged (SAIEDs), 1550 Accredited Vocational Institutions (AVIs), and 732 Accredited Agencies (AAs), of which 139 are working for minorities. During the reporting year, cumulative strength of students enrolled themselves in different academic streams. The year added shimmer to the vision of the NIOS by its innovative attempts towards inclusive, inter disciplinary and research oriented activities involving lateral expansion and pragmatism. The employees of the NIOS have fully imbibed the demanding active work culture of making constant improvements, and placing the prosperity of NIOS as the means of their advancement. I believe there are very few institutions in India where this kind of employee involvement, commitment and performance could be found. We have planned to develop Open Educational Resources (OERs) specifically for Vocational Programmes to be offered at Secondary and Sr. Secondary levels in partnership with different organisations. In the first phase, the OERs are being created in the areas of ICT Applications, Rural Technology and Tourism and Hospitality Management. This is a new initiative that NIOS has started in order to materialise its vision and extend its reach towards disadvantaged groups. The Diploma in Elementary Education Programme (D.EL.Ed.) is ready to be launched in October 2012 for the state of Jharkhand. The NIOS has been identified as an institution by Government of India that may contribute towards the training of untrained teachers serving in elementary sector through the ODL Mode.

The NIOS has been engaged in producing various Audio and Video programmes for better understanding of contents. A Web based Audio MuktaVidyaVani is ready to be launched by July 12 for the provision of audio lectures on all subjects. A plan of starting a community radio station is also under preparation so as to have education s large reach and meaningful comprehension. In order to enhance and promote education amongst minority communities, the NIOS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Commission for Minority Education Institutions (NCMEI), an autonomous organisation under MHRD, Govt. of India. This MOU s objectives are to expand the reach and impact of NIOS programmes for minority communities, to undertake active advocacy programmes by establishing linkages with minority educational institutions and to create a wider network of study centres and develop a mechanism for sharing of resources. The NIOS, in collaboration with the National Literacy Mission Authority (NLMA), Govt. of India conducted Basic Literacy Assessment of neo-literates under the Sakshar Bharat Programme all over India. In its different phases, 2,01,82,891 neo-literates were assessed of which 1,46,41,460 were certified till the end of 31 st March 2012 by NIOS. The hallmark of NIOS is its flexibility both in terms of its curriculum design, development and delivery of the courses. The NIOS has initiated its task for revising the course materials at secondary level after a gap of more than five years. For the first time, an attempt has also been made to integrate life skills with the curricular areas to make education more relevant to the lives of learners. It is the first national level institution which has successfully integrated academic subjects with vocational and skill development effectively linking education with livelihood. Our efforts in organizing the International Conference from February 2012 showcased the integration of academic and vocational subjects and made it a rare achievement. The NIOS is now well prepared to be an active partner to implement the National Vocational Education Qualification Framework (NVEQF) launched by Government of India. The second volume of the COMOSA Journal of Open Schooling was released on the 23rd Foundation Day of NIOS (23rd November 2011). A two-day annual meeting of the National Consortium for Open Schooling (NCOS) was held at Hyderabad from 9 to 10 February 2012 for finalisation and adoption of the Constitution of NCOS. All the above ascendancy was inconceivable without the base and groundwork of our officials accumulative and reasoned endeavours. With these words, I thank you for the confidence and conviction you have placed in the NIOS. MkW-,l-,l- tsuk vè;{k],uvkbzvks,l Dr S.S. Jena Chairman, NIOS

Accordingly, a Diploma in Elementary Education (D. El. Ed.) programme has been developed to meet the needs of the untrained teachers at the national level. As per NCTE prescription, the D.El.Ed.Programme is of two years duration, aiming to train the teachers through ODL mode. The D.El.Ed programme was launched in November The State Governments of Jharkhand, West Bengal and Meghalaya have approached NIOS for training their untrained teachers. The Learning Support Centre (LSC) Mitra addresses the issues and concerns of adolescents with an objective of developing learners potential through various strategies of Life Skills Education. The NCERT manual has been adopted to suit the MITRA requirements. This involved modifications based on the feedback of the learners obtained during the workshops. A lecture on Population environment and standard of living was developed through audio-video presentation to the learners. The NIOS collaborated with the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), Orissa and the Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development for development of a manual on Peer Education. During the discussion held on December 11, 2011 with the KISS it was proposed to share human resources for the training of NIOS learners at its Regional Centre as well as the study centres in Orissa. The NIOS actively supported the Project of ex-pttis Trainees of West Bengal for the improvement of their academic qualifications, during the year A total of 3018 learners were admitted under this project. Of these, 2063 students were admitted for improvement of their academic qualifications at Sr. Secondary level and 955 students were admitted to pursue Sr. Secondary course as their previous qualification was only up to secondary level. The NIOS has taken special initiative by opening 31 Bengali medium study centres, 09 English/ Hindi medium study centres and one study centre for Urdu medium students. The NIOS initiated the Open Basic Education (OBE) Programme as an equivalency programme for adult neoliterates. It successfully conducted the OBE programme in many parts of the country. The OBE programme provides a learning continuum based on graded curriculum while ensuring quality of education to the adult neoliterates, school drop-outs/left-outs and completers of non-formal education (NFE). The Mission Document of the Saakshar Bharat specifies one of its objectives to enable the neo-literates continue beyond basic literacy and acquire equivalency to formal educational system. It lays emphasis on the young adults okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 3 Annual Report

This facility was not available after registration. Basically, the policy of TOC was to assist the candidate by giving the weightage to the performance of the candidate in the Parent Board. In all Boards, there is a facility of horizontal and vertical movement. On the other hand, a big section of learners getting their education in the Madarsas was not provided equivalency as available to the students of formal school Boards. To address this problem, NIOS has decided to provide equivalency of the courses offered by Madarsa Boards with the courses offered by NIOS. Accordingly, NIOS has established the equivalency of the courses offered by the Bihar Madarsa Board at par with the Secondary and the Senior Secondary courses offered by NIOS. NIOS, being the pace setting open schooling system in the country, has decided to help the State Governments in setting up of their own Open Schools. NIOS provides advocacy and consultancy to states in this context. During , the State of Himachal Pradesh set up its State Open School, taking the total to seventeen State Open Schools. Efforts are being made to start the State Open Schools in the remaining states. A National Consortium for Open Schooling (NCOS) has been set up. Its Secretariat is located in NIOS. It provides forum for Open Schools in the country to deliberate on matters related to promotion of Open Schooling. In case of the Open and Distance Education system, all the learners make requests to the NIOS only. In case of formal education, requests are made to the school concerned. To take care of the requests and grievances of the learners in a time bound manner, it has been decided to introduce E-Samadhan. It is proposed that this system would be developed and installed soon. 1.4 Regional Services The Regional Centres of NIOS carried out their regular activities of admission and examination during this period. The Regional Centre Kolkata worked for the completion of Project of PTTIs Trainees of West Bengal for the improvement of their academic qualifications, during the year Many of the Regional Centres have been organising training workshops for the co-ordinators, tutors, evaluators etc. on a regular basis. Two adolescence friendly centres have been created in Jaipur and Bhubaneswar for the demonstration of life skills programme implemented in collaboration with UNFPA. 1.5 Evaluation and Assessment The Evaluation Department has been working on a very important task of evaluation and assessment of the okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 7 Annual Report

The schools and institutions desirous of becoming NIOS study Centres are applying through online mode for grant of accreditation. In the e-accreditation, there is provision to convert the offline application received into online so that the entire data for accreditation is available in electronic form and all the processes right from submission of application to award of accreditation are done through the online e-accreditation system. In order to provide more security to the online application and to make the system infallible, a system of bar code has been introduced. The introduction of bar code has helped in identifying the learners data more quickly as well as in reducing the cases of fake admissions. The barcode of the Reference Number is generated online and printed on the online filled-in application form at the time of submission of the form. Barcode has been introduced in the context of Online Admission for all the 4 Streams of Admission. The barcode is also printed on the Acknowledgement Receipt retained by the learner and Address label which the learner may use when he/she will send the application form through post. A two day Training-cum-Orientation Programme on Wiki and Moodle was organized during the year at the NIOS Computer Training Lab. The Workshop was attended by the faculty members and the Expert of OER community. The On-Demand Examination at Secondary and Sr. Secondary levels is conducted at NIOS HQ at NOIDA okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 10 Annual Report

'ksf{kd dk;zøe Academic Programmes Introduction The Academic Department is one of the most important divisions of the NIOS. In this department ground level school enhancements are deliberated and executed with vigilant and accurate delivery apparatuses in order to obtain inclusive superlative results. It develops education courses and programmes to make learning flow to the remotest areas and reach the unreached. The very aim of the NIOS, to a large extent is materialized and characterized by the Academic Department. The Academic Department is responsible for the academic courses that cover the whole spectrum of school education ranging from the primary to pre-degree level. It evolves curriculum and self-learning materials for new courses which are launched from time to time besides regular maintenance of the old courses together with research and development involvements and support to the learners evaluation. The Department develops study materials in print as well as audio visual programmes to benefit learners with the help of its Media Unit. The units and cells of the Academic Department are shown in the diagram below. 3.1 Open Basoc Education The Open Basic Education Programme of the NIOS provides elementary education at three levels, for school drop-outs and neo-literates, out of school learners through Accredited Agencies. Under its Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the Government of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has been endeavouring to provide Basic Education to all children, youth and adults in the country. The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) has launched the Open Basic Education (OBE) Programme, as an alternative educational programme, equivalent to the Elementary Education Programme of the formal education system. The OBE Programme explores and makes use of the potentialities of Distance Education Mode (DEM) for reaching the unreached.

EP is one type of continuing education since it provides an opportunity for adults who have completed primary education or its equivalent to continue their education to secondary level or even beyond, depending upon their ability, perseverance and diligence. The underlying objective is to bring parity between different systems of education, thereby ensuring that every learner has equal opportunity, if she/he desires to continue studies. Equivalency Programme constitutes an important part of Continuing Education as it enables adults to engage in lifelong learning. The curricula of OBE for adults, under the Equivalency Programme, have been designed at all three levels. Study materials are being developed Skill Development The modified scheme of Saakshar Bharat is being implemented in an integrated manner with the combination of basic literacy, basic education for equivalency, skill development and continuing education. The skill training programme helps in capacity building of the neo-literates to undertake economic activities, and wage employment with skill and proficiency leading to higher income and quality life enjoyment. Several meetings have been held with the NLMA to discuss the identification of vocational courses and procedures to implement different courses all over the country. It was decided to take some courses related to day to day life of neo-literates so that both academic and livelihood concerns go together. As per the Saakshar Bharat document there is a need to reduce gender and regional disparities. The focus of all programmes is on rural women. The NIOS has the professional and technical expertise and the experience in supporting the Saakshar Bharat Programme of Skill Development with the following objectives: 1. To provide Academic and Technical support in designing, developing and producing open education materials for Skill development programmes under Saakshar Bharat Mission. 2. To develop a basic literacy module that will be the basic modules for all vocational courses. 3. To identify and develop vocational courses with competencies at different levels. 4. To evolve sustainable ICT based transaction strategies for effective implementation of skill development programmes for Saakshar Bharat Mission. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 24 Annual Report

During the 12th Five Year Plan, the NIOS and the NLMA would initiate to develop a few vocational courses all over the country which would be implemented with the help of JSS all over the courses. The courses would be beneficial for the adult learners to get jobs or to become entrepreneurs Basic Literacy Assessment This Basic Literacy Assessment programme is a massive programme demanding active involvement of various governmental and non-governmental institutions/ departments right from national level to Panchayati Raj Institutions. Objectives of Assessment and Certification The main objectives of assessment of neo-literates are as under: Assessing their proficiency levels of attained functional literacy skills. Recognizing the level of achievements at basic literacy level through certification. Inspiring them for their vertical mobility in education. Enhancing informal experience and through equitable access to appropriate learning and life skills. Assessment of actual competence of adults in basic literacy is important for getting feedback of the success and outcomes of the programmes. The NIOS has been identified by the NLMA as the one and the only institution in the country to conduct the Assessment and Certification of Adults in Basic Literacy under the Saakshar Bharat Mission in the country. The phase one of the pilot project of the Assessment was conducted on 20 th August, 2010 for about 5, 18,385 learners. In its different phases, 2, 01, 82,891 neo-literates have been assessed and 1, 46, 41,460 have been certified till the end of 31st March 2012 by NIOS.

In its seventh year since its impregnation in 2005, year 2011 was the year of performative realization. The integration of Life Skills in the identified five subjects (Science and Technology, Social Science, Hindi, English and Home Science) of Secondary level was successfully done and the enriched self-learning material was made ready for printing. National Curriculum Framework 2005, developed by the NCERT suggests, Educational aims turn the different activities undertaken in schools and other educational institutions into a creative pattern and give them distinctive character of being educational. Learning to learn and the willingness to unlearn and relearn are important means of responding to new situations in a flexible and creative manner. Keeping the above in view, the NIOS thrusts on Curricular Interventions, Capacity Building, and establishment of Adolescent friendly centres and ICT support. Curricular Interventions Development and review of life-skills integrated lessons is a demanding and an intensive task. The integration of life skills in the identified five subjects (English, Hindi, Home Science, Science and Technology and Social Science) at Secondary level came at its final stage in the reporting year. Open peer Review workshop was also done for the review of Life Skills lessons. Capacity Building Workshops for Tutors A series of three day capacity building Workshops for Tutors were conducted in June 18-20, 2011 at Darbhanga, Bihar, Regional Centre, in September 8-10, 2011 at Ranchi, Bihar Regional Centre, and in September 13-15, 2011 at Jaipur Regional Centre. These highlighted the need to bring a just and equitable quality education. Furthermore, some workshops were conducted on topics like choosing Career, Role of Communication in Developing and Maintaining Relationships, Personality Development, Gender, Adolescence, Substance and Drug Abuse, Coping with Stress and Sensitization towards people living with HIV/AIDS. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 30 Annual Report

The main objective is to develop and deliver a vocational system of quality education supported by Open Education Resources (OER) and delivered to students for playing various roles in the areas of their choice and for obtaining their livelihood and place in society. These educational resources will not only be beneficial for the students pursuing their studies through Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system at school level, but also will be accessible to millions of learners interested in development of their skills in various vocations. This will also help in vocationalisation of the curriculum at Secondary and Sr. Secondary levels across the Boards in the country. The ultimate goal isto develop Certificate and Diploma level courses in chosen vocational areas with the support of Open Education Resources and delivered to students to develop their skills in the areas of their choice and for obtaining their livelihood and place in society. NIOS is in the process of developing OER in three subject areas, viz., ICT Applications, Rural Technology and Tourism & Hospitality Management.The project activities are based atthe NIOS Regional Centre, Puneby group of dedicatedprojectstaff.it strives to draw the resource support from the organizations, who will work as technology partner for deployment of the project inputs and academic support of the experts for developing the OER Separate Vocational Stream at + 2 level NIOS has introduced separate Vocational Stream at +2 (Senior Secondary) levels in the area of Computer and IT and Home Science with the approval of the Academic Council of NIOS. The main objectives of the separatevocational Stream are: 1. to provide a means for integration of academic and vocational stream at Senior Secondary level. 2. to enable learners for higher skill studies either vertically or horizontally in a specific stream Introduction of Modular Credit Based Course In order to streamline the Vocational programmes and bring parity with other boards/organizations, NIOS has introduced the credit system so that there is explicit standard relationship between academic programmes and students workload. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 46 Annual Report

On the other hand, a big section of poor society getting their education in the Madarsas was not provided similar facilities as available to the students of formal school boards. To address this problem, NIOS has decided to provide the equivalency of the courses offered by Madrassa Board with the courses offered by NIOS. Accordingly, NIOS has established the equivalency of the courses offered by Bihar Madrassa Board at par with the Secondary and Senior Secondary courses offered by NIOS. A similar action would be taken in case of the remaining six other Madrassa Boards. This decision of NIOS would help the students of Madarsas in getting quality education more districts covered under the umbrella of NIOS study Centres To provide the benefit of Open and Distance Education to the target group, it is desired that study centres should be available in each and every district to enhance easy accessibility. Accordingly, NIOS is making all efforts to reach the unreached. During last year, 193 districts did not have the study centres of NIOS. With continuous efforts, out of 193 districts, 128 districts have been covered and now 65 districts are left. NIOS is determined to make its presence felt in the remaining districts by next year New Regional Centres set up at Gandhi Nagar(Gujarat) and Bangalore (Karnataka) NIOS operates through a network of 16 Regional Centres, 2 sub centres and one cell in the country. To further expand its reach in the yearunder reporting, Regional Centres were opened in Gandhinagar (Gujarat) and at Bangalore (Karnataka). It is also proposed to start six new Regional centres in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Tamil Nadu and in Haryana. NIOS has been provided premises for opening of the Regional Centres in J&K and Jharkhand. In rest of the states, it is expected that State Governments would provide the space soon. Efforts are being made to operationalize new Regional Centres Seven more State Open Schools established NIOS being the pace setting open schooling system in the country has decided to help the State Governments in setting up their own Open School under the banner of National Consortium for Open Schooling (NCOS).

Keeping the same in view, it has been decided by NIOS that own building of Regional Centres be constructed. These new buildingswould also have PCP rooms, Laboratories, Library, Audio visual room etc in addition to the space for the administrative office. Accordingly, NIOS has requested all state governments to allot sufficient land for its Regional Centres % growth achieved by accrediting 241 new minority institutions : As per the Scheme of Providing Quality Education in Madrassa (SPQEM), NIOS has brought more minority institutions specially Madrassa under the umbrella of NIOS.

This decision of NIOS is to support the field staff so that they are able to provide quality services to the learners and enhance their knowledge and improve their performance. 5.3 Access through Online admissions With the introduction of on line admission under all the four streams of admission, the learners are benefited a lot and is helping them to take admission in the course of their choice. The salient features of On-line admissions are as follows: Faster and Simpler Admission: Direct access to NIOS Choice of Study Centre: Freedom to select Study Centre of one s choice Admission Open 24x7: Admission opened round the year for the learners for On Demand Examination of Secondary Course Better support services: Direct interaction of learners with NIOS, faster redressal of problems Easy Payment: Payment of fee online through Credit Card else by Bank Draft In addition to on line admission, the existing practice of admissions through Accredited Institutions (AIs) was continued, now rechristened as Off-line admissions. The off line facility of admission is for those learners who are not able to access the web of NIOS as well as for the remote areas. All the Regional Centres of NIOS and Study Centres are accepting the forms of admission under Stream-I through off line mode within the prescribed dates. These forms are then converted into on line by the Study Centres or by the Regional Centres.

The Government of India in 1990 vested NIOS with the authority to examine and certify students up to pre-degree level, and thus, the NIOS became one of the National Boards of Examination. It is the only Board which conducts two full-fledged examinations every year. NIOS has been conducting its public examinations since In order to measure learners achievement and evaluate their performance it has conducted 42 public examinations upto the year Unique Features of the NIOS Examination System NIOS does not have any infrastructure of its own. It shares the infrastructure and human resources of the institutions established by the public and private sector to conduct its examinations without disturbing their academic schedule. NIOS gives a lot of flexibility to the students in matters related to examination such as (no compulsion of appearing in all the subjects at the same examination) appearing in one or more subjects in the examination as per the convenience, credit accumulation of the passed subjects, nine chances to appear in the public examinations over a period of five years, and transfer of credit of two subjects passed from other selected boards and up to four subjects in the case of ex-nios learners. A student is allowed to write answers in the examination in any of the scheduled languages of India except language papers even if he/she has not opted for that medium. A student can appear in On Demand Examination at Secondary and Senior Secondary level examination any number of times as per his/her convenience over a period of 5 years i.e. up to the valid terms of his/her registration.

The paper setters are provided with the syllabus, study material, sample question papers and designs of question papers in order to facilitate preparation of balanced question papers containing short answer type, very short answer type, essay type and objective type questions based on knowledge, understanding and application skills. The sets of question papers are moderated by the concerned subject experts to ensure that questions are within syllabus; they are neither too tough nor too easy and the marking scheme is accurate and covers all parts of the questions. 6.3 Orientation of the Chief Secrecy Officers and Secrecy Officers In order to achieve the credibility of evaluation process, NIOS keeps the identity of the examinees secret. It hides the names and enrolment numbers of the candidates by allotting them fictitious numbers. These are made available to the concerned secrecy teams only. As the Chief Secrecy Officers (CSOs) and other secrecy team members are taken from outside, they need to be orientated about the concept of fictitious numbers and their role in this regard. During , the Department of Evaluation, organized two orientation programmes for Chief Secrecy Officers and Secrecy Officers of all the Regional Centres for April 2011 and October 2011 examinations. 6.4 Conduct of Public Examinations during NIOS conducted two public examinations, one in April 2011 and the other in October During the year , there were 7,00,289 number of candidates who appeared okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011&12 72 Annual Report

The students of NIOS were given instruction material duly packed in polythene for each subject. Availability of study material at a right time to the learners in distance education system is a great challenge. From the Year , NIOS has introduced 100% On-line admission round the clock in order to facilitate learners in registering themselves with it. The M.D. Unit used to despatch study material to its Study Centres for distribution to the learners but has now started despatching study material to On- Line learners for Stream-1 at their residential addresses. This Stream is open throughout the Year. There are three more Streams of Online admission viz. 2, 3 and 4 which are specifically designed for the learners who want to appear in NIOS examination at the earliest available opportunity. These learners want study material on payment basis and send payment through Bank Draft in favour of Secretary, NIOS payable at Noida.

The success of NIOS programmes and policies in a region largely depends on the pivotal role played by a Regional Centre. Presently 16 Regional Centres are functioning in different parts of the country: Allahabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar, Bhopal, Chandigarh, Delhi (Delhi I and Delhi II), Dehradun, Patna, Guwahati, Gandhi nagar, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Kolkata, and Pune. There are two sub-centres at Darbhanga and Vishakhapatnam. A cell has also been set up at Port Blair in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. 8.1 Functions of Regional Centres Basically, the Regional Centres are required to perform four types of activities: 1. Academic 2. Administrative 3. Promotional 4. Planning and Monitoring A brief description of the functions generally performed by the Regional Centres under each category is given below Academic Functions Conducting research in the area of Open Schooling and collecting feedback on the functioning of Accredited Institutions (AIs), Accredited Vocational Institutions (AVIs) and Accredited Agencies (AAs). Development of need based instructional material pertaining to the Open Schooling courses of study including regional languages and training packages.

It is a fully integrated library system which supports all activities related to acquisition, cataloguing, circulation and serial publications. Keeping pace with latest technology in the field of library and information science, the library procured the latest version of LIBSYS i.e. Libsys 7. The NIOS library also provides free INTERNET surfing facility for the members of the library. A two days orientation programme on Libsys was organized in NIOS library for its staff. 9.7 Introduction of Bar Code on application form NIOS has provided the facility of 100% online submission of application form on 24x 7 bases alongwith offline submission of forms. Admission to the candidate is confirmed only after verifying their eligibility with the help of documents submitted by them alongwith the computer generated application form. Earlier, this process was time consuming as manual operations were involved. Not only more time was taken for confirmation but there was a possibility of error also. To overcome this problem and to enhance efficiency, Bar Code has been introduced in the online submission of form which has provided an early confirmation of the admission to the learners thereby providing speedy services. 9.8 MOUs/WPAs with Various Organisations (a) McGraw Hill Education Services Pvt. Ltd. A Work plan agreement (WPA) was signed between the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), India and McGraw Hill Education Services Pvt. Ltd. for offering Certificate in Retail Sales Service course of six months duration. The objective of this agreement is to cater to the growing demand and employment avenues in the retail sector. After completion of the course, learners will be provided Placement Assistance by McGraw Hill Education Pvt. Ltd. for jobs in the Retail Industry. (b) Indian Tourism Development Corporation The NIOS has also entered into collaboration with the ITDC to provide the learners, knowledge and exposure of the Hotel industry where ample opportunities are available. The five diploma courses that are being offered under this MOUare in the field of Food Production and Management, Food and Beverage Operations, Housekeeping and Maintenance, Front Office Operations and Bakery and Confectionary. (c ) National Commission for Minority Education Institutions (NCMEI) In order to enhance and promote education amongst minority communities, the NIOS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Commission okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report

Initially, 146 KGBVs of Rajasthan were given accreditation for running Cutting, Tailoring and Dress Making course of NIOS. In , the NIOS offered an additional course Beauty Culture to 11 new KGBVs. In this context, all States and Union Territories have been requested to take up NIOS courses in KGBV on the pattern of KGBV Rajasthan. So far, Karnataka, Tripura, Madhya Pradesh and Haryana have shown the interest to take up NIOS courses in KGBV. Through the above initiatives, the NIOS aims to justify and fulfil its vision of imparting education to all. This incipient institution also looks forward to adding and materialising more such initiatives by spreading the word called literacy. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report

The setting up of the Capacity Building Cell is significant for a number of reasons. In the first place, the renaming of National Open School as National Institute of Open Schooling implied a special focus on training and research in addition to the delivery and certification functions. Secondly, the Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) document of the Government of India specified that 15% of the total student population of secondary stage would be channelized through the Open and Distance Learning System. Hence, both NIOS and the State Open Schools should be well prepared to face the challenge and take up the task of providing quality Secondary Education moving towards universalization at this stage Objectives The objective of the cell is to provide sustainable capacity building interventions required within NIOS and State Open Schools and organize activities in various areas of open schooling for different stakeholders. Also as a Resource organization, the NIOS is committed to supporting any commonwealth country, in case of a request received Activities Undertaken in The year under reporting saw a series of capacity building programme/workshops for NIOS faculty members and officials. The first of such programmes held on 15 th April 2011 was a one day Orientation Programme organised by the Media Unit for Writing for Camera.

The series of workshops were organised keeping the mind in fact that the newly recruited Academic Officers of different subject disciplines in the Academic and Vocational Departments were new to the field of ODL and hence needed grounding in different aspects of their area of work. The workshops were therefore focussed on the needs of the job profile of these officers who had mostly joined the organization from conventional education system. The State Open School functionaries and officials from Regional Centres were also a part of some of these programmes. The last Capacity Building Programme for the faculty members for the year under reporting was a three day workshop on Competency Based Education and Training. The Resource Person for this workshop was Dr. Vinay Swaroop Mehrotra, Associate Professor, Pandit Sunder Lal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education, Bhopal. The VARK styles of Learning, Motivating the Learners to use the ASSURE model and differentiating between Knowledge, Skill and Attitude were taken up for discussions and activities were arranged around these topics Tele-conference Programme for ODL Functionaries The last Friday of each month was always devoted to Tele-orientation programme for the ODL functionaries associated with NIOS. These programmes were organised at EMPC, IGNOU which were linked to the Regional Centres. Hence, the co-ordinators of AIs, AVIs, Academic Facilitators, and Subject Tutors working in the Study Centres throughout the country were oriented on different aspects of Open Schooling. The Academic, Vocational Education, Examination and Student Support Services Departments of NIOS took the opportunity to address the people associated with NIOS. In short, these Tele-orientation programmes provided an opportunity to these ODL functionaries to ask questions and clarify issues which had perturbed and worried them. Thus NIOS could use advanced technology to promote the cause of open schooling. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report

In such scenario, Open Schooling has to depend heavily on the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Under the programme and activities of the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), ICT is being used as a major strategy towards reaching the unreached and management of NIOS Infrastructure and Areas of Applications The NIOS has come a long way in the forefront of use of ICT since it made a small beginning with very limited resources to well-equipped computer center with various types of computers, printers and networking of latest configuration. The NIOS Online is a major ICT initiative in the direction of e-governance. Today in the arena of Web World, NIOS is playing a significant role by providing all the information through Internet as well most of the services are online. For the NIOS Online applications there are three web servers and mail servers installed and maintained at the CDAC-NOIDA Student Information System Student Information System is a complete package developed in-house to computerize the entire process, from Registration to issue of Certificates. Admission : Online Admission During the year, the online admission was expanded further at a large scale. Technical infrastructures were deployed for 100% online admission. The necessary modifications were made in the online application and database to handle the 100% online admission. The online admissions were done by the Facilitation Centres identified by the Regional Centres of NIOS. okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report

In order to provide more security to the online application and to make the system infallible, a system of barcode has been introduced. The introduction of barcode has helped in identifying the learners data more quickly as well as in reducing the cases of fake admissions. Besides enhancing the security aspect, barcodes are very useful in tracking of the application form. The bar code of the Reference Number is generated online and printed on the online filled-in application form at the time of submission of the form. Bar code is introduced in the Online Admissions for all the four streams of Admission. The bar code is also printed on the acknowledgement Receipt retained by the learner and Address label which the learner uses it when he/she will send the application form through post AI wise learners list and TMA list The AI wise list of the learners and the TMA list for Stream- 1 ( ) Block- I & II were made available on the website under study centre corner 14.7 Web Based online Monitoring of ODES at Regional Centre At present On-Demand Examination is conducted at 13 Regional Centres of NIOS besides at the NIOS HQ at NOIDA.

Need assessment survey is essential at block, district, state and Regional level National before developing a curriculum or course in vocational education New vocational courses should be introduced to meet new skill demands,obsolete courses should be phased out of the education system; VET programmes need to be developed and implemented with the help of the concerned and relevant stake holders particularly practical training to the learners. This is most significant from the quality assurance aspect. Industry participation in the development of curriculum training and its transaction is essential. Revision of all curricula and instructional materials for integration of academic and vocational competencies needs to be done; to focus on needs of rural India as well. There is a need to revise and recast the curriculum in modular form and to develop the credit system to enable the learner to get credits for accumulation as well as transfer when going from vocational programme to academic and vice versa. This will provide greater flexibility to the learner and a system for availing certificate, diploma or advance Diploma needs to be put in place depending upon the credits earned by the learner. NIOS may develop programmes in academic and vocational areas so as to promote lifelong learning. The focus of vocational education should be on lifelong learning to enable people to participate fully as an empowered citizen. The courses developed by NIOS may generally follow the models/ pathways suggested and outlined in NVEQF. Integration of academic and vocational education needs to be done at school level through modalities suggested in NVEQF. Provide the learner with mobility vertical as well as horizontal; mobility between education and training; equivalence of courses/modules need to be considered; ensure seamless integration between education and vocational education. An effective use of ICT in interactive mode may be more effective and helpful to the learner. Video conferencing may also be used efficiently. Promote okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report

This would add to the credibility of learners in the world of work as well as lend quality and credibility to the programme. There are three dimensions of TVET skills, namely, academic, occupational and trade technical skills. Thus for occupational/skill training there should be criterion referenced testing and not norm referenced testing. Learning materials may be developed for all courses in self-instructional mode and provided on line. CDs may be made for practical activities and provided to the AI s/avis to be used by the learners. Master trainers/master craftsmen/trainers are needed for the AVIs. Suitable training programmes may be developed for the development of this category of trainers. Capacity building of teachers and trainers in best vocational pedagogical practices; Shortage of trainers and their unwillingness to relocate to rural areas raises a challenge in sustaining vocational training facilities. A hybrid model involving existing teacher Standardized list of competencies, to be developed by the learner after completing a module, needs to be developed and put in place as this would also provide a reference for assessment. Competency standards need to be developed for lower, intermediate and higher levels of courses e.g. certificate, diploma and advanced diploma. A Management Information System (MIS) may be setup to enable the administration to know about the impact of each course and conduct tracer studies to know and assess each programme and progress of pass outs. Regular monitoring and feedback is a must for qualitative growth. A well developed monitoring and feedback system will go a long way in ensuring quality in the academic and vocational programmes. In order to meet the increased demand for trained manpower and to utilize the trainers in the industry as well as their infrastructure, Public Private Partnership (PPP) model may be explored and promoted.

(2) NIOS was a part of the multi country research project entitled Integrating Vocational Education with Academic Education in Commonwealth Open Schools under the COMOSA Research project. The origin of this research study lies in the decision taken at the first meeting of The Commonwealth Open School Association (COMOSA) in 2010 wherein an agreement was reached on a global open schooling research agenda based on priorities identified by participating open schools. The expected outcomes of this study were: ( 1) To create an awareness and better understanding of what works/does not work in Integrating Vocational Education with the Academic /General education in Open Schools and ( 2) To determine strategies that will enhance the reliability and credibility of an integrated curriculum in Open Schools. (3) There was a launch of the William & Flora Hewlett Foundation / Commonwealth of Learning Open Educational Resources for Open Schools (OER40S) in Seychelles on 2 March This launch was attended by the COMOSA Chairperson Dr S.S. Jena (Chairman, NIOS) and COMOSA Treasurer Dr Kuldeep Agarwal (Director, Academic NIOS). okf"kzd fjiksvz 2011& Annual Report
