सहज शिक्षा अभियान के तहत मॉडर्न वर्ल्ड ट्रस्ट ने एक नई पहल शुरू की है जिसमें 60 प्रतिशत फीस ट्रस्ट द्वारा प्रदान की जाएगी और 40 प्रतिशत फीस अभिभावकों द्वारा भुगतान की जाएगी। यह एक अद्यतन पॉलिसी है जिसका उद्देश्य सहज शिक्षा को वित्तीय रूप से सुगम और सुलभ बनाना है ताकि अधिक संख्या में छात्र उसका लाभ उठा सकें।
इस नई पॉलिसी के अनुसार, 60 प्रतिशत फीस ट्रस्ट द्वारा दी जाएगी, जिसका मतलब है कि छात्रों को केवल 40 प्रतिशत फीस देनी होगी। यह उनके लिए वित्तीय दबाव को कम करेगा और उन्हें सुविधाजनक शिक्षा प्राप्त करने में मदद करेगा।
यह पॉलिसी पांच साल के लिए होगी, जिसका मतलब है कि पंचवर्षीय अवधि तक यह योजना लागू रहेगी। इस अवधि के दौरान, छात्रों को वित्तीय संकट से छुटकारा मिलेगा और उन्हें शिक्षा के प्रति अधिक ध्यान देने में सक्षम बनाने में मदद मिलेगी।
यह पॉलिसी बनाने के लिए अभिभावकों के सहयोग को मजबूत किया जाएगा। उन्हें केवल 40 प्रतिशत फीस देनी होगी, जो उनके लिए आरामदायक होगी। इससे छात्रों के परिवारों को वित्तीय तनाव कम होगा और वे अपने बच्चों के शिक्षा में अधिक अवलंबन कर सकेंगे।
इस पॉलिसी का उद्देश्य सहज शिक्षा के प्रति आम लोगों के उद्यम को बढ़ावा देना है और समाज के हर वर्ग के छात्रों को शिक्षा का अधिक अवसर प्रदान करना है। यह पॉलिसी शिक्षा में सामान्यकरण की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है और सहज शिक्षा को सामूहिक रूप से प्रदान करने के लिए वित्तीय समर्थन प्रदान करेगी।
सहज शिक्षा अभियान के तहत मान्यता प्राप्त स्कूलों में 1000 सीटों पर पात्र विद्यार्थियों को प्रवेश दिया जाएगा। इसके लिए निम्नलिखित पॉलिसी का अनुसरण किया जाएगा:
School Branch Expansion
Conduct feasibility studies and community assessments to determine the most suitable locations for new school branches, taking into account factors such as population density, transportation access, and educational demand.
Ensure that the curriculum and educational programs offered at the new branches are in line with national standards and tailored to meet the specific needs of the local community.
Implement a sustainable funding model to support the ongoing operation and maintenance of the new school branches, which may involve partnerships with local government, businesses, or other NGOs.
Monitor the progress and performance of the new school branches regularly, with a focus on student enrollment, attendance, and academic outcomes, to ensure the success and sustainability of the expansion.
Expanding the network of school branches can significantly increase access to quality education and have a lasting impact on the educational opportunities available to underserved communities. It’s essential to plan and execute this project carefully to ensure its long-term success.
Establish a scholarship program to support financially disadvantaged students in pursuing higher education. This could include scholarships for tuition fees, textbooks, and other educational expenses.
Distance Study Programs
Create a digital platform or learning management system (LMS) to deliver educational content, including video lectures, interactive quizzes, assignments, and access to e-books and other learning materials.
Offer a range of courses and subjects, including core academic subjects, vocational skills training, and personal development courses, to cater to a diverse audience.
Provide access to online tutors or mentors who can support and guide students through their coursework, answer questions, and provide feedback on assignments.
Ensure that the distance study programs are accessible to individuals with disabilities by providing accessible content and assistive technologies.
Reach out to remote and underserved communities to promote awareness of these programs and facilitate enrollment.

Distance study programs can be a powerful tool for expanding educational access, especially in areas with geographical or logistical challenges. They also provide flexibility for individuals who need to balance their education with work or other responsibilities. Modern World Trust NGO can leverage technology and partnerships to make these programs widely accessible and effective.
Develop adult literacy programs to empower adults in marginalized communities with basic reading and writing skills, as well as vocational training opportunities.
Identify schools in underserved areas and initiate projects to improve infrastructure, such as building classrooms, providing clean drinking water facilities, and constructing libraries.
Create online learning platforms or partner with existing ones to provide free educational resources, video tutorials, and interactive lessons for students of all ages.
Collaborate with local schools, universities, and educational institutions to leverage resources, expertise, and support for educational initiatives.
Work to bridge the digital divide by providing computers, tablets, and internet access to students who lack these resources for online learning.
Facilitate language and cultural exchange programs to broaden students’ horizons and promote intercultural understanding.

Selecting those who truly deserve assistance in the context of free education can be a challenging task. It requires a fair and transparent selection process to ensure that support reaches those who would benefit the most. Here are some guidelines that can be followed:
Needs Assessment: Conduct a thorough needs assessment to identify individuals or communities with limited access to education due to financial constraints, social disadvantages, or other barriers. This can involve surveys, interviews, or collaborating with local organizations to gather data and understand the specific challenges faced by potential beneficiaries.
Eligibility Criteria: Establish clear eligibility criteria based on the specific objectives and scope of the free education program. These criteria can include factors such as financial need, academic merit, disadvantaged backgrounds, or specific target groups (e.g., girls, refugees, disabled individuals). Ensure that the criteria are fair, non-discriminatory, and aligned with the program’s goals.
Application and Documentation: Develop an application process where candidates can submit their information, including their background, financial situation, academic records, and any relevant supporting documentation. This process helps verify the eligibility of applicants and ensures that resources are allocated to those who meet the criteria.
Review Committee or Panel: Establish a review committee or panel comprising education experts, community representatives, and relevant stakeholders. This committee should review the applications, assess the candidates’ suitability, and make informed decisions based on the eligibility criteria and available resources. The committee should operate with transparency, integrity, and impartiality.
Selection Criteria: Define clear selection criteria to evaluate candidates objectively. These criteria may include academic performance, financial need, motivation, potential impact, and alignment with the program’s objectives. Assign appropriate weights to each criterion and use a standardized scoring system or ranking mechanism to facilitate the selection process.
Verification and Validation: Conduct thorough checks and verification processes to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by the applicants. This may involve verifying financial documents, contacting educational institutions for academic records, or conducting interviews to assess the candidates’ commitment and potential.
Appeals and Feedback Mechanism: Establish a mechanism for candidates to appeal the selection decisions or provide feedback on the process. This allows for transparency and accountability and helps address any concerns or discrepancies that may arise during the selection process.
Regular Evaluation: Continuously evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the free education program. Monitor the progress and outcomes of the selected beneficiaries to ensure that the support provided is achieving the intended goals. Adjust the selection process if necessary based on feedback and lessons learned.
