Education Cess - Where did the Money Go?

Money goes to create educated-uneducated?
I happen to belongs to country side and travel to my village and surrounding areas frequently.

The state of the schools there is "distribution center of Mid Day Meal", one teacher is present on a day and rest of the appointed teachers are no where on the scene (this is pooling of resources by the teachers).

The children are sitting on the unclean floor - no dress - even not in full cloths - some are below three years also - they are there just to take MDM and leave, so is the case with the lone teacher - he/she also leave after that and the school is done for the day.

70% of the students of class IV - V, do not know the name of the State, President, PM and can not write his own name properly, leave aside reading and writing.

The solution lies not in SSA but in creating MODEL SCHOOLS i.e. Central Schools/Navodaya Vidyalaya in proportion to the population in each block.

As per gross estimates, we need 80 thousand such schools (if we assume the student population to be 40 Crores out of 125 crore population, 2 parents, 2 children and 2 old members. each school with a capacity of 2500 in each shift).

Now deduct the quality private/public schools from the count of 80K. Close the rest whether private or public. Divide by 5 and complete the creation each year with accountability and partnership of the communities/panchayats/NGO's.

This is a dream but I hope will be fulfilled some day and we will also claim 100% literacy.

I am ready to leave my job and go to my village to create such a model school and may arrange for LAND free.
