CAG Report Reveals Lapses in Goa's Education Program
The government's education program in Goa, called Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan, had some problems.
A report by the CAG found that computers and internet were not set up in schools as planned.
Also, students didn't get money for uniforms in one year.
Some schools didn't have things like playgrounds or libraries.
Many students also stopped going to school, and the reasons for this weren't always known.
The report shows there were issues with how the program was planned and how money was used.
CAG report highlighted shortcomings in Goa's Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan.
ICT implementation was delayed due to missing NOC, leading to fund blockage.
Uniform allowance wasn't provided to students in 2015-16 due to insufficient funds.
Teacher training fell short, and some schools lacked required infrastructure.
Student dropouts occurred, with no system to track reasons.
