Despite transferring the administration of schools to the panchayats, the scheme has failed to generate in parents and the panchayats an active demand in terms of supervising and supporting the school, taking an interest in the teaching-learning process and thinking about educational issues. This relative passivity of parents and panchayats, despite decentralisation and community control of schools, do not augur significant change for the school system and the teacher as yet. - Reproduced Teachers - India - Madhya Pradesh Teachers Economic and Political Weekly 41480 41480 41480 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 34, Issue no: 25 AR41856 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
