The Centre has decided to slash its share of funds in about 18 social sector schemes including flagship education programme Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA). The central government and states would contribute equally for programmes such as SSA, Rashtriya Uchchtar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA), a departure from the previous 65%-35% formula.

What are Open Educational Resources
OERs are defined as “educational materials—textbooks, research articles, videos, assessments, simulations—that are either licensed under an open copyright license—for example, Creative Commons—or in the public domain. In both cases you have free (no-cost) access to the OER and free (no-cost) permission to engage in the “4R” activities when using them, including:
- Revise: adapt and improve the OER so it better meets your needs
- Reuse: use the original or your new version of the OER in a wide range of contexts
- Remix: combine or “mashup” the OER with other OER to produce new materials
- Redistribute: make copies and share the original OER or your new version with others (Wiley, Green & Soares 2012:2).
