Abstract

Several residential schooling strategies exist for girls in the publicly funded school system in India. However, there is no definite policy on residential schooling in general or for girls in particular. The information on the performance of these schemes / programmes / strategies remains uneven, isolated and sporadic. A good number also exist in the private sector catering to both girls and boys, and information about them is even more limited. It is in this context that this study based on review of literature and documents coupled with validation visits to a few sites and consultations with key stakeholders plays an important role in providing several key pointers for policy initiatives. The study focuses on formal schools and ALPs, and does not delve deep into hostels or the bridge courses.
