Improving the quality and efficiency at the school/classroom level is a major thrust area under SSA as it aim to provide education of a 'satisfactory quality' in achieving the goal of education for all. Mere focus on access, enrolment and retention may not result in better school effectiveness. The effort towards achievement of quality need to go hand-in-hand with efforts directed towards increasing access, enrolment and retention. The ultimate goal of all quality directed interventions is to attain positive changes within the school-classroom settings. Certain major components that contribute towards quality improvement within schools and classrooms are:

•  Vision of Quality Elementary Education
•  Curriculum Renewal Plan
•  Teaching Learning Material (including textbooks)
•  Teacher Training
•  Teaching-Learning Process
•  Academic Resource Support Structure
•  Monitoring of Quality Aspects
