State Open School(SOS)
The
National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) with current enrolment of about
thirteen lakh students at Secondary and Senior Secondary stage is the largest
open schooling organization in the world.
However, it is not possible for NIOS alone to cater to the needs and
variations of all regions of a multilingual multicultural country like India. It is difficult for one organisation at the national level to extend
its functions and coverage and increase its enrolment beyond certain limits.
For “reaching the unreached”, the Open Schooling System is required
to be promoted and strengthened in the country.
To
meet the regional diversity, the concept of State Open School (SOSs)
has come up. Considering that education is state responsibility,
eleven States of India also established Open Schools in the State with regional
medium. NIOS have been providing professional and technical support to the
states to establish such SOS, where necessary.
