What is Geospatial Mapping of Schools ???
Geospatial School mapping with the help of Global
Positioning System (GPS) facilitates in preparing
need based plans at grassroots level. By
integrating infrastructure facilities of schools
with the mapping will help in decision making.

• Webenabled school mapping helps to
• Identify habitations without access to
  schooling facilities.
• Conduct proximity analysis.
• Measure Distances.
• View photographs of infrastructure
  facilities.
• Upgrading of schools.

3
Why School Mapping ???

• Universalization of Access
• Universalization of Enrollment.
• Fixing individual schools responsibility.
• Web-based Monitoring Mechanism
• Quick Data Dissemination.

• Geospatial Mapping of schools in A.P is the
  in-house product of Rajiv Vidya Mission (SSA),
  Andhra Pradesh
• It was conceived by RVM(SSA), A.P and Technically
  designed, developed by hosted by NIC, AP

6

• It is a powerful GIS tool with MIS Reports
• It provides necessary inputs for planning the
  school education activities with reference to
• 1. Access
• 2. Enrollment
• 3. Retention
• 4. Manpower planning (Teacher requirement
  and
  availability )
• 5. Infrastructure
• 6. Social and Gender gaps
• Inclusive Education with reference to physical
  Infrastructure and Mainstreaming for Children
  With Special Needs.

7

• It performs the following functions.
• It Pinpoints the exact physical location of any
  selected school with reference to geospatial
  coordinates (Latitude, Longitude)
• It also shows the photographs of the school
  covering the infrastructure facilities like
  (Building, Toilets , Drinking water, compound
  wall, play ground , Electricity, Science labs,
  Library, Kitchen shed etc).

• It is also a tool to measure distances between
• School to School
• Habitation to Habitation
• Habitation to school

Contd..
9

• It also does proximity analysis Showing the
  Number of Schools with in a given radius from a
  habitation (1km,3km,5km and so on)
• Shows the Number of habitations with in a given
  radius of a given habitation

10

• Proximity analysis can be done using circle
  tool (Drawing a circle around any point with
  desired radius )
• Locate your School
• By selecting from a drop down menu any school
  can be located.

• Query building
• In this application required reports can also be
  generated by using Query Builder.
• Classification of Schools management-wise
• Availability of infrastructure and basic
  amenities like
• Drinking water, Electricity, Toilet, compound
  wall etc.

Key Features of School Mapping
Geo Coordinates of Schools (Latitude Longitude
Values)- The coordinates were captured by the
trained Teachers by using Geographical
Positioning System (GPS) instrument.
Photographs of infrastructural
facilities Teachers were trained how to capture
photographs of infrastructural facilities like
school building, compound wall, class room, play
ground, library, lab, electricity, computers,
drinking water, kitchen shed and toilets in the
school with digital cameras. These photos have
been incorporated in GIS application so as to
view the infrastructural facilities.

Key Features of School Mapping
Comprehensive school reports To generate school
reports, GIS application has utilized school
report cards site of National University of
Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA).
This application sends particular code of
District, Block and school to NUEPA site to
download school report card which contains
comprehensive information of a school. This data
will be updated automatically.

Key Features of School Mapping
Map Tips for Schools School information like,
District Information for School Education (DISE)
code, School code and school name can be viewed
on mouse over. Map Tips for Habitations Habitat
ion information like, Habitation name
population can be viewed on mouse over.

Key Features of School Mapping
Measuring Aerial distance School to School,
Habitation to Schooland Habitation to Habitation
As schools and habitations are placed with
spatial coordinates, it is possible to measure
aerial distance from one location to another.
So, with the help of this system we can measure
aerial distance between school to school,
habitation to school, and habitation to
habitation.

Key Features of School Mapping
Proximity analysis of schools and habitations
It is useful to examine the proximity of schools
as per SSA norms. One can find out how many
schools are falling within a given radius from a
particular habitation and the system can also
generate various reports of schools lying in the
specified proximity. The analysis can be
extended up to any radius. The radius and the
target layer can be selected from Dropdown menu.
