have been working on Education reforms for almost 10 years without any success. The apathy in today’s education System is clearly evident from the fact that after 60 years of Independence we don’t have a program for every child going to School.
India boasts about 65% literacy; Education in the Urban world is much better compared to what happens in the rural world. I have heard the opportunity of visiting a lot of middle schools in te rural area, I was moved by the effort some teachers put in without any government support, I was equally annoyed by some of the teachers who are not bothered about teaching but the money the Government pays them.
But finally, when thinking back, I am a convent educated kid, had access to the best of education toys and gears, I was wondering why we are not able to provide the same kind of education to the Poor in the rural areas?
The drop out in the schools in rural areas are so high, I also realised it was because of the teachers in the schools and nonexistent toys or gears to create the Interest, can’t blame the teachers as they are also not trained to keep the child motivated nor to teach effectively..
The Government in the name of Education cess, takes so much of money out of us, wondering if there was so much of money available for Education why is the Government not providing quality Education which matches the Private Schools? What is lacking? why is that we as citizens don’t care about what happens in the Education set-up in India?
Education is the key to changing the Society, basic primary education should be a right, and Government should provide state of the art Education Systems, gadgets, infrastructure to the Government Schools to match up with the rural Schools.
Still trying to understand if this is a inability of the Government or is it a systematic failure of Governance? How does one get this correct? Can we take this issue up, which is one of the most key issues Plaguing our country? How does one correct it? What is the solution to better Education in this country? Can we get all your views?
