Indian Parents Want Nursery Class Education For Their Child

March 15th, 2010

Education is a fundamental human right and essential for the exercise of all other human rights. It promotes individual freedom and empowerment and succumb important development benefits. It’s a powerful tool by which economically and socially marginalized people can lift themselves out of poverty and participate fully as a citizen. But for that we need to ensure a strong basis first to our kids.

The RTE Act provides for free and compulsory education to the children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. But what about preparing the child well before he enters the primary school? The age of 3 to 5 year is a crucial time in the life of a child. In this particular stage the child develops his ideas about the world and also it is the time when his basic instincts are shaped up. It is said that what a child learns in this period, he remembers that for the rest of his life. In this period the child resembles to clay.

The teachers and parents together can shape up this clay with their love, care, patience and dedication. As the world is developing rapidly, so forming a strong basis of the children has become the need of the hour. Parents having sound economical status can afford to send their kids into good nursery schools. What about the children from economically weaker section? Don’t they deserve a good grooming in the nursery schools? Raising all these questions, the Indian parents are now appealing to the Indian Government to implement RTE Act for the nursery students as well.A social activist, Mrs. Survi Sarda put her views as “we thank the Indian Government for implementing such an Act as RTE. But what is the use of such Act when we are unable to provide a strong basis to our little angles.

As nursery school trains its kids and prepares them for the battle called life, so it should also come under RTE Act”. Mrs. Sarda further stated that “if the Government can provide free and compulsory education to the nursery students, the number of school goers will increase in the villages of the country”. Anganwadi, a government sponsored child-care and mother-care center also contributing a lot in the villages of the country. But the need still remains for free nursery education system for each and every child of the country. It would be a new dawn in the education system of the country if Government can implement RTE Act for the nursery goers as well.

All The Indian States Should Provide Kids Education Free Of Cost

March 3rd, 2010

Right to education is one of the basic rights that are given to all the citizens of the country. After independence, many efforts have been made by the Government of the country to educate the people. At the time of independence, the literacy rate of the country was very low of around five to ten percent. The government has taken many steps and recommended many reforms. For spreading education and making it easily accessible to the masses, the Government opened many schools across the country for spreading education. Free education was provided at these schools.

The main aim was to ensure that the people should come to this school and get educated. At that time, the Indian government had asked many big industrial firms and rich people to open schools in order to help them educate people. Many schools were opened by these people to educate the common mass. After the combined efforts by the Government and the nonprofit organizations, the literacy rate in India has increased.

At the end of British rule in 1947, the literacy rate in India was 12% and the present literacy rate in India is 74.04%. India has achieved a lot of success as far as increasing the literacy rate is concerned. But the country has to go a long way as far as achieving the literacy rate is concerned. In various states in India, there is a lot of disparity in the literacy rate. The Government has to take many steps to remove the disparity in terms of education in between various states of the country. Making education is one of few steps that will help in increasing the literacy rate in the country.

One step the Government is taking is that it is opening nursery schools across the country to provide elementary education to the small children. The public schools earlier provided free of cost education to the students. But later a nominal amount was charged. The disparity in literacy rates in various states has to be looked into. The government should also provide the people with public directory India where they look for schools where their children can study. All the facilities and contact information for the schools must be mentioned in the directory. This directory must be available for both offline and online so that the students can access the same from anywhere and anytime.
