Kids Education Is In High Demand

March 6th, 2010

With over a billion people, the cities in India are bursting at the seams. The basic necessities of urban life have dropped to a low and the need for food, housing, hospitals and schools are in immensely short supply. Parents across the country have felt the demand for good schools to be of prime importance to not only because they want to give their children the best educational opportunities but also because during admissions, schools get filled up and the rate at which new schools are coming up doesn’t match with the number of children that need to go to school but have got admission because there are no more schools left to take them in.

This is the sad state of affairs in the Indian schools. Though there are a number of schools across the country, the problem is that not all these schools begin with nursery. Some of them are from class 1 to 5, while others are still building more classes to their existing school infrastructure. This has led the majority of parents to flock to schools that are complete i.e schools that have classes from nursery to class 12, so that they don’t have to be on the look out for continuation schools.

Most of the Indian schools that start from Class-I are limited in their intake which makes admissions a competitive process. Also, another hindering factor is that the income group, to which the parents belong to, restricts parents to try only for such schools. Unfortunately there is an even greater shortage of good, competent pre-primary schools from the vast number of Pre-primary, Primary, High and Boarding/Day Boarding Schools.Despite all these factors, good schools still seem to be in high demand. Parents at times do tend to apply to schools even if they feel they may not be able to afford the fee.

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.
