    My right: Universal elementary education
    My right: Universal elementary education
    A plight on Indian universal elementary education system

    The god has created this wonderful universe. In this universe he/she has sent human to live. In human he/she has inserted an organ named brain. The brain generates ideas, these come from knowledge and finally knowledge can be gather only and only by education. Thus education is a basic fundamental need of human to live natural life.
    In future, India is going to be largest population hub of world. Are we providing our new born brains that knowledge which they deserve? “My Right” deals with this aspect of future’s India. Right to education has become fundamental right in Indian statues books in 2002, as once Indian parliament had given its approval to 86th constitutional amendment in 2002 under article 21A of constitution. According to this every Indian child 6-14 year of age has fundamental right to free and compulsory education. Additional to this government of India has introduced a bill called “Right to education bill 2005”, which deal with early age child care and education for all children until they acquired the age of six. It also says that, it is the fundamental duty of every Indian parent to provide equal opportunities to his/her children of age of 6-14years to get education.
    Please look into this for my sake.
    Population
    (6-14years) 226204139
    Below poverty line
    Population(6-14 years) 56573568
    (25%)
    Total of students
    (primary) 149400000
    Number of schools
    (primary) 664041
    Number of teachers
    (primary) 2900000
    Teacher/students ratio 40/teacher
    Children not able to attend

    (33.9%)
    %of girls out of school 39%
    Expenditure on education 4.02% GDP
    Source: census 2001&: UNICEF statistical year book

    What are the reasons behind this all?
    1. 25% of Indian population still live below poverty line means <one dolor/day. (appox. 26 cores people). For them food is theirs first priority, out of total 226204139 population (6-14 year age group) 56573568 are from below poverty line families. To keep them with studies needs extra motivated approach, which missing today in national education system.
    2. The low adoption of modern education system by Muslims.
    India is a multi religions nation.
    a) % of religion based population
    b) %of illiteracy among 6-14year
    Above facts clearly tell the whole tale itself. 30.8% of my Muslim friends are remaining illiterate in target age for universal elementary education campaign (6-14 year). This is highest among all religious population in India. It is largely because, Muslims prefer theirs religious education over modern education.
    3. Gender bias ness.
    The Indian society is fully male dominant. The gender equation always tilts towards male section of society, decline sex ratio; numbers of women in different parts of society to government position is clear cut message of bias ness towards women in my part of world. This is also a hurdle in making my school/class fully humane. (Where every child of age 6-14 year can attend it
    without any consideration of caste, creed, religion and gender).Please go through it. After making every girl child into school/class room, then and only than we can see education for all in real sense.

    4. Urban based education system.
    Education system of India is urban centric, Every financial capable Indian parent want to send theirs kids to these urban schooling, so big gap has been created in favors of urban because all good schools, educational institutions and universities are based in urban areas.
    Who is caring for me?
    The education in India is subject of all and none to responsibility. As per Indian constitution education fall in concurrent list, which mean federal and state governments has its say on this all important subject of human development. Following are my care takers.
    1. Federal government.
    2. State government.
    3. International agencies (united nations)
    4. Private sectors.
    What are being done for my sake?
    1. Sarv shiksha abhiyan(Indian universal elementary education campaign)
    2. Mid day meal programme(food for education launched in 1995 and revised in 2004)
    3. District Primary Education Programme (launched in November, 1994 to overhauling the primary education system in India)
    4. Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (Setting up unto 750 residential schools with boarding facilities at elementary level for girls belonging predominantly to the SC, ST, OBC and minorities in difficult areas.)
    5. Programme of Mobilizing Local Support to Primary Schools (PLUS)(launched in 2004 to get additional local resources by local support.)
    6. 86th constitutional amendment in 2002 under article 21A of constitution. (every Indian child 6-14year of age has fundamental right to free and compulsory education)
    7. Right to education bill 2005. (Early age child care and education for all children until they acquired the age of six.)
    What I require?
    As above stated programmes and schemes are being run by different federal and state governments agencies for me but still I am not able to reach school yet. So to get me enroll in school, I require following.
    1. One teacher for 15 students

    Students/teacher ratio Source: UNESCO
    Above pictorial facts show that developed nations has always less Students/teacher ratio as compare to developing side, but some developing nations has achieved shoulder to shoulder with developed ones like China, Iraq etc. As identical to China, I require one teacher for 19 students of my class.
    2. One School in one kilometer radius.
    India has 2973190sq.km Land area. AS one school with in one kilo meter radius need approximately 2000000 primary schools, where as only 664041 schools are for me. This clearly means 1335959 more schools I require to get my education near to my home.
    3. Free education for all
    As per 86th constitutional amendment has ensured me free and compulsory education (6-14year age). But in practical rural India and some urban, it is too implemented in true sprit.
    4. Common education system across India.
    As in India education is subject for all but responsibility of none, because there is not a uniform education system in nation. This has made me more vulnerable when I have to move around nation in my 6-14 year’s child hood. So I need a common education system across the nation to make me easy at every part of country as same.
    5. Education in my mother tongue
    Language is the first barrier which a child has to face in his/her school entrance in India. If it is removed than I may really not fear to attend my school as I do now. Which in latter becomes substantial reason of my drop out from schools.
    Where lay my future?
    My future is lying in your hands. The world fraternity has pledged in April 2000 at Dakar (Senegal), education for all unto 2015 A.D. Where as my Indian education planners has set 2010A.D for me to be in school/class room. Last not the least is my humble request to all who are concerned with this mission “education for all” that kindly look into above plight, so that my right for universal elementary education will be available to my every brethren and sisters at the time of theirs birth.

    An Indian child of 1967

    Encouraging Your Loved One To Finish Their High School Education
    When you see a loved one end their high school education, it is a difficult thing to watch. Especially when it is your child. Many young people may not understand the importance of a high school education to their future and can only see the difficulty it may cause in their current daily life. It may be they don’t get along with other students or even the teachers. Regardless of the situation, it is hard to watch a loved one throw their future away.

    A high school education does not need to be received in the traditional high school setting. With today’s technology, there are many ways in which to get an education. One of the best means of receiving a high school education is to participate in an online education program. Many are low-priced and offer choices to the participating student.

    Online high school education provides the student access to as many classes as they need to receive their high school diploma. Whether the student needs credit in science, social studies, English, math, or a foreign language, an online education program will have them available. These online high school education classes also allow the student to learn at their own pace. If the student is working during the day, they can access their classes in the evening. The fact is online education makes it easy and convenient for the student.

    When helping your loved one to choose an online high school education program, you’ll want to make sure it is accredited. This means the school has been officially recognized as a qualified education program and your student will receive a quality education from it. You’ll also want to make sure that your loved one has all the details and understands how the program works. You don’t want them to feel frustrated again and quit halfway through their program. Providing all the details up front is important.

    If your loved one has not received their high school education, provide them with the opportunity and support they made to finish out their high school education. It may be they are simply too scared or lacking the confidence to continue. When you give them the encouragement, they will thank you for it and greatly appreciate all of the support you gave them.
