  NATION BUILDING: THEOBSTACLES The Lack of quality education is the reason behind the improper primary education in India. In states like Bihar, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, 60 per cent or more girls dropped out before completing their five years primary education. FAST FACTS Teachers- currently the national average is about 1 teacher to every 34 students, but in states such as Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal 1 teacher works with more than 60 students. Overpopulation- The increase in population has resulted in increase in child labour which forces children to drop out from school. Illiterate society- Illiterate parents do not recognise the importance of primary education of children. They do not enrol their children in schools and rather ask them to earn money for family. Share of Girls in Enrolment- the intake rate of girls in school is far below than boys because they are made to learn household chores. Quality of education - the curriculum made by govt. Of India is inappropriate . It emphasises on theory study than practical part. Ratio Of Students in Different levels

  EDUCATION FOR ALL:ASPIRE TO EXCEL Education is not just transmission of knowledge and information to learner but this transmission must influence the young minds to realise their inner self. The Indian education system is perhaps the largest system in the world catering the need of more than 190 million students of different socio-economic background in pre-primary to primary, upper primary, secondary and higher secondary to college and university level. A few schools still do not have school buildings and other teaching-learning facilities. The Govt. Still does not recognise the need of primary education in India. It has excluded the children with physical or mental disability from its circular. The schools are used for election polls and the teachers even during school hours becomes a Government’s agent in order to earn extra money. Building Skills through complete education is the responsibility of every teacher towards students The Main point of focus must be to enhance the quality of education than increase the enrolments.

  FUTURE OF INDIA Developideas The Child can develop Ideas and Tackle the problems successfully if the Teachers make use of interactive classes.

Primary education would provide hope for these kids and their nations through reduced poverty, increased productivity and lower infant mortality,

  CHALLENGES • In India,at this point in time, exists in two different worlds. One is private school which has made itself brand in the market and the other is the government schools which does not allow any facilties to its students • Low Learning trap: the curriculum and the textbooks are not up to the level of the children . The students get left behind and stay behind forever. • Low Teacher Motivation: In 2008-2009, on average, 45% of these teachers had not studied beyond the 12th grade. The remuneration offered to the teachers in rural areas is not adequate. • Flawed Teaching Methodology: Indian teaching methods have not been modified since a long time. Teachers have changed but their thoughts have not. For example, many students in grades two and three in one particular school struggle to read individual words, but can neatly copy entire paragraphs from their textbooks into their notebooks as though they were drawing pictures. • Linguistic Diversity: When teachers themselves know little English, especially spoken English, how will students learn? Students with rural primary schooling are at a significant disadvantage as they transition to higher education, because India's best universities teach exclusively in English. • About 3.5 crore children have not enrolled in school • About 39% of primary and 54.6% of upper primary students drop out of school • Quality of education is poor because of high student-teacher ratio – national average of 46.1 with some states as high as 68 (Rajasthan) • Gender Parity Index, at 0.77, is low for upper primary education (grades 6- 8), while it is marginally better, at 0.83, for primary education (grades 1-5) • A large digital divide exists, and is growing, between students in affluent private schools and other students

  Governmental Efforts • TheIndian government at every level recognizes the need for educational reform and has made a conscientious effort to achieve it. • The midday-meal plan, for example, is a highly publicized nationwide program through which government school children across India are provided with a midday meal every day of the school week. The program is largely considered a success.A study in 2011 by Rajshri Jayaraman and Dora Simroth found that grade one enrollment increased by 20.8% simply if a midday meal was offered. • According to Behar, "The Indian government has worked very hard to provide rural schools with adequate infrastructure, something that was critically lacking a few decades ago." For instance, DISE reported in 2012 that more than 91% of primary schools have drinking-water facilities and 86% of schools built in the last 10 years have a school building. However, there is still a long way to go: Only 52% of primary schools have a girls' toilet, and just 32% are connected to the electricity grid. • In 2012, the Central Government enacted the Right to Education (RTE) Act, under which every child between the ages of six and 14 receives a free and compulsory education. In addition to regulating access to education, the act contains certain provisions that could positively impact the quality of education.According to Jhingran, one of its major achievements has been "the dramatic reduction of non-teaching duties assigned to government school teachers, freeing up valuable time and lowering absenteeism."
