Less than half of India’s children between the age 6 and 14 go to school. A little over one-third of all children who enroll in grade one reach grade eight. At least 35 million children aged 6 – 14 years do not attend school. 53% of girls in the age group of 5 to 9 years are illiterate.
Pre-primary education gives children a solid foundation upon which all learning depends on, making every stage of education that follows more efficient and more productive. All children have the right to go to school and learn, regardless of who they are, where they live or how much money their family has. Quality learning requires a safe, friendly environment, qualified and motivated teachers, and instruction in languages students can understand.
Kids from the street and slums are often neglected by family members. Due to this, they can experience traumatic physical, mental, and sexual abuse, neglect, violence, and exploitation. Proper counseling and basic education are required to move them to a proper life. Education can only change our society. Our goal is to educate every child with basic education and school dropout students need to join school again.
Those are the main problems faced in the progress of education:
- Lack of funds: The lack of sufficient funds is the main problem in the development of education.
- Mass illiteracy: In India, the number of illiterates is almost one-third of the total illiterates in the world. So most of the family don’t know the value of education for their next generation.
- Dropout: Our education system is based on General Education. The dropout rate is very high at the primary and secondary levels.
- Primary education: A large number of primary schools have no buildings what to talk of basic facilities like drinking water, urinals, and electricity, furniture and study materials, etc. Sometimes a single teacher maintains all the things.
- Expensive higher education: University, professional and technical education has become costly in India.
If we solve those points step by step then we can increase the percentage of child education and build the healthy society.
