A new hope was allocated to the people around
three years ago on April 1, 2010. A whopping auspicious belief was made accommodated
to the people of India that now Education is going to soar here and every child
would be imparted education. This hope was equipped to the people by the Right to
Education Act. This was a historic day for the people of
India as from this day the right to education will be accorded the same legal
status as the right to life as provided by Article 21A of the Indian
Constitution. Every child in the age group of 6-14 years will be provided 8
years of elementary education in an age appropriate classroom in the vicinity
of his/her neighborhood.
But the truth is sometimes
very bitter and being candidly I can assure you that the truth is not bitter
here as it is very very much bitter here. And the authentic fact is that
overall RTE (Right to Education) has failed its exam very badly and shamefully
and till now has been a farce.
Annual Status of Education
Report (ASER) blatantly and vehemently screamed that the learning outcomes in
the government schools are unacceptably low. Education which is the most
important and crucial thing in a nation’s development has been snubbed by the
government and the administration has been evasive on this issue. The reticent
government just allocated 3.5% of GDP (Gross Development Product) contrary to
Kothari Commission headed by D.S. Kothari asked the government to roll out 6%
of the GDP for a steady and stable growth in the education sector.
The RTE act was made to
influence and mould the worsening education system in India which has been
stung upon by thousands of odds. RTE, although promised free education for
children upto 14 years of age, has not been able to tackle to problems of the
Education system. Even recently Supreme Court of India taking into cognizance
the deplorable as well as scandalous state of government schools in India cued
the state governments to rectify the system according to the RTE act. Eighteen (18)
states have filed affidavit that they are all following the RTE act strictly
but still the truth is appalling that the children still don’t get good
education and there is a black truth behind such things. The schemes which have
been commenced by the Government of India for the welfare of the nations’
students have not been implemented properly and have been assimilated by
corrupt and dirty officials and the money rolled out for people has been
obliterated for satisfying the needs of the sleazes and the scoundrels.
Situation in the country’s
government schools have been worse and the worse thing is Hindi-medium teaching.
When English is the official language of India so why are you teaching the
children Hindi in the schools? Why not provide the students of government
schools with good teachers who can help them cope with English as well as with
English Medium syllabus of those of the Private and public schools? Why the
government is not doing anything like this? Why not make the children of India
equal? The government should definitely do something like this but the
reluctance to do anything at the grass root level is really reprehensible.
We all should think and ponder
over it.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat
Jai Ma Bharati
