“How does your country help it’s children? How do
they feed them? How do they educate them?”
Education in India is mainly provided by the public sector, with control and funding
coming from three levels: federal (Indian Government), state (Union Government), and
local (smaller divided parts of the government).
Enrollment number is not available, because not even all people in India are registered.
Education in India is compulsory. However, India continues to face challenges. Despite
growing investment in education, 35% of its population is still illiterate; only 15% of
Indian students reach high school, and just 7% graduate.
Issues:
Funding and infrastructure (59% of the schools had no drinking water and 89% had no
toilets.)
Curriculum issues (unchecked school books),
Teacher shortage
New Indian law supporting education in it’s country.
National Common Minimum Program (NCMP) of the United Progressive Alliance
(UPA) government. The announcements are; (a) To progressively increase expenditure
on education to around 6 percent of GDP.
How can we harness the forces of change in this region to promote future human
development and well-being?
I researched online for several possibilities on how to solve this problem, but I couldn’t
find any solution which could assure potential and long lasting results. So, to elucidate
this complication, I found several possibilities which could finally lead to a better
outcome then today’s statistics. With a 100,000,000 budget you can’t accomplish
miracles since in our eyes this might seem a huge amount, but in a country as big as this
billions of dollars travel around every day. Here are the possibilities that I found which
could help this situation:
• Transportation, children in rural areas can’t find an educational area, so school buses
would be a solution.
• More books and more teachers will be attainable.
• Scholarships for those who have a lot of knowledge in social studies and can further
India's economy.
• And finally enlarging schools can help accommodate more students.
