The cry of the public class is heard in the United States and in many parts of the world.

All these factors are likely to seek efficiency in practice, the possibility of individual student progress over time, assessing the quality of teaching is different socio-economic Lage.Darüber beyond any intellectual discussion of statistics and the accuracy and effectiveness of using methods that are essential to secure all forms of assessment, the experts agreed that whatever the methods used for decades to come, they must provide quick results. The children are not destined to languish, while the test results of adults, that periods are too long to decode or read mainstream application in educational practice. Accommodate and interactive tests that the teacher provides direct access to the end “before” test results, which can be observed in practice in countries like New Zealand, the compromise is seeking results quickly and effectively in the hands of those most able to ensure that No Child Left Behind. “

On the one side Indians are considered as the proud owner of glorious education system in the past and on the other side we the same Indian are considered as one of the nations with poorest education structure in the world -with millions of illiterates in the country- even poorer than the countries those stands nowhere near us in the development in the last few years. On the other hand various other countries are amazed by the quality of the human resources that the Indian education system has produced. There was a time when India’s education system was considered as the best in the world and followed and adored by renowned scholars from every part of the world. But with the time this glorious system lost its luster and a time came when it hit its lowest ebb. There may be varied reasons behind this continued and long decline in the quality of education system in India. One of the prominent reasons was the social structure of the Indian society. Like Women and people of lower castes were not considered good enough to be educated thus denied the right to educate themselves and this continued for centuries altogether till eighteenth century. It was only in the middle of the eighteenth century with the spread of Jainism, Buddhism, Bhakti and Sufi movements did some liberating effects on the condition of the women and lower caste people known as sudra started to appears. But in the real sense it was the English language and the reformation movements of the 19th century that had the most liberating effect in pre-independent India. Although there was no real change in the education system or level of education in the India but certainly there started a thought process to check this menace of illiteracy. So it is the Britishers that can be credited for bringing a revolution in the Indian education system.

Education scenario in the post independence India

According to the constitution of Indian Republic Education falls under the control of both the central government and the states, with some responsibilities lying with the centre and the state having autonomy for other.At the time of independence the Government of India was dealing with so many critical issues like union of states to mother land, peace in the troubled area, poverty and increasing population and shattered economic condition. In all this chaos government of India give priority to the development of the education as this was seen as one of the main cause of the some other evils of the society. Main impediment in this was considered to be indiscrimination in the society on the basis of caste and creed. So to remove this evil strict laws were made and implemented. Special emphasis was started to be given to girl children education. So many schemes were started so that there will not be any discrimination as far as imparting education to the girl child is concerned.

With the 86th constitutional amendment Indian Government has made elementary education a fundamental right for the children of the age group- 6 to 14.

According to the 2001 census, the total literacy rate in India is 65.38%. The female literacy rate is only 54.16%. The gap between rural and urban literacy rate is also very significant in India. This is evident from the fact that only 59% of rural population is literate as against 80% (approx) urban population according to the 2001 census.

Present Scenario of Education in India

Education is being given utmost priority by both the state and Centre government of the country in the present past. Every effort is being done to organize the education system in India to tackle all ready grown up illiteracy rate of the Indian population for this the central government of India formulated the National Policy in Education (NPE) in 1986 and also re-enforced the Programme of Action (POA) in 1986. The central government initiated several measures like setting up of Navodaya Vidyalaya selective schools in every district, advances in female education, inter-disciplinary research and establishment of open universities. India’s NPE also contains the National System of Education, which ensures some uniformity while taking into account regional education needs. The NPE also stresses on higher spending on education, envisaging a budget of more than 6% of the overall national budget.

The present educational system in India is mainly divided into the following few categories according to the level of the education.

1. Primary education, -Eight years of the elementary education
2. Secondary education –Two years of education
3. Senior secondary education-Two years of education
4. Higher education – Depending upon the stream starting from 3 can extend upto 5 yrs.

Primary education

This is the first step of the ladder of education in the education system of India. The Indian government lays much emphasis on the foundation of education ie. Primary education up to the age of fourteen years. Besides putting a ban on child labor in order to ensure that the children do not enter unsafe working conditions. To universalize primary education District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) was launched in 1994 founded by central and state governments in 85% -15%of The DPEP with the support of UNICEF has opened approx 1,60,000 new schools delivering alternative education to approximately 3.5 million children. Significant improvement in staffing and enrollment of girls has been made as a part of this scheme. In spite of all these efforts overall primary school conditions in India as a whole continued to remain lag behind internationally due to understaffing coupled with lack of developed infrastructure and sufficient financing.

Secondary education

The National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986, has provided for environment awareness, science and technology education, and introduction of traditional elements such as meditation and yoga into the Indian secondary school system. Another feature of India’s secondary school system is its emphasis on profession based vocational training to help students attain skills for finding a vocation of his/her choosing.

A special Integrated Education for Disabled Children (IEDC) programme was started in 1974. The Kendriya Vidyalaya project was started for the benefits of the children of the employees of the central government of India, who are distributed throughout the country.

Tertiary education

Well organized main governing body at the tertiary level is the University Grants Commission (India)

Third largest in the world
20 central universities
215 state universities
100 deemed universities
5 institutions established and functioning under the State Act
16000 colleges, including 1800 exclusive women’s colleges
1200 engineering colleges
with an estimated 30000 graduates employed in the United States as of 2006
7 Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), have been globally acclaimed for their standard of education.

This number will soon inflate as the setting up of 30 more central universities, 8 new IITs, 7 IIMs and 5 new Indian Institutes of Science are now proposed.

Above data is just the one side of the coin showing only the rosy picture of the state of affairs in the tertiary education system of India but the truth lies in the fact that our university system is still in the state of despair as more then 90 percent of our higher educational institutions are considered to be below par on the quality scale. The internal system of the universities system is marred with the political, caste and communal considerations on the cost of education of the students. And this truth is applicable on all the institution baring a few like IIT’s and IIM’s who are able to sustain their sanctity and established them self on the world map as one of the best. But the overall scenario cannot be considered rosy as it appears from the numbers given above.

Education for the Marginalized in India:

In order to reduce the gap caused by the earlier socio-economic condition prevailing in the Indian society the government of India took some measures. These measures are being taken to just reduce the disparities in the various sections of the Indian society so that we can progress as a whole rather then different factions of the same society. This is being done as education is considered to be a means for bringing socio- economic transformation in a society, various measures are being taken to enhance the access of education to the marginalized sections of the society. One such measure is the introduction of the reservation system in the institutes of higher education. Under the present law, 7.5% seats in the higher educational institutes are reserved for the scheduled tribes, 15% for scheduled castes and 27% for the non creamy layers of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). Under the Indian constitution, various minority groups can also set up their own educational institutes. Efforts are also being taken to improve the access to higher education among the women of India by setting up various educational institutes exclusively for them or reserving seats in the already existing institutes. The growing acceptance of distance learning courses and expansion of the Open University system is also contributing a lot in the democratization of higher education in India.

Conclusion:

Taking other co-related social problems in view like poverty, the ever increasing population, old traditional values etc to find any conclusion on the progress of the Independent India on the education front as a hole appears to be a mounting task. But if we take the progress on this front of other countries like china having similar problems and hurdles as we are facing we can conclude that despite all the efforts to develop the education system in India, access, quality of education in India continue to haunt the policy makers till this date. This may mainly been due to the widespread poverty and various prejudices. But this is not the only cause of the shamble in the education system after so many efforts. This mystery has to be unrevealed by the policy makers by their sincere efforts to achieve this goal of education for all. However, the renewed emphasis in the education sector in the 11th five year plan and increased expenditure in both primary and higher education can act as a catalyst for the Indian education system.

Know your rights, Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, India

Have you left your children to basic education in India? Have you assessed the “law on the right of children to free and compulsory education and the right to education”, which came into force on 1 April 2010 in India? The law on the right to education is the first law in the world that puts the responsibility to ensure the enrollment, attendance and completion of basic education for children aged between 6 and 14 on the government. It is the responsibility of parents to send their children to school for basic education in the U.S. If not, how you will follow the legal course to solve problems arising from the “law on the right of children to free and compulsory education and the right to education”? Very few countries are serious about promoting right to basic education for their children and help their jurisdiction, if it did not protect the rights of children to education. Do you know why many poor children do not use the free education available since independence in India? Do you know why the number of poor children could not get a quality education? You know, all these issues have been corrected by accepting reimbursement for private school quality education for children? Being a student of the Post-Graduate Diploma in Human Rights, have attempted to summarize what is “The Law of children to free and compulsory education and the right to education in India”? On December 10, 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in India and since he has accepted. Under Article 26 rights, children have the right to education. Education shall be free, at least at the base. Constitution of India also offers free education to children. The quality of education provided to children by public schools in India is still in question. Many Muslim children resist distant schools for education. The education of children in public schools remained riddled with absenteeism and poor management and appointments based on political expediency. Despite the lure of free food served in public schools, children prefer private schools for education. Poor children do not go to private schools for education and the high cost structure and education in local languages has been denied. Many poor children have been examining a fraud on their right to education. There is no free education or quality education. The kids know the highlights of the Act the right to education? Child’s Right to Education Act made education a fundamental right for all children aged 6 and 14 and specifies the minimum quality of education in public schools. It requires all private schools for basic education to reserve seats by 25% for children of poor parents (to be reimbursed by the State under the terms of public-private partnership). Child’s Right to Education Act also provides that no child shall be detained, expelled, or required to pass a State Council until the completion of basic education. There is also a provision of children’s right to education for the right to special training for school leavers to make them equal with students of similar age. Child’s Right to Education Act requires that investigations that will monitor all districts to identify children who need education, and establish facilities to provide it. Specialist education of children should be involved. “The law on children’s right to free and compulsory education and the right to education” is the first law in the world that puts the responsibility to ensure the enrollment, attendance and completion of government. It is the responsibility of parents to send their children to school in the most developed countries. The right of disabled children up to age 18 has also been made a fundamental right. A number of other provisions concerning the improvement of school infrastructure, teacher-student ratio and teachers are made to the law. State Children’s right to education Act provides a special organization, the National Council for the Protection of the Rights of the Child, an independent body to monitor the implementation of the law, and commissions to be established. Have you tried to find the right of children to the law of education? Have you ever tried to know that the right to basic education for children is covered your rights universal? Have you ever tried to know why poor children are denied education? I demand to know and support the right of children to free and compulsory education in the world?
