Sir,
We cannot but agree that, it is education that leads to the road to betterment of a community and the nation at large. And when we think about bringing reformation in education, we have to point out, what all prevents the education system in India to develop. Let’s start it with rural education.
Lack of proper transportation. Most villages have poor connectivity from one place to another and that is one of the main reasons why, the efforts made by local governing bodies to build schools, often go in vain. Children, most of the time have to walk miles to reach these Government funded schools and this often dissuades them to attend school on a regular basis.
People belonging to remote rural areas have meager incomes, which at times is too less to sustain a family of may be four or five. Most likely, children from these families won’t be sent to schools, instead would be asked to assist the earning member of the family to earn some extra income. On the other hand, teachers in rural educational centers are paid poorly, often leading to lack of attention by teachers, ultimately students suffer.
Lack of proper infrastructure at these rural schools is also a big concern. Most of the schools don’t have proper classrooms, teaching equipment, playgrounds and even basic facilities like clean toilets. Thus, the poor condition of schools is a big reason to drive away students.
Education imparted in rural centers lack in quality and it’s high time, proper attention is paid to these centers and create a platform where students from rural areas can get proper education, the right encouragement to pursue further studies and jobs. Proper availability of basic facilities like clean toilets, drinking water, adequate classroom facilities, timely motivational programs for teachers etc should be there. The right reformation can definitely bring about a positive change towards the development of rural education in India.
Yours etc….
