Drop outs from school

80 million kids drop out without completing basic schooling:UNICEF

" THEY QUIT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LEARNING ANYTHING IN SCHOOL"

Now intellectual have also given his statistics in this regard.

On the one hand we talk about Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 and on the other hand costly institution of primary and secondary education are being encouraged to mint profit by private bodies which is the basic cause of deterioration of quality education and the other is good salary of teachers in Govt. School and so substandard teachers are manipulating their entry in such school by using the technology of corruption on the table /under the table and /or linkages. Overall child education has become a big Industry and the most beneficiary wing is publishing Industry and coaching Insttutions organized as well as unorganised. 

Our intellectuals are more concerned with the data rather giving policy package and implementation process to overcome the problem. If our intellectuals had been concerned with the future of children this situation could not arise. They did not make an alarm at the right time when the Education policy were being hijacked by Business Class cum politicians. The situation is worsened in the villages as I observed spending a couple of months in the villages of Jabalpur district,MP. The compulsory promotion to the next class without giving proper learning to a child is a slow poison, salt in the roots of a growing plant.

The publications of such articles and books will not solve he purpose. Electoral Reforms and then Reform in Recruitment system of teachers i.e. Education Reforms can save our country.

The whole thing is that the desire of undue advantage has become our moral.

Corrupt practices are very much available in our Educational Institutions also. People may start to do study corrupt practices running at their work place at the first instance instead of criticising others and try to overcome it up to maximum possible extent and then tend towards the dream of zero level. This will certainly develop our society. The Social backwardness and poverty could be removed and bring the harmony among the communities.
