The ground reality. This is not only in this case, but innumerable cases are
traced in several other sectors too like dam constructions, railway improvement,
subsidy, etc.and not for social welfare. Our mind set: the national/state schemes
are for generating black money, see the recent cases Rs 90 lacs bribe for
promotion in railway, an Asst. Engineer has property more than 80 crore, over 50%
MPs and MLAs are crorepati, etc.
Jai Ho!

Governments are doing nothing to upgrade their own infrastructure and quality of
teachers. All the so-called money spent on mid-day meal or other heads converts
into black money. Private institutions are being forced to admit 25% students
under the scheme without any potential evaluation and without being paid the cost
of teaching such students, instead they are being coerced into doling out all the
services free of cost instead of only tuition fee as specified in the act. On top
of all that no student can be failed and the end result is a student who has been
around for three years in the private school under the scheme, cannot even read
and right alphabets. We can forget about any meaningful education till it is in
the hands of corrupt, inefficient and arrogant politicians, bureaucrats and so
called pseudo intellectuals and socialists acting as education
experts.RegardsVirendra GoelFrom: join_mtc@googlegroups.com

Subject: [MTC Global] INDIA'S RURAL EDUCATION - AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BOP
STARTUPSEducation in rural India is plagued by many problems. Poor infrastructure,
access difficulties, lack of financial support and poor quality of educators are a
few of the most pressing of problems. The state and central governmentis trying to
tackle these issues by pumping almost INR 310 billion(approx. USD 5.7 billion)
into improving school infrastructure and recruiting teachers. There is also the
Right To Education act enshrining the rights of all children to free and
compulsory education. Quality mid-day meals are also attracting students and
giving them the fuel they need for learning. These and other initiatives have over
the past four years led to the increased enrolment and attendance levels in
schools. (97% and 71% respectively, according to theASER 2012 report).The big
question, however, is whether enrolment and attendance are the right barometer for
evaluating the progress of rural Indian education.In the mad search for numbers,
has quality been ignored?The Poverty Effect: Secondly, families in rural India
struggle to make ends meet. Their low income is hardly enough to cover daily
supplies of food and shelter let alone education.
Children are needed to work in fields, which eventually means that they drop out
of school, usually after their primary education. Areport by UNICEFestimates that
there is a 40-percentage point difference in attendance rate between primary
(69.4%) and secondary (39.1%) students coming from poor families. Also, more
children in the age group of 5-14, whose parents are not educated seem to be
opting to go for work instead of staying in school (UNICEF report 2011).Clearly
financial stability and awareness of the opportunities provided via a good
education are big factor in ensuring continued education in these
families.Opportunities. The opportunities for improving rural education are
endless. Governments must do their part, but NGOs and private-sector companies
will play a vital part as well.Educate, Empower, ElevateProf. Bholanath
