Expansion of primary education to the full extent within 5 years needs to be a national target. I have been
proposing to re-invoke the practice of taking a bond at the time of graduate admission (as was done in mid-
1960s but rarely implemented in terms of assignments)that student will not leave the country for two years
after graduation and s/he will devote minimum two years towards national services in any sector especially
primary education, the graduate will be provided free food and residence by the village/city people and
State will pay something like Rs 1000 pm towards personal expenses.

I am certain within 10 years we will have 100 literacy rate and all children are in primary school though a
few graduates may be at disadvantage, but necessary in the larger interests of nation. Will the dream be a
realization?

education by 2015. That goal may be extended to 2030, in which case the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, or
UIS, predicts we will need 27.3 million teachers – a shortage of crisis proportions.

The most obvious response is to suggest we train more teachers. However, that ignores the very real fact
that teaching has a high attrition rate. UIS estimates indicate that attrition accounts for 65% (2.6
million) of the 2015 gap, and 87.5% (23Whether the dream.9 million) of the 2030 gap.

These projected deficits indicate a need for a separate global goal to reduce teacher attrition.

Without addressing this major driver of the teacher shortage, millions of children across the globe will
miss out on acquiring literacy skills. They will also be less likely to have healthy children, to find well-
paid work, challenge cultural prejudices, become active citizens and propel their communities and countries
towards better futures.Educate, Empower, ElevateProf. Bholanath DuttaFounder, Convener &
