India produces 74% of literate every year but our youth still can’t even read or write properly…!! Big Question..??

• Acc. to Indian government figures 2012-

total 5,816,673 elementary school

teachers in India and 2,127,000

secondary school teachers in India.

• Student enrollment in rural India seen a

rise (96.7%) in 2011, but parallel

decline in students basic reading ,

arithmetic and academic levels.

• The added burden of home chores and

child labour influence a large number

of children, especially girls, to drop out of

school.

• Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and

Goa have more than 60% of private

enrollment in primary schools. Andhra,

Maharashtra and Karnataka are at 40

percent, while UP is at 50% means

continuous decline in quality of primary

level.

CAUSES Schemes implemented PRESENT SCENARIO

• Malnutrition, hunger and poor

health are core problems, which

majorily affect attendance and

performance in classes.

• Lack of trained teachers is a major

challenge in many states of India, where

institutions for teacher education are not

widely present. Schools are therefore

forced to hire less qualified teachers

• National Policy on Education

• Strengthening of teachers training

institute

• Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)

• Mid Day Meal

Vast difference between southern and northern states primary education status.

In 2008, only about 50% of Standard 3 students could read a Standard 1 text, by 2012, it declined to 30%. About 50 % of the Std 3 kids can’t even correctly recognize digits up to 100.

Not only that the country is unable to improve the learning skills of half its primary school children, in the last four years, it has fallen to alarming lows.

This decrease has certainly proved a major cause for dropout

due to their financial problem.

Invasion of private schools into primary education has

proved the falling level of quality.

Truth Behind Stats…!!

Salient features :

Involving the biggest power of nation “youth” in creating an important breakthrough.

Community services should be made mandatory for every undergraduate course for certain hours.

Each individual will go in primary school for teaching on regular basis as their practical hour in a year.

This service will be considered as a major grading subject for students.

A centrally recognized certification will be provided which will be given a weightage in government services.

A independent body will be made for the regulation of services and performance of students on half yearly basis.

Community Services by Undergraduates & voluntary people

Students to impart education on regular basis in primary schools.

Firstly, A core committee named NTS will be formed centrally and regional offices will look after the processing at local level.

Students will be sent at local primary schools to teach as a part of their practical hours present in their curriculum.

A stipned as a lucrative measure can also be added into the scheme.

A student has to complete certain hours of teaching in each semester.

Final marks and certification will be presented on completion of each semester.

No shortage of teachers in primary schools.

Quality teaching will be provided.

New ways of teaching & ideas will enhance attraction of children towards education.

Untrained youth will get experience and develop skills on their part.

This upcoming undergraduate youth will never finish so there will be continuous flow .

More cheaper and beneficial than current existing system.

Students will be attracted towards teaching sector as a proper career.

Team of undergraduate students

All state boards should be refined and compiled for same mode of education.

Continuous updation of syllabus will be done on yearly meeting and progress.

There are 1652 languages in india and at primary level 24 different languages are taught in different regions .

Transferring of different regional teachers will be easy and affordable.

“ One Medium For One Nation Policy’’ will be adopted.

Under this policy, improvement in higher education will also be the hidden goal since migration from one board to another creates an understanding problem.

Each state board should strictly follow a centrally recognized curriculum.

This national curriculum adoption will gain major importance at higher education level also.
