Primary Schools in India

India being a vast country both in terms of area and population and several complex diversities which pose a threat for a uniform pattern of education. The Indian governments are committed to delivering basic education to all its children, a policy that is being implemented much effectively when compared to the pre independence and early post independence periods. The country was divided on the basis of caste, religion and class considerably. There has been a considerable change in the situation now with more and more people getting educated and their outlook towards life having changed. Disparities still exist and they have to be wiped off completely. But we are slowly and steadily inching towards it.

Keeping in mind UNICEF’s commitment that ‘every girl and every boy completes a quality, primary-school education’, the authorities from time to time have introduced measures to try and help give all the children primary education. Several legislations have been passed for abolishing child labor and get them into schools where in a lot of cases, especially rural areas free education with provision for food is given. Efforts have been made to do away with caste biases and bring the children from the harijan families and other backward classes to the fore front. It is impossible to change the mindset of a society completely but the process is being done gradually.

Most of the cities and urban areas have more or less achieved this target of ensuring primary school education to all children, but more work has to be done in rural areas with regard to this. There is also a lack of proper infrastructure in a lot of rural areas be it with regards to the building or staff. Where there has been a huge amount of progress in this field ever since independence, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Several programmes have been put forward by governments from time for the proper implementation of primary education. It includes District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) in 1992, the Minimum Levels of Learning (MLL) initiative and more recently the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (or the National Programme for Universal Elementary Education).

The development of primary schools in India differ from place to place. Some states in India like Kerala, Tamilnadu stand in the forefront where as states like Bihar remains largely underdeveloped in this aspect. The northeast states also fall short of proper implementation of primary education policies.

With sincere and continuous efforts by governments, NGOs and other communities, India’s primary schools are gaining a lot of momentum. Such basic facilities like drinking water facilities, toilet facilities, proper classrooms and qualified staff are being emphasized on. In the urban areas constant innovations are carried out in teaching methods and subjects so as to improve the quality of education.
