Education is a process whereby we learn to act in a human, rather than infantile or animalistic fashion. Through this process we gain a cultural—as part of our personal—identity
Education is a life-long process of behavior modification taking place in and beyond schools. It should be growth-producing, should contribute to our ability to become human and good citizens, ought to prepare us to make a living and provide for ourselves and families. Public schools and curriculum cannot be planned or evaluated in isolation from economics and politics.
The challenges of education in developing countries are different from those in the more developed countries. Children in poorer countries may not have school fees, may need to work at a young age, teachers may be ill-prepared or lured into other work even during school hours, text books and school supplies may be scarce, and the government may be forced to attend to other priorities
In spite of the largest education system in the world, India still faces problems of low levels of literacy achievement and poor quality of education with 37 percent of the population lacking literacy skills; 53 percent of children dropping out at the elementary level and over 75 percent of rural schools being under staffed.
OUR PATH TO PROGRESS
Pre-Primary education is the basic and foremost right of every child. Its availability and provision is not only the responsibility of state but parents and households. Primary education brings awareness among the masses, opens avenues for opportunities as well self-advancement and improvement and reduces chronic and inter-generational poverty. As a first step in the creation of welfare and just society, universal primary education is an absolute pre-requisite for sustainable development.
Pre-Primary education usually starts at 4 years old started within this period of time, so that all students in the community to work as a class and how to deal with and obey the general understanding in society. Other than this discipline is the most important aspect is secondary in these initial experiences to strengthen vocational education in the former stream.
Yet basic education in developing countries like India is in crisis. 67% of children (aged between 6-10) go to school. There are so many reasons for children to miss school, but poverty is the main one. Parents cannot afford school fees, uniforms and books amount. Most of communities may not have enough resources to run a school .In most of urban rural areas, schools are at long distances which make children to avoid them and especially it makes impossible for girls. Also due to poverty families indulge their children in child labor to generate the income instead of spending on their education.
