Answers
Answer:
The slogan - "Each 1 Teach 1 " is a motivation for the educated class to understand their moral and social responsibility to teach at least one illiterate person, makes a big difference in society.
Our society is influential enough to decide our satisfaction for life. The way we perceive this makes us feel low or high. Not all individuals in our society are equally privileged.
Government policies and laws can promise many rights to disadvantaged children and make attempts to eliminate or reduce disparities, but it is a fact that many children are deprived of the right to education
If we want children of all classes, even from poor families, to be literate and aware of their basic health and hygiene and to grow up as educated citizens, we must move forward on their behalf. It is our social responsibility to share our wealth of knowledge and learning with the least privileged section of society.
We could argue that there are NGOs, semi-governmental organizations and many non-profit organizations dedicated to this end.
However, it is true that the educated mass of society that includes students, educated homemakers, professionals and students can play a vital role in the education of disadvantaged children. The contribution of each individual can bring a significant positive change in the current state of illiteracy.
The collective power of each contribution of the insignificant acts of each individual is immense and can help fill the gaps in the education provided by the formal schools. Most disadvantaged children miss school education or attend schools where teachers are under-trained. They are mostly constrained by the finances of low-income households who can hardly earn their bread and shelter. The children of rickshawalas , workers, maids and other groups in society who do not have access to quality education can benefit if we are ready to educate them.
