There are many serious concerns in the elementary education

Kids carrying heavy bag full of books and notebooks is not a new sight among Indian children who are attending elementary school.

Flip over the pages of these books and you’ll find absence of basic education. The elementary school curriculum has been limited to memorization of text or acquisition of reading and writing skills also overloaded curriculum that’s destroying the purpose of elementary education.

In such scenario moral education is missing from the school and we are churning out uncivilized literates. Basic education should be completed in schools itself with emphasis on moral values without arduous homework. A focus on moral education isn’t about adding another commitment to already overloaded curriculum. In fact, the framework of moral education advances educational objectives to deal not only with present challenges, inculcating good character traits but also take into account the well-being of future generations.

Answer 2

-One of the major issues affecting elementary education in india is lack of enough teachers. The government should intervene by employing more of them to fill the gap

-Shortage of funds also has a bearing on the learning as learning materials are not adequate in most schools

- The number of schools is also not adequate to cater for the large number of students and thus more should be built.
