Factors for exclusion on prominent groups of children who are at risk for exclusion from education system
Exclusion from education is quite a grim problem in India. The problem is very serious in rural, backward areas. The problem is worst in the Government run schools.
Exclusion from education can be defined as forced or voluntary deprivation of the facilities or opportunities to education. It can be of various types such as outer exclusion and inner exclusion. Outer exclusion can be not being able to enroll oneself in a school owing to poverty, illness, poor health, backwardness, and any other outer reason.
Inner exclusion includes exclusion from education while being a part of it. For example this exclusion happens inside the classroom. It can be due to discrimination, ill-treatment, no classes, boring and passive teaching and learning environment, etc. These conditions cause dropouts and absenteeism.
It has been found that the percentage of outer exclusion is far less than that of the inner exclusion. In order to tackle inner exclusion, the class activities and teaching methodology and quality of teachers and teachings need to be looked into and improved. The teaching should not only be systematic and scientific, but interesting and absorbing also.
The Government must work on the grey areas and factors responsible for both types of exclusions. Providing quality infrastructure in each and every nook, efficient teachers- training programmes, timely inspection of the schools along with regular upgradation of the education system should be done.
I think I can write few lines on this topic because we run a school for socially deprived people.
The school I am talking about began for children who would beg in the railway station, and then they will return to slums.
These children never understood the value of education because no-one ever tried explaining them.
We went to their homes and convinced their parents to send their children to study instead of letting them beg.
The only way these children can be brought to the school is when someone helps them understand the value of education. That’s the first step on how we can include these groups.
