Answer:
As estimated by the Government of India, out of 200 million children from age group of 6 to 14, about 59 million don’t go to school. And from those who currently attend school, 4 out of every 10 children will drop out before they complete their primary school education.
Added to that, the quality of education received by these students is in poor condition. India is one of the countries which hasn’t solved the problem of illiteracy. As per to the National Census of 2011, the rate of literacy is 74.04%. When it comes to children, the effects of illiteracy multiply by ten folds.
Lack of education in parents also affect the way they take care of their children, which results in children becoming underprivileged. This is also one of the primary reasons why child labour is on rise. Therefore, it is our responsibility to take care of these issues so that these children will be able to have a better and a bright future since they decide the future of our country.
Answer:
Education is a powerful tool which empowers communities to turn around their lives. If any member of a family is educated, especially women, it can help coming generations to break the inter-generational cycles of poverty. Education is a great enabler – it makes people skilled and equips them to engage in meaningful professions and thus contribute to their own and society’s socio-economic well-being. In India, even today, millions of children go without any access to education. As many as 8.4 crore children in India continue to remain out of school. It’s a major social problem plaguing modern-day India and strong measures are needed to ensure the benefits of education touch everyone.
Over the years, Save the Children has emerged as a trusted Non Governmental Organization which has provided lakhs of disadvantaged children the access to quality and enabling education. The organization’s work has made it possible for gifted and hard working children to have access to opportunities they could not have imagined before. The NGO is closely aligned with the government’s vision for education, jobs and prosperity for all.
Spread awareness across different stakeholders
As aware and responsible citizens of the country, we need to ensure that businesses are sensitised towards the harms of child labour and they refrain from hiring children for work which will, in turn, discourage parents and children to choose money over education. The need of the hour is to make communities aware of their rights and proud of child’s education. Educated communities will not just create better citizens but also ensure better employment and enterprise.
