Answer 2

Answer:

11) Equipment’s and Ancillary Services:

Most of the primary schools are ill-equipped. Text books and other educational equipment’s should be supplied free of cost in the beginning of the academic session. Delay defeats the purpose. A separate distribution cell should be set up. Research for the qualitative production of text books and other reading materials is highly needed.

The absence of ancillary services like school meal and school health en­courages drop-out. One of the main causes of wastage in primary education is the poverty of the parents. This is especially true in the cases of the poorest and most backward classes.

Hence children of these classes should be pro­vided with free mid-day meals and health facilities as incentive. Steps should be taken to provide adequate co-curricular activities in lower and up­per primary schools.

12) Parental Education:

The average parents in India are indifferent or apathetic to the education of their children. This is discouraging to the idea of universality of elementary education. Even today many parents nourish the traditional belief in the uselessness of education of girls. This conservative attitude should be changed through popular or parental education. It is needed to remove the age-long apathy and conservative outlook of the parents.
