What are the steps taken by the government to improve education in india?
Answers
Indian Government is trying their best to improve the literacy level in the country and they have taken many necessary steps in recent times to improve the over all education system in both city and rural areas. It is true that in recent years they have been able to bring more and more students in the arena of education. However, still four of ten Indian people are illiterate according to a report of UNESCO.
Free Education:
Free education system is more and more spread by the Government in various areas of India especially in the rural territories. Poverty is one of the main hindrances for a lot of parents in both city and village to send their children to schools. So the government is trying to provide the primary right of proper education to the students free of cost in various areas and it has become successful. In many areas more and more students are coming to schools for study. However, Government has to reach more rural areas to bring more students to schools.
Establishing new schools:
Few decades ago, lack of schools was a huge problem especially in rural areas. Study in a private school is much more expensive and often the poor students can not avail this facility. The students had to go miles after miles to reach their schools which created a lot of problems. However, in recent years Government has established more and more schools in various rural areas and the problem is solved to a great extent. However, there is still many a village where the schools are far away. Many a students especially the girls face safety problems while going to these schools. Therefore, the Government needs to take necessary steps on that to bring more girl students into school.
