New Hope With The Right To Education And Some Suggestions For Better Implementation
With the RTE coming into effect, a new horizon of endless opportunities to achieve the goal of ensuring 100% primary education for all children in India has opened up. This act makes it mandatory for all the schools (Private schools in its ambit too) to provide free elementary education to the poor living in remote areas. The schools in that area will ensure transportation for the poor along with the other requirements. This will really have an impact on the increase in the literacy rate in India.
Even after 70 years independence, a majority of population in India is not able to enjoy the best of facilities. In some areas the poverty problem is quite grim. This RTE will work as a positive force in breaking the vicious circle in which millions of Indians are trapped. The RTE has brought a new hope for our country. Let’s hope its implementation gets honestly done!
The days are not far when India will be placed on par with the other advanced countries. More importantly, education will improve the quality of skilled manpower in India. And soon the skilled people of India will eliminate all the existing problems in our country.
However, in spite of the passing of the Act, its implementation throughout India is quite poor. Laws are seldom respected in India. The Indian Government should make a task force to ensure it is followed and implemented in true spirit. All the schools must submit the data related to the implementation of the RTE Act. Those schools that fail to implement, their affiliation should to be withdrawn until they abide by the law.
The Government in association with NGOs should work in this regard for its successful implementation.
