The quality in primary education

depleting day by day:

In the graph we can see that how the students of class v not solving simple division. It is not just the condition of class five but of all the students of primary classes.

Education is the basic need of the society in

which primary education serves as a very

crucial role as it will build a strong pillar for

higher education.

For the development of a country,

education is the most necessary at

least at primary level. As today

students are studying just for getting

marks which results in the quality

depletion of the students.

There is an Unawareness in rural areas about

education

There are untrained teachers who are not

capable to meet the demands of primary

education as a result they are not taking their

classes i.e. Only the know how to take salary.

The authorities who have been given

responsibility to spend funds to enhance

quality of education,infrastructure etc. Are not

utilising their funds.

There is still an outdated curriculum of study is

going on in primary/higher education i.e. There

is a lack in enhancing practical skills,computer

education etc.

No emphasis is given on innovative

thinking,extra co-curricular activities like

projects,aptitude building etc to enhance the

holistic growth of students .

there is an irregularity of

students & teachers in govt.

inappropriate teachers in govt.

Proposed solution

PRACTICAL SKILLS

where student will learn from video based learning.

Picture oriented books should be given to childrens.

CURRICULUM

The unwanted syllabus should be eliminated first.

Oral test can be implemented twice in a week.

Grading system should be implemented for stree free environment.

TEACHERS TRAINING

There should be a good training schools facilities for teachers and care should be

given to those schools.

Less job security should be given to teachers and they should know atleast

COMPUTER EDUCATION,CURRENT AFFAIRS

Knowledge about current affairs should be given to students and also study

should be given in english only.

funding this volunteer driven concept

in primary education.

defense personal doesn’t show

interest to be volunteer.

awareness of guardians.

THE VIABILITY OF THIS CONCEPT CAN BE CHECKED BY

LAUNCHING IT IN 20 DISTRICTS AS PILOT PROJECT.
