Nilambur Grama Panchayat in Kerala stands out as a role model for lakhs of villages as it is the first village to achieve total primary education
• Severe shortage of teachers(many students under the guidance of one teacher)
• A typical Indian school focuses on completing the curriculum and is not structured to provide help to low grade students
• Teacher is in a dilemma whether to concentrate on the children who have basic skills or on the children who don’t know the essential things(reading a paragraph ,addition etc) and is severely suffering as she is unable to do justice for anyone
Proportion of the girls out of school has increased especially among girls in the age group of 11-14
Lack of basic facilities(uniform ,books, stationary, toilets, covered classrooms ,non mud floor etc)

• Yoga and meditation classes should be made as a part of curriculum for personality development
• Practical Labs should be encouraged from lower standard itself
• Teacher-student ratio should be increased
Necessities • Sarva shiksha abhiyan for achievement of
Universalization of Elementary Education
should be improvised to bring best results
• Inspections – schools with prior inspection have
less absence rates
• Students Should be encouraged in co-curricular
and extra-curricular activities(inter sports
competitions)
• Government and the educated people should
effort to publicize the importance of education
to parents in rural areas
to exhibit their inner qualities
In Team work to improve their interaction
Students must be encouraged
To develop patriotism in them
Challenges of schooling in india in comparision with foreign countries
Availability of clean drinking water,, school meals….. Health programmes such as de-worming..
“cost of education is
less than cost of ignorance”
• Anything government gives to the people is limited and the only thing which if given in limited quantities(upto available standard) also yields unbounded results is education
