Education
is still a neglected aspect in many parts of rural India.
Despite existence of schools in almost
all the villages and hamlets, many village
residents do not send their children
to schools and continue to engage them in daily chores. Some
parents admit the children in the school, but do not
ensure that their children attend schools regularly and send
the children to the
school only when some benefit has to accrue from the school.
Regular contacts are maintained
with parents to
apprise them of the importance of
education and sensitise them to
regularly send their
children to school.
To improve level
of teaching in the primary schools regular discussions
are held with the teachers of primary
schools. During these
discussions, the teachers have
come out with the
difficulties they face like shortage
of teachers, carelessness of parents, etc. This has
formed the basis of advocacy with the Education Department for
solution of teachers' problems with a view to improve quality of
education.Village level workshops
are held to discuss
shortcomings in the educational system.
For the betterment and qualitative
improvement of primary education, training of Village Education
Committees have also been organised.
Pradhan, members, teachers, parents and members of education
committee were invited to these training. The topics of the
training included difficulties faced and rights and duties of
Village Education Committee.
Lastly, to
strengthen primary education in rural areas and to reach benefit
of the government scheme to the targeted people, the
organisation’s workers made efforts to implement mid day meal by
establishing coordination between teachers and parents so mid-day
meal scheme can meet its objectives and children can get its
benefit. |
