this major concern

India spent over 4k crores on primary education but still--

Hurdles in providing compulsory primary education to all children:-

Total no. of primary schools=nearly 13.64

lakhs

Proper sanitation facilities in=25% of

schools

Pupil teacher ratio in primary schools=46

Literacy of India=74%...but..

Srilanka=92%

Nepal=78%

53% of 5th std. are unable to read

of 2nd std.

A. Lack of social awareness :- Major part of society in rural areas is unaware of value of education in their life.

Result- Parents don’t allow their children to go to school.

B. Inadequate number of teachers :- 1. Problem of teacher deployment i.e. 12 lacs posts are vacant in India and student to teacher ratio=46(20 in south Korea)

2. 25% of teachers bunk schools yearly

Result- poor attention and prolong absenteeism of students.

C. Poor infrastructure facilities:-

Government primary schools lacks in infrastructure, as,-

1. 45% schools don’t have separate toilets for girls

2. 39% schools don’t have even playgrounds.

3. 2000 primary schools are running under trees and tents.

Results:-22 lacs students (10%) shifted to private schools.

D. Ineffective Teaching methodology:- 1.Poor degree of curriculum making boring teaching environment.

2. . In CTET 2011,99% candidates fail . An NCERT report says B.Ed. Program is out dated and focus on rot memorization but not on learning.

Result- quality of education falls and absenteeism of students.

Ensuring primary education through grass root changes in system and society-
