CHALLENGESCHALLENGES Drop outs Illiteracy of adults and women Academic degrees without vocational use Corrupted educational system Class base educational system with dualistic
character Inadequate resources Non - reachability of Government programmes
and policies Political interference in schools and colleges Lack of educational opportunities for weaker
sections Low quality of syllabus Education as a money spinning business
School drop outs still exist. Why?? Are adults and women underprivileged to be literate?? Why degrees without job orientation?? Who is responsible for the corrupted educational system?? Is still gender bias existing?? Should our children be taught in a unsafe condition??
Why only
boys….?
Who will neutralize this gap…..?
Infra structure Do Matters…..!!!
