Grasp The World With The Means Of Education

Every living being in the society has individual thought practice, where humans differ from the others is for their progressive thinking for a better mankind and only education can drive rational and logical thinking. A country’s development entirely leans on the literacy level. Precisely not average, but better education only can hand out a well-versed path for future. As we all know, most of the people think education is essential for a great job, great profile and prominence in the society; eventually it’s true but to some extent. Proper knowledge doesn’t encourage any ranking system in the society. Being the best free online education portal in India here we shall discuss how education can indeed fetch positive change in the society.

Education has the omnipotence to challenge the entire mankind. Otherwise, the word ‘civilization’ wouldn’t have been stalked by the far-offs bit-by-bit. Education can dream up health, environment, economy, and infrastructure everything smoothly rolling. Every process of education ends up with making you a better person or a self-dependent person in particular. It encourages people to dream big. Basically the entire education system is divided into three segments- primary, secondary and higher education. Kids are sent to primary schools, then high schools and then college and universities which is a constant process to complete the circle of permanence and capacity. Embarking on knowledge through education people develop a fine power of listening. Not everybody is equal in memorizing. Apart from practicing, listening helps them to remove the helix.

For students who think that education is a humdrum process of tutorials, let’s tell you education does never mean whale-like books with full of doctrines. Even physical activity is very much a part of education. School going is not a routine, it’s imperative. There’s nothing on this globe that should be better left unknown.  Thus the course of learning should be simple, yet effective. The aim of your life starts getting well-defined with the course of education. By enrolling your favorite subject for higher education, you make a step forward to advance education. Education is the only means that lends a hand in the progress of critical analysis of any situation. For an illiterate person right or wrong almost has the similar value. It’s education that brings out presence of mind or independent decision.

Education neither upholds any reservation nor does it create any discrimination based on the gender or race. Thus, spreading out knowledge is always a constructive move living on your surroundings and your society. People get remembered for their contribution to the society. Your profession is your identity within your environs. Mass remembers the one who does something incredible in his/her lifetime in any field of active performance. People with the higher intellectual wealth always hold a hearty status in the society. Only knowledge is constant. And the fun part is once you start stretching the sphere of knowledge it will never oppose you. It will give you thrills when you explore admiration of your knowledge in others perspectives. Thus, not for achieving success, educate yourself to excel as competition is within you, against yourself.

Here’s Why Schools Should Teach English From the Beginning in India

There have been several states and central policies acted reciprocally in introducing English language studies from the starting level. Some of the states have brought English in class 1 and class 3 levels. Again the research constantly exhibits that for an amateur it’s comfortable to adapt a learning process in his/her mother language. A group of secretariats set up by PM Modi, which has released its reports declaring, “The people from the weaker section of the society want English to be taught in the government schools since the beginning. They feel that English is an avenue for better life”.

This initiative also highlights on the facts like detention policies in several classes, and introduction of yoga and physical education classes for the physical development of students. Career prospect will definitely get better for those you start learning English early. Students who start learning English late won’t have better access and proficiency while choosing higher studies or even in professional fields. Surprisingly the system has been continuously neglecting a major fact like social settings/ cultural backgrounds. In a country like India where there are advanced system like online college portal /educational portal for academic institution selection purpose, adversely there is majority of parents who can’t afford basic level of education to their children.

There are numerous English medium private schools with advanced educational systems in India. Since there is a severe social discrimination among the socio economical classes, even after having strong aspiration potential students can’t enroll these just because of lack of financial comfort. Parents prioritize these public schools over the government ones as the govt. schools don’t have the infrastructure to give lessons on English from the foundation point. After receiving this kind of undesirable feedback from the financially weaker section of the society govt. has finally come up to a conclusive point that English should be taught from the beginning in the govt. schools. This policy also includes withholding process at various levels to amend the entire learning process. Accordingly the HRD ministry is by now in the course of reviewing the policy of no detention till the 8th standard.

Asking on the detention policy HRD confirms, “The No-detention policy promotes the students who don’t want to learn and hence we are in favor of Detention at various levels in schools. The panel also recommended partaking in Programmers for International Students’ Assessment.  Nevertheless we feel during the execution of the entire process the methods and materials which are likely to be adopted for teaching English at the basic level to the students from shaky background should be designed on the nose. The quality of instructions should be made seemly. Simultaneously educating parents is also equally required to bring the discussed system on board.
In a nutshell the teaching process should have to be smooth so that it can develop the basic literacy level of the learners. The teacher needs to be innovative and he/she should have the translation capability to make the transition unhesitant. Otherwise the teacher will struggle along with the learners. To have an overall progress a country should have a proper educational system to have a well-proportioned literacy level.

India is Prodigal To Educate its Young Populace

In India there are four states which have the lowest literacy rates according to the Census 2011. These states are- Bihar, Madhya Pradesh (MP), Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh (UP). Out of the 1.2 billion population of the nation 445.1 million people coming from these states are apparently out of basic level literacy. Being the leading education portal in India let’s contemplate why the country has some adverse scenario being in the track of progress?

By 2020 India will have the largest population with approx 869 million. However the reports say that India is still inefficient to educate its young population. The recent survey was conducted in the four states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh on the base of literacy, school enrollment, learning effects, and education with 43.6% of India's school-age population between the ages of five and fourteen.

In terms of literacy level the country has wide variation exists across the individual states. Census reports highlight that India's literacy rate has improved 8.66 points to 74.04% between 2001 and 2011.

Literacy rates of the states 
 Bihar had a literacy rate of 61.8%, Rajasthan of 67.1%, UP of 67.7 %and MP a rate of 70.6% in 2011, less than the all-India average of 74%. Kerala has a literacy level of 94%, the highest in the country. School results are also inferior in the four BIMARU states.

 At present, only 2.5% of school-age children between the ages of 5 and 14 from these four states - Kerala, Mizoram, Tripura and Goa - with the highest literacy percentage in India, in comparison to 43.6% in the four BIMARU states, said Census 2011.

 In Maharashtra, the literacy rate was 82.3% in 2011. Whereas the predictable life anticipation rate for those took birth during 2011-16 was 70.4 years, declared in the Population Reference Bureau report. In comparison, MP, with an inferior literacy rate of 70.6%, also held a lower estimated life expectancy rate of 61.5 years for 2011-16. School admission is thus affected by a number of factors such as parent's education, domestic wealth, midday meals, infrastructure and more.

Pass percentage in schools 
During 2014-15, fewer students got promoted from standard five to grade six in UP, with a transition rate of 79.1%. While a small state like Goa, had a transition rate of almost 100% in 2014-15, according to data from the Unified District Information System for Education.
Petrifying education condition of some states.

In MP, hardly 34.1% of children in grade 5 have the capability to read a grade II text in 2014, where the percentage was 75.2 in Himachal Pradesh, as per the Annual Status of ASER 2014. Correspondingly, in Rajasthan, 45.9% of children in grade V could "at least" withhold compared to 87.4% in Mizoram.

Major obstructions in educational development 

The efficiency of India's young population would have a growth on the process of advancement in health, education and employment prospects, according to a 2013 study of in Asia and Pacific Policy Studies. Life expectancy at birth, one of the crying factors found to disservice the literacy in India, according to a 2005 World Bank study, varies across states.

Still, the BIMARU states spend less on educational development than their more literate equivalents. For example MP spends Rs 11,927 ($175) per student, while Tamil Nadu spends Rs 16,914 per student, the Economic and Political Weekly reported in September 2016.
