Primary Education

“Childhood should be given its full measures of life’s drought, for which it has endless thirst. The young mind should be saturated with the idea that it has been born in a human world which is in harmony with the world around it. And this is what our regular type of school ignores with an air of superior wisdom, severe and disdainful” – Tagore

Secondary dropout

Brain drain

Inefficient governance due to poor participationOther Social issues resulting out of above problems

Poor primary education is root cause of many critical issues.

“Takshila Nalanda ka itehas laut ke aayega “

What is the purpose of Primary Education?Purpose of Primary education should be to help a child develop as an informed and healthy adult. By the end of primary education a child should be able to decide on his course of secondary education.

What we suggest?A three tier program for simultaneous development of infrastructure , teachers and quality of education imparted in primary and secondary sections and creation of volunteering network.

What to implement?Value based education system which will develop moral , social and spiritual qualities in child.Favorable job attitude system which will develop satisfied and commited teaching professionals.Volunteer network will act as guiding light for the entire system.

How to implement?Development of network of schools based on hierarchial model of special institutions.Utilization of existing infrastructure and development of new case by case basis. Enrollment of volunteers across the country and assign them schools of their choice.

Funding needs?We need to increase education expenditure from current 3% of GDP to 6% of GDP to cater the need of our young generation and improve outdated existing infrastructure. Promotion of tax free donation schemes can also help in assisstance

Who is target population?This solution is to cater the needs of government schools and government guidelines for education policy for general public. Private institutions are developing there pedagogy model and are self sufficient to cater their economic needs.

Our Plan for implementation of infrastructure

•On the lines of Hole in the Wall experiment, it has been proved that students

learn on their own if provided intrinsic incentives so we propose to use the wide

network of post offices(already existing, so no extra cost of creating a whole

new infrastructure)

•As it can be observed that there is a huge and widely scattered network of

Post-offices all across our country. Some relevant facts are:

•Number of post offices in India 1,55,015

•Total zones of post offices 22

•Number of post offices in rural areas 1,39,144

Creation of a public library system.

BUSINESS PLANThe Market

Infrastructure

•Vast infrastructure of post offices can be utilized to provide networking facilities for multimedia information on the lines of Hole in the wall experiment.

( 89.76 % of post offices are in rural areas )

•Provision of laptops for teachers. This will aid in teaching as well as incentive for teachers.

Incentives to students

•“ Where there is joy, there is creation , where there is no joy there is no creation.”

•By implementation of new syllabus and avilability of knowledge about surroundings child will be motivated to participate.

•By having model academies they will have incentive to perform in later stages.

•Mid day meals.

Incentives to Parents

• Meaning full education

where they can observe changes in their child

•Incentives to perform and secure better education will lead to better enrollment to secondary classes

•Involvement of parents through parent-teacher interaction and orientation sessions will make them aware of importance of education
