Primary Education In India

Overview

As humans evolved, they developed the ability to fulfill needs of food and shelter, for more security societies were formed. To make human life more comfortable, societies needed continuous development of knowledge and wisdom. Thus we created educations systems like gurukuls, schools and universities. India was known as Land of knowledge. We understood the importance of education. In post colonial independence era we founded some very great higher education institutes like IIT’s and Central universities, but our Primary education system could not be grown as an excellence driven system and in most parts of country it remains a mere formality. The quality of education could not be taken to the level where it could’ve help larger portion of society. Especially government funded primary schools are not at par with required standard.

We can segregate Indian education system in elementary, secondary and Higher education. Generally elementary education comprises 8 years of schooling. According to DISE Data 8 Lakh Primary schools are functioning, which facilitates education only till class 5th. Even the schools are not uniform in size, few schools are very small and some of them are very large.

Rs 56, 386.63 Crore has been allotted to school education in interim budget of 2019-20 Despite such huge allocation of funds towards school education from government of India, Quality of education is not improving as fast as it should be.
