Child Education In India
World looks at India as one of the fastest growing economies of the past decade. We have made tremendous growth in our scientific, economic as well as political stature in the last few years. However gleaming these facts may look to the world, there is a truth that cannot be concealed under these facts. And it holds a sturdy potential to create an impact on India’s future.
This truth is the disturbing state of child education India is enduring today. A large number of children in India are still deprived of education. It is quite disheartening to know that several children amongst these have no access to schools or any educational facilities. They live in the darkness and illiteracy.
One of the major reasons contributing to the low child education statistics in India is child labour. In spite of the child labour act and several child labour laws, many children are still hired in factories, workshops, fields and even as domestic help. Shockingly, most of these children are forced into a child labour activity like weaving, firecracker packaging, beedi making or industrial welding by their parents who want them to earn an income rather than study. For every poor child education remains to be more of a luxury than a necessity.
Today, there are several government run organisations as well as NGOs involved in promoting education amongst underprivileged children and their families. Every NGO in education field is reaching out to more and more children in such families and providing them with quality education.
Save the Children is one such organisation working actively in the field of child education. Save the Children is one of the leading NGOs in India working on issues related to children like child education, child rights and child protection. We believe that education is not only a right in itself, it is an enabling right which can bring about a social, economic and political change and long lasting integration of people, especially the underprivileged section of the society.
Save the Children has created an ‘Inclusive Learner Friendly Environments’ through which we plan to develop ‘model inclusive schools’ across at least five States of India. We will work with selected schools/Anganwadi centres and pre-primary classes over the next five years to make them model Inclusive Learner friendly Schools and realize the dream of achieving Education For All.
You too can be a part of this effort by working with us. If you can’t take up any of our NGO jobs, you can contributing to our endeavor. You can donate for any of our causes. Your donation will be useful in shaping a child’s future. It is similar to sponsoring a child. When you support a child this way, your contribution helps us in providing him/her an opportunity to learn and helps us in materializing our initiatives and ensuring that each child receives quality education.
