Educate the Nation

Dropout rates are showing the syndromes of failed education system

priorities should be all 

 
 There is a well-known saying that if you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation. In the order of national priorities, educating India’s girl child figures right at the bottom to top and as well as extra help at home or domestic help in others’ homes.

If you see in reality, the begging of education system provided by government policy trapped directly on people of India. This result come shredder on day to day life. Digital India currently spending more campaigns to protect girl child and also pledging to educate her ‘Beti Bachchao and Beti Padhao’ with ringing endorsements from Bollywood celebrities. However, less than 160km from New Delhi, in a small village in Hathras Uttar Pradesh, parents don’t want their girls to go to a school that is less than two kilometers from their home.  

The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2015 puts the proportion of dropouts in the age group of 6-14 at 3.9 percent. Of this, 22 percent boys and 24 percent girls dropped out before completing Class I. However, the difference in dropout rates between girls and boys increases among 11-14 year olds, as girls are eased out of school were from those lowest castes, tribal groups and Muslim communities. Same picture with others states like Bihar, Jharkahand, Madya Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and a few more from the North East. Mizoram reported a staggering 23.93 percent dropout rate among girls.

There are good reasons why these states rank low in terms of literacy indicators. First, when parents send their boys to private schools and girls to government schools. Second, when teachers reinforce the belief that boys learn faster than girls, thus discouraging the girls. Thirdly, teachers are not able to attract the child to come to school. Forth, system of education not able to break down classroom teaching or four wall (Class room) class system. Fifth, pressurize on child to go school and so on.

There are many reasons behind the causes of dropout children not only girl more priority as well boys. The nation want to reform on Education system which should form by own and systematic with compile subjects in a present scenario basis. Children or student of the nation never and ever fail in their examination on the basis of percentage. They fail because of the present education system is already fail, that’s all. The nation need to little pause for evaluate the education system. Otherwise, not only dropout and other cases also with many defaults and circumstances occurs non-going process by the results. That is why, in present the children are affected by this failing education system.

Humanitarianism has become a side show to war

Aleppo has entered tragedy

       

           The long battle for Syria’s second city of Aleppo has entered tragedy for entire humanism.  Whatever the causes behind, but biggest losses are Humanitarian. Result showing more then 4 lakh killed (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/04/staffan-de-mistura-400000-killed-syria-civil-war-160423055735629.html) and an estimated 2,50,000- 3,00,000 civilians have been trapped (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37008100) in rebel-held parts of Aleppo since early July. Indian has the ideology of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam that means “the World is one family”. But the situation says to India is keeping silence. Why is it that no one in India is responding? Don’t lives matter?” Humanitarianism has become a side show to war, a cubbyhole next to it rather than an ethical challenge to war. While war is getting to be technocratically lethal, ethics has taken a deeper downturn. If ethics has not been able to cope with the technocratic and political logic of war then some more valuable duties not being followed by us. A lone voice like Pope Francis is not enough. Humanitarianism has become a side show to war, a cubbyhole next to it rather than an ethical challenge to war. The work that groups like Médecins Sans Frontières did in challenging the passive nature of humanitarianism needs to be deepened and thickened. The logic of war sometimes paints a situation with broad brushes. To paint an entire city as terrorist allows for mass violence, permits one to ignore the innocent living helplessly within it. Even the poignancy of Facebook messages falls on deaf ears, disappearing into the silences of the global world.

Today as Indians read the newspapers celebrating Virat Kohli’s cricketing exploits or discuss the wisdom of demonetisation, I hope they spare a moment for Aleppo and I hope they will act on it. For too long, we have been a passive society, deaf to Rwanda, Somalia, Syria. Our foreign policy is a piece of empty piety. It is time the little creativities of compassion and ethics enter our lives. Maybe Aleppo can be a first step to a more humane India.
