Important Materials on Socio Economic Development in India for IPS LCE Examination
Education in Indian Economy: An Overview Courtesy: Ministry of Information and Broadcasting publication division Education in Indian Economy: An Overview Education, as Swami Vivekanand had remarked long back, is 'the manifestation of perfection already in the child '. Children's young minds are not clean slates ('tabula rasa') on which teachers are to write their knowledge, attitudes, wishes, biases and values. When a child enters a school's classroom, his social milieu also accompanies him/her. Primary socialisation in the family and neighbourhood has already taken place, and thereby certain basic letters, terms, behaviour and values are already inculcated in him. Obviously the child knows something and desires to know more and more about his surroundings and environment. The individual goals of education are cognitive (knowledge), affective (values) and skill formation while the collective goals are employability, socio-economic development, better quality of life, peace and social harmony, well-informed citizens' participation in governance, national character and prosperity. For any productive activity, labour and entrepreneurship are as much required as land, capital and organisation. Labour is mainly of two types – manual and mental - though both are complementary to each other. However, one can do manual labour without specific skills but mental labour (skilled jobs) requires specific skills and training. Hence for getting skilled and semi- skilled jobs, one is to be educated and trained in a particular area and direction of knowledge. Primary Education: India joined the club of developed/developing countries with compulsory education on 1st April, 2010 when Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009) became effective though Article 21A was inserted in Indian constitution through 86th amendment in 2002. Thus all children of 6-14 years are to get free education up to 8th standard (elementary education) and at the same time through Article 51A (K) it is the fundamental duty of all parents and guardians to send their children to schools. It also provides for better teacher-pupil ratio, opening of more schools, more buildings, more classrooms, toilets, trained teachers, improvement in curriculum and library / lab and, on the other hand, it prohibits a) physical punishment and mental harassment, b) screening procedures for admission, c) capitation fees, d) private tuition by teachers, and e) running of schools without recognition. Under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (Education for all) following progress have been made in India : -
99 percent of rural population has a primary school within one Km- 3,66,559 schools were opened till September, 2010; -
Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) at primary level (5th) increased from 96.3 in 2001-2 to 114.37 in 2008-09; -
GER at upper primary level (8th) increased from 60.2 in 2001-2 to 76.23 in 2008-09; -
Gender Parity Index (GPI) improved from 0.3 in 2001-2 to 1.00 in 2008-09 at primary level; -
GPI improved from 0.77 in 2001-2 to 0.96 in 2008-09 at upper primary level;
