Education is the backbone of national development and is
widely accepted as an instrument of social change. India
has been an active partner in the worldwide movement for
education for All that began in 1990 in Jomtien followed
by Millennium development goals. The important issues which
need immediate attention to achieve MDG targets in Education are as follow.
Access to education is the fundamental right of all children.
It cant be solved unless a separate strategy can be worked
out for disabled children, children living in rural areas,
children belong to social and religious minority groups and girl child.
High drop out: The drop out rate in primary classes has been decreasing steadily.
However it requires intensive efforts through innovative experiment
to reach the target.
Quality bench marking is an important challenge. It can be achieved in terms
of school infrastructure, teaching learning material, curriculum,
teacher competency etc.
Reducing Gender gaps: Without addressing the gender gap with
specific category based on caste, class and religion, the UEE
will remain an unfulfilled dream.
Access to Educational Technology: The UEE goal can be achieved by
the use of technological tools like ICT, video conferencing,
web based learning, online program etc.
Governance: Here the good governance includes support of government
policy, active role of local government, effective school
administration and role of judiciary.
Multi-Stakeholder Paricipation includes active participation of
central governmnet, state government, local government, private
sector, CBOs and NGO.
