THE BIG QUESTION ?

What Is EDUCATION  like In INDIA ?



In India there is a constitition that provides FREE education for children from ages 6 through 14. Almost all Indian children receive school, only half of those 10 years of age or older continue their education. There are several reasons why most children drop out of school. Some children leave school because their parents make them go to work on the family farm.Other children have to get jobs to support their families, or are needed to stay at home with the smaller children.
 

Illiteracy  is a major problem in India. Since about 1950 the government has spent much money on training teaching, publishing schoolbooks, and buliding schools. As a result to this, litreacy rates have improved, and school attendance has increased substantially. ( Half of india's adult population still cannot read or write.)
 
 

 My Opinion On INDIA'S SCHOOLS Is...

I  DON'T think I would want to go to school In INDIA. My reason Is ... I don't feel that I would get enough from the teachers In INDIA, and I would learn the same where I' am now.
I also would understand what they are saying because I don't speak their language.Now on the other hand If I spoke the language I think I would understand and might think about getting my education In INDIA.(If It was my last resort.)
