Schools. Classrooms. Roofs. Playgrounds. Bathrooms. Books. Teachers. Teaching. Power. Water. One or more of these are missing from many schools and colleges. Primary education, the foundation, is also the most neglected. Without a proper foundation, how can we expect to build anything strong and long-lasting? Is it any wonder that over 87% of Indian children are not entering college?
Keeping this in mind, a group of concerned citizens have come together to focus on effective primary education. The idea is to raise awareness in the public, especially parents, regarding the current state of primary education. We hope to make parents ask for and take responsibility for the administration and overseeing of schools within their localities since they are biggest stakeholders. Quality would therefore improve.
As a first step, many people of all ages are participating in a rally on the 14th of August at 4 PM starting from the MLBT school opposite VUDA Park (on the beach road) and ending at the Mahatma Gandhi statue across from the GVMC building.
If you are interested in participating in this rally, please contact us at 9393104756 or 2758217. Even if you cannot or do not want to join the rally, but want to join hands with us, please feel free to contact us.
