White Ribbon campaign for Effective Primary Education

 Millions of Indian children are losing an opportunity to reach their true potential due to poor education. Primary education is the foundation for all other education. Instead of the concentrating on improving this urgently, our government seems to be discussing only higher education. This is despite the Union HRD minister himself stating that only 12.5% of children are entering colleges. This sorry state of affairs can improve only if we, the people of India, take responsibility and seek responsibility from the government.

 In order to raise awareness about this issue, we are wearing small white ribbons on our sleeves on September 5th (Teacher's Day) and September 8th (International Literacy Day).

 Everyone will agree that we need to provide children effective primary education. After all, the future of India depends on it. Will you also please wear a white ribbon and help raise awareness about the urgent need for Effective Primary Education?

 Thank you.
