Lack of Good Educational Facilities and Gender Inequality in Education
- Going to school is a big step, but if the quality of education is
poor it reduces their future prospects. Especially in rural
areas, this is a major problem as there is no access to good
quality education.
- In some areas, children have to travel miles to get to school.
In addition to this, economic and financial situation of
families in rural areas drive children toward labor vs
education.
- Gender inequality in education is a major roadblock in
getting girls to go to schools as families in rural areas are
generally of lower economic status and don’t see the point in
educating a child when there are no real opportunities post
graduation. This is especially the case for a girl, who would
rather be expected to support the family.
- The quality of education, distance, lack of female teachers
and poor sanitation are often quoted as reasons for leaving by
many parents.
- A majority of government-funded schools do not comply
with basic standards set, not all teachers are professionally
trained and even electricity is a luxury in some rural areas.
Unless parents of the girl child see value in educating their
child, they will resist doing so.
High School Dropouts and Social Misconceptions
- According to UNICEF, 80 million children out of the 200
million admitted in elementary schools are likely to drop out.
That’s right. 40 percent of the children between the ages of 6
and 14 would not even complete their elementary education.
- According to this infographic, dalits, tribal minorities and
adolescent girls are much more likely to drop out of school.
For a nation that strives for aggressive rural development, we
don’t seem to care much about our young, especially the
deprived young, comprising of dalits, tribals, minorities and
adolescent girls.
- A joint study by Unesco Institute for Statistics and the Global
Education Monitoring Report has found that 47 million
adolescents in India have not progressed to upper secondary
school. As per the data, the country has the highest number of
out-of-school adolescents in the world.
