Out-of-School Children: The number of out-of-schoolchildren has declined from 25 million in 2003 to 8.1 million
in mid2009. The percentage of out-of-school children inhighly populated states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal,Orissa and Bihar remains a cause of concern.
Social Inclusion: Although there have been significantimprovements in the proportion of children from sociallydisadvantaged groups in school, persistence gaps remain.
Teachers: Children have the right to have at least 1qualified and trained teacher for every 30 pupils. Currently,the national average is about 1 teacher to every 34
students, but in states such as Jharkhand, Madhya Pradeshand West Bengal 1 teacher works with more than 60students.
Sanitation: 84 out of 100 schools have drinking waterfacilities overall in India. But nearly half the schools in
Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Meghalaya do not. Sixty-fiveout of 100 schools have common toilets in India; however 3Mayank Chandola PRN:11020241087

Girls lower attendance at and completion of school may bedue to discrimination.
Overcrowding in classrooms is likely due to an insufficientnumber of schools.
A lack of textbooks and equipment would also contravenethis guarantee.
If parents cannot pay school fees and/or must send childrento work to help support
the family, then education is not affordable to them.
When schools are not near home and transportation is notreadily available, education is not physically accessible.
Poor teaching and poor quality textbooks contravene theguarantee of a good quality education.
School drop out may be due to a number of reasons, but
one could be that the education does not address the needsof specific groups of students.9Mayank Chandola PRN:11020241087

Major concern: implementation in the right spirit
Enforcement of the Fundamental Rights is the duty of thestate. Now the state is enforcing it on others including theminorities.
Mechanisms to ensure good quality education?
Child labor Act - various areas of conflict.
Education for children under 6 (ECE) is optional
Disadvantaged children treated as a homogenous group-
various categories and different needs for each
Assumptions: child at home & in a family. Ensuring specificneeds of street children or those who migrate?
SMCs- private schools exempted/ minority institutions(advisory role)

Where a child is directly admitted in a classappropriate to his/her age, he/she has a right toreceive special training to be at par with others. Howdo you do that?
Regarding age proof even an affidavit will suffice.Now, can you insist on hospital certificate or baptismcertificate?
No test or interview for admission.
Under the act, compulsory education starts at theage of 6. But our schools admit children in UKG or 11Mayank Chandola PRN:11020241087
