Primary education Primary education is the first stage of compulsory education. It is preceded
by either the pre-school or nursery education and is followed by secondary education. Primary education gives a child a platform and an approach to realise his dreams.
The quality of Primary education in India is a big problem. In 2008, only about 50%
of IIIrd Standard students could read Ist Standard text, but to make it more worse, it declined to 30% by 2012 .... A fall of 16 % !!! Today, about 50% of the IIIrd Standard kids cannot even correctly recognise digits up to 100, where as they are supposed to learn two digit subtraction. In 2008, about 70 percent of the kids could do this. This is a serious situation which needs to be addressed.
WHY IT IS????? 1. Our education system is not able to create interest in education. 2. Our educational objectives are only transforming our kids to
bookworms. We can’t even value their dreams and aspirations.
WHY THIS TOPIC????: This topic touches our hearts and if we are able to resolve it , it will not only do us lots of benefits but also serve for
India’s purpose .
CONCEPT :
Only a student can understand the problem of another student. Henceforth,
he/she can easily get acclimatised to the ground conditions and can solve the problems in an effective manner.
A student knows how to solve the problem in easiest way and that too effectively.
As Steve Jobs said -“A lazy guy can find a more simple and effective s way to solve the problem ”.
The focus point is to create interest in kids towards education. if we are able to create interest towards learning in kids, then we will be able to improve the quality of primary education in India.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Implementation method
As per the census of 2011,there are 15.8 crore kids in the age
group of 5-12years and 90% of those are
connected to education.
As per a survey conducted in the year
2012,there are 2.5crore primary kids in school and for their
purpose, 53.6 lakh primary teachers have
been deployed. We have nearly 1.5 crore
secondary ,higher secondary and
graduate students .
If our secondary, high secondary and
graduate students just devote 1-2 hours per
day for educating kids, and govt pays them some amount(on an
hourly basis),it will not only give students
some part time income but also
prevent the waste on primary education.
Students of Sec.,high Sec. Schools, Graduates colleges can go to Rajiv Gandhi Pathshalas ,Anganwadi Kendras or to primary schools (nearest..based on their convenience) and
teach them with their own method so as to make small kids more inclined towards
education and learning.
In Rajiv Gandhi Pathshala , Anganwadi Kendra the govt. provides many teaching instruments. The students can better utilise them that like
we can teach them maths with the help of Abacus (first comp as like a kids black slate
with rubber ball in wires)or create interest in science with the help science magic .
It is also possible that primary school kids can visit the Sec.,high sec. School s and graduation colleges and students can
help them in making them comfortable with higher education. From this, the big gap b/w college students and kids can be
reduced. Interest in education will also improve .
We can organise educational fairs for primary school children at the district
level and if possible 3-4 in every district . All colleges must be made to actively participate in fairs by doing stuffs as science magic and education related
things.

Merits of the proposed solution
This step would help enormously in improving the interest of kids towards basic
primary education.
The gap b/w poor and rich kids as far as their educational skills are concerned will be decreased .
Teaching quality would improve ,leadership qualities and self-dependence in graduates students would increase and from the payment system student will not entirely depend on their parents .
Bonding between two generations will be improve and that would be of great help to the nation.
Ratio of the students who pursue higher education will increase.
Expected budget for this is nearly half of the over primary education budget means saving of people’s money with greater efficiency.
Hence, the conclusion is that the step would definitely improve the quality of the primary education.

TRAVEL CONCESSIONS:
3000 crores per annum
ON EDUCATIONAL FAIRS:
1100 crores per annum(if 4 fairs are conducted per annum)
Primary Education

CONTROL STRUCTURE FOR IMPLEMENTATION
DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL
OFFICER
PRIMARY SCHOOL HEADMASTERS
PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS,UNPRIVILEGED
KIDS
VOLUNTEER STUDENTS
PRINCIPALS AND DEANS OF VARIOUS
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

CHALLENGES The biggest challenge lies in driving the youth of today for the
cause.
Poorer section of the society often tends to send their children to work rather than to school. Hence, a major challenge lies in influencing them to send their kids to study.
Another difficulty would be in ensuring that proper payment is done and corruption is not at all tolerated.
Ensuring that proper transparency is maintained as far as payment and devoting proper time is concerned.
