5
months to go,
where are we today
on Universalisation
of Elementary
Education
India
planned universalisation
of
elementary education
by 2010. The idea
was to have each
child in school
for at least 7
years. And each
child learning
well. We are just
a few months away.
Are all our children
in school today.
Are these children
continuing in
school or dropping
out midway. If
so, why ? And
what are the efforts
of various stakeholders
?

India had over
30 crore adult

neglected ?

Vocational
Training
While
India plans to
universalise elementary
education and
also thinking
Universalisation
of secondary education,
it is important
that we simultaneously
think of a major
push to vocational
training to ensure
work for all

Education
of disabled
Even
if there is one
child he has the
right to be included,
right to be part
of the mainstream
and it is the
responsibility
of the society
and the government
to be equipped
to make sure that
the child gets
what he is entitled
for. If adapting
the curriculum
is the solution
we must do it.
India is a large
country with huge
population but
still efforts
must be made.

of Tribals
Dantewada,
a predominantly
tribal belt, was
the last ranked
district in terms
of education,
in the 2001 census.
Almost eight years
down the line
and just a few
months away from
the UEE target,
the situation
is not exciting

Education
of Girl Children
Educating
a girl child is
not all about
sharing her alphabets
or mathematics
or lessons in
geography. An
educated girl
is the sign of
an empowered society.

Hippocampus
Reading Foundation
(HRF) was initiated
to promote reading
amongst children.
We work with different
community based
organizations
that are already
working with the
poor, government
schools, village
libraries, urban
and rural schools.
We offer them
solutions to run
libraries in their
community. The
Hippocampus has
one more wing
which runs a ‘for-profit
library’
for middle class
children. So we
have programme
running for urban
and rural India
both. We cater
to the primary
school children
from class 1 to
class 7.

Mobile
creches for large
scale infrastructure
projects
Infrastructure
is big on the
agenda of our
metros, minimetros
and even district
places. What happens
to the children
of our labour.
From the study
conducted about
a year ago at
construction sites
in Delhi, Gurgaon
and Noida, Mobile
Creches found
that less than
1% of the families
were sending their
children to formal
school. That also
only to primary
schools, none
of them were using
secondary school.
Its time we start
working on the
successful Mobile
Creches model
to take care of
education of the
children of migrant
workers.
