Quality Education: A Luxury or A Fundamental Right?

28 August 202129 August 2021 Onkar Singh 6 Comments education, Inequality, Online Classes

The increasing costs of education have presented us with a pressing question: Is quality education still a tool to reduce disparity, or has it transformed into a luxury deepening the already-existing divide in our society?

Large number of students dropping out of the formal education system due to extreme and stingy frugality may turn into imperious problems in sustaining social harmony. NEP 2020 has come as a blessing in disguise with the decree of universalization of education while ensuring access, equity, quality, affordability, and accountability.

Schools becoming Garden of Selfish Giant

Building up resilience to address contextual issues is the need of the hour. Else, the schools may experience the abandoned look of winter just like the garden of “Selfish Giant”, even in the next spring!

The pandemic is a wake-up call for us to plan for better planning for our schools, and the future of our country.

The prevailing practice of online teaching for kids due to disruptions caused by COVID, need to be introspected from their perspective. The passive nature of the interaction, which happens in online classes, would hardly make children feel engaged in the learning process.
