Good morning people. Im Ansuhka sahu and in todays debate activity, I stand before you with due respect for our examiner and my deserving competitors to assure your opinions in the denial of the topic The Right to education act is a realistic and achievable goal that will change the face of education in India.

My knowledgeable friends have drawn a rosy and optimistic picture of our countrys future in the field of education. Everyones taking about the time when each and every indian citizen will hold a graduate degree in hands. But let me wake you up, its too far !

Passed in 2009, the RTE Act came into force on April 1, 2010. According to the Act, every child between the ages of 6 to 14 has the right to free and compulsory education, without any child being subjected to social or cultural discrimination.

This is a very good but an impractical step. Looking at the present shortage of teachers in government schools, every teacher will likely end up with a class of 80+ students, which will be impossible for them to handle. In my view, the creators of the act have put things on paper without taking ground realities into consideration.

Speaking on the issue, J. S. Rajput, former director of NCERT says, 90 per cent of government schools do not meet the standards required under RTE Act. If their schools can't meet the standards how can they transfer their responsibility to private schools. Students from the underprivileged sections often do not gel well with the students in private schools, thus they either withdraw themselves or get hyper. If we really want to do something for economically weaker section, we could have started a second shift in the evening.

The change cant be brought overnight we have to climb small steps inspite of misleading. Why cant these govt. introduce acts for the country rather than for votes? Friends the day this bafflement will be solved, RTE would become a realisitc and acheivable goal and India would possess a new face. That would be the day when Ill be a part of my opponents team, as we are born for the coountry and well die for it only.

Thank you.

As I see it, there are three main points you will have to relate your speech to: RTE is realistic, it is achievable and it will change the face of education. Here are some points you could include FOR the motion.

Realistic:
The government has already introduced measures such as the mid-day meal to encourage children from economically backward homes to attend school. (I suggest you do some research on other measures that the government has introduced)
Children who fail classes lose interest in studying and are more likely to drop out. Parents whose children fail feel discouraged, and if they are not well-off, feel that it is a waste for them to pay for education. Already, schools cannot fail children till the 9th Std. This means that there will be less school dropouts in the 6-14 age group, which is what RTE targets.

Achievable:
I can't give you exact points for this, but I would suggest that you look up the literacy statistics of various states and point out how they have been rising, suggesting that parents do want their children to be educated.

Change the face of education:
When we are forced to cater to ALL children, not just the ones that fit into the cookie-cutter mould, we will have to rethink many of our current, outdated systems and constructs of education.
RTE also requires 25% of seats, even in private schools, be reserved for economically backward students who will not pay full school fees, but will be subsidized by the government at a rate they consider acceptable. This will lead to fewer schools being run for a purely profit motive. Schools will also have to rethink their approach to teaching when they have to deal with a mixed group.
This 25% cannot be put into a separate division, so even children from wealthy families will be mixing with kids from poor families. As a direct result of this, they will grow up to be more broad-minded.
In order to ensure that children are learning what they need to, in spite of not failing classes, new methods of assessment like CCE are being introduced in both the Central and in many State Boards.

Since this is a debate, you should prepare for the following possible arguments:
RTE does not require parents to send children under 14 to school.
Private schools have not agreed to the 25% reservation.
Government measures are not always successful and are often not implemented properly.
There is no proper provision yet to ensure that all schools follow the guidelines.

Finally, I suggest that you make it clear that although RTE is both realistic and achievable and will definitely change the face of education in India, we cannot expect this to happen overnight. This is a major change that will take time to fully happen.
