debate on right to education is a realistic and achievable goal that will change face of india against the motion

 Worthy chairperson, secratary and dear students

Today, I, ____________, stand before you to speak against the motion on “The Right to education act ia a realistic and achievable goal that will change the face of education in India. My knowledgeable friend has drawn a rosy and optimistic picture of our country’s future in the field of education. There is no denying the fact that our country has taken some very bold strides in the universalization of education. And we have been seeing the progress. But we have to go a long way to fully change the face of education in the country.

I would like to draw your attention to the wide gap between what is shown to us through various media and data and what actually is available. In fact, I personally feel, satisfying picture is drawn before us which shows that everywhere there is happiness, progress and prosperity. But we still see dropouts from schools, searching the trinkets in the heaps of garbage. Those living in slums don’t go to school. There are villages where there are no schools, no teachers and nothing worth the name called ‘a school’. If I may not sound rude, I personally feel that the reality drawns on us when we actually visit the interiors of the country and see for ourselves how RTE is succeeding there. My knowledgeable opponent should be praised for giving you a good view. But my views are just opposite. I don’t think RTE will succeed in its mission unless we change our work culture and recognize the reality behind facts and figures. I, therefore, oppose the motion.

Thank you very much.

In the long run RTE is realistic and achievable. It aims at providing free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6-14 years as a Fundamental Right. Of the nearly 200 million children in the age group between 6 and 14 years, more than half do not complete eight years of elementary education; they either never enroll or they drop out of schools. Of those who do complete eight years of schooling, the achievement levels of a large percentage, in language and mathematics, is unacceptably low. It is no wonder that a majority of the excluded and non-achievers come from the most deprived sections of society -- Dalits, Other Backward Classes, tribals, women, Muslims and financially backward -- precisely those who are supposed to be empowered through education. 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.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.
