i want just a minute speech on Right to education..urgent...please answer as soon as possible......

this is depends on your creations

through rte act all the children 6-14 years have right to education .

"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows" - said Sydney J. Harris. In our country, there are lakhs of yound minds yearning to transform their mirrors of imagination into windows of reality.

Unfortunately there exists an inability in our country for many to attain even basic education in the form of poverty.

Right to Education is an effort by the Government to free people of this inability and enable them to attain basic education so that they can get sufficient knowledge to serve the society. I would like to analyze the merits and demerits of this RTE act and suggest some measures to improve its facilities.

"He who opens a school door closes a prison" - said Victor D. Hugo. The importance of this act need to be seen from this view as well.

The basic provision of right to education is to provide free and compulsory education upto 14 years of age. But I would define the need of the country as "Quality and Basic Education for all Indian kids". The act itself is just a stepping measure, which is not enough for our country.

That is minimum education must not be defined in terms of age but in terms of basic knwowledge to be possessed to serve the society. And this is what is needed to be guaranteed free and compulsory.

The second provision is that a Child would not be detained for failing until board exams. This is a very good meesaure to prevent students from discontinuing their studies due to failure in final exams.

The act specifies a fixed student-teacher ratio. But keeping within the sketch of limitated availability of professionally qualified and capable teachers, how this can be fullfilled will have to be thought about.

It provides 25% reservation for economically disadvantaged communities even in private schools. It is a very good measure for enclosing students of all economic status into the field of education. How this can be funded has to be discussed. It specifies that teachers must get adequate professional degree within 5 years. It ensures quality teaching for students and in turn quality education.

Another important provision is that it stresses upon improvement of infrastructure of school campus within 3 years or recognition shall be cancelled. This is a very helpful measure in providing quality education to students.

This act also states that the financial burden shall be shared by state and central Governments equally. I would like to quote a statement by Derek Bon, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance" . This is what should be realized by one and all in this country, as the Governments keep spending just 4-5% of our GDP in education. Should not money be there where the mouth is..?

Sure, Education is an ornament in prosperity, but a refuge in adversity. But as we progress into more knowledge soceity, it is not preparation for life. It is the process of life itself.

In this soceity where every task is getting mechanised mere experience cannot help a person to survive, as it did earlier. People look for educational qualifications as a mark of knowledge before entrusting a person with even mundane tasks increasingly.

Thomas L. Friedman once quoted "My Parents told me, finish ur dinner. People in China and India are starving". I tell my daughters "Finish your Homework. People in China and India are starving for your job".

Our education has become competent enough to become noticeable in the international level. Let's improve it further, spread it all sections of society and lead this nation to more light.

this is a long one make it short by taking the most important points
