Imagine you are the education minister of a country you are told to make some laws regarding the education of girls what amendment to the prevailing laws would you do?

Dear student,

This is a creative activity based query meant to improve your thinking and writing abilities. We would request you to attempt such queries on your own. You may take help from Internet, Newspapers or magazines. However, you may use the points provided by us for a overview:

• It is quite a mockery when we talk about necessity of education for girls and on the other hand talk about carrying forward India from a developing to a developed nation.
• It is quite a well known fact that wisdom begins at home. Thus, it is very necessary for the women of the family to be refined and wise.
• There should be concession in the fee of the girl children in schools to motivate the parents to get them educated. Leaders and other social workers should actively support education of girl child.
• The nation's progress is visible through various famous instances of successful professionals such as Sushma Swaraj, Brinda Karat, Kiran Bedi, etc.
• The overall improvement in girls’ enrolment with respect to total population of girls clearly shows that there is a near universal enrolment at primary level. The gap and challenge exists now at upper primary stage, but there too the gap is narrowing steadily.
• The Constitution of India in Article 15(1) on right to equality, provides the basic policy framework that enshrines the vision of girls’ education and the spirit in which their education is to be provided. The trends in transition rates from Primary to Upper Primary are also positive.
• A new thrust was provided to girls’ education in the National Policy on Education 1986, (as modified in 1992) which provided a holistic vision for the education of women and girls and recognized the cross cutting issues that inhibited the realization of this goal.  It aims at using Education as an agent of basic change in the status of women in society.
