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.
