Deteriorating Standards of Government Schools

Education plays the important and foremost role as an effective instrument for achievement and survival. Purposeful education enables the individual to understand and study the real-life situation and to develop an opportunity for creating confidence and provide a strong base for rational and value-oriented and nation-building progress to get this education we need to go to schools. Nextly, teachers are responsible for the pupils’ education or educating them at all levels. Now there are two types of schools; government schools and private schools. Here in these, we are talking about government schools and their deteriorating standards. Why government schools are deteriorating standards? So some major issues are infrastructure issues, teacher issues, poor quality education, syllabus issues, and many more. For which measure steps are to be taken to improve the quality as well standards of government schools. We have overall seen the issues and the steps to be taken. Currently, government school children’s learning outcome is minimum, and their sense of living, way of talking, and overall personality are different from that of private schools which also needs to be focused on. Proper sanitation and cleanliness should be maintained in government schools which will help children attend their schools regularly. Several years back people who were not economically sound, and their children were unable to get an education so the government took the initiative to provide schooling to all children between 6-14 years by forming an act that is right to education act. The right to education has now become the fundamental right and is included in part III of the Indian constitution under article 21-A. This was done in the case of Mohini Jain vs. the state of Karnataka. The Supreme Court division bench decided this case. Justice comprising of Kuldip Singh and R.M Sahai held that:- “Right to education is the essence of the right to life and directly flow and interlinked with it and life living with dignity can only be assured when there is a significant role of education.” Later examined by five judges’ bench in J.P. Unnikrishnan v. State of Andhra Pradesh and held that:- “Right to education means citizen has the right to call up the state to provide the facilities of education to them in according to the financial capacity.” The above-mentioned cases list the right to education to be in part III being as a fundamental right. Some more cases that enumerate the right to education as a Fundamental right like the case of State Board of Secondary and Higher Education vs. K.S. Gandhi and case Bandhua Mukti Morcha, etc v. Union of India.
