RTE is a symptom, more like secondary infection, never the root cause. Why we needed a sarvasiksha abhiyan that got morphed into the vile RTE? Answer to this question is the root cause
Parents in my TL can you touch your heart and answer this question? If your driver or house-help's child is as talented as your child, will she end up doing as well as your a child in life? An honest answer would be a no (at least in 95% of the cases). This is the biggest problem
India can't produce any more APJ Kalams with the way education "industry" operates currently. Period. Quality of education has become synonymous with medium of instruction in public perception. Public education system is dead. What follows is the horror.
In a hope for a brighter future for their kids, EWS folks end up sending their kids to Affordable Private Schools that still take a significant chunk of their monthly income away and in return provide pathetic teaching, zero accountability for learning outcomes
Other option for them is to send their kids to missionary schools, and we all know what happens there. Then there's a medium of instruction, lack of basic English knowledge (oral and written) alienates the parents from the learning process of the child.
Imagine if that happened to you? I was also a strong proponent of English as a medium of instruction, it changed the day I was asked this question by the then LoP of Goa assembly, Late MP sir. If you guys want we can discuss this question and answers to it. OAO
