Fundamental rights –
Education
As citizens of India, we are
honored to have 7 fundamental rights. Right to education is one
fundamental right that says that everyone in India should have right
to education without any bias, prejudice or malaise. Education /
literacy is the need of the hour. It is said that a thief can steal
your ornaments, money, mobile, electronics, currency but he cannot
steal the education. Education is your real ornament.
Educated citizens lead to
prosperity and development of the country and eradicates poverty and
manual labor. If the woman of the house is educated, she knows the
importance of education and would like her kids as well to have good
education. This leads to educated society which is away from poverty.
Right to education should
be for everyone irrespective of caste, creed, religion and sex.
Government of India has introduced many schemes via which the
families of lower income group can get their kids educated with
financial help available from the government or funded by the
schools. Many primary government schools have been opened which
provide free education and meal to the kids.
Let's take an example on
how education changed society – when British came to India very
less number of people were educated in the global sense and literacy
level was low. British wanted local people to fill some positions
which they could not fill by bringing more Britishers from England.
They opened educational institutes which gave global standard
education and helped some of our folks to learn what was happening in
the world. Made some of our leaders to know about the global trends,
labor struggles, Marxism and American freedom struggle. It gave them
the strong belief to make India free and have independence. The
language English has also helped Indian's in the current decade to be
the Outsourcing hub for jobs coming from US, UK and other developed
countries. Education can transform a nation and we should strive to
get more and more people educated.
