Need for efforts to bring street children to schools TNN, Feb 8, 2011, 09.08pm IST VARANASI: Street children collecting garbage scattered on roads near Sunderpur-Bazardiha area. The schoolchildren in the area celebrating Saraswati Puja on Tuesday. The two pictures in contrast reveal the sorry state of affairs when it comes to education for the underprivileged kids. The provisions of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, which came into force on April 1, 2010, call for free and compulsory education to children between 6 to 14 years of age. Section 6(4), (5) under RTE Act envisages that children should be given an equitable education as enshrined in the constitution and economic, social, cultural, linguistic, locational, disability related barriers should not prevent a child from participating in and completing their education. However, when it comes to implementation, the reality seems to be making a mockery of the Act. "Unless a common school system that encompasses all government, private and aided/un-aided schools is envisaged with effective monitoring mechanisms to ensure quality of education, the Act would not be able to meet its obligations,'' said Prof S K Swain of faculty of education, BHU, on Tuesday. While the Act calls for free and compulsory education to young children, the provisions like creation of equitable infrastructure to accomplish the task are missing, he added. As per basic shiksha adhikari (BSA), Suryabhan, efforts have been initiated to enrol the children including drop-outs and other children deprived from getting formal education in bridge schools providing informal education. Similarly, intensified drives under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) have also bolstered efforts to bring these children to the schools. Last year as many as 1,088 children (between 6 to 14 years of age) were found to be out of school during a household survey in the city. The figures clearly indicating a high number of drop-outs and children deprived from formal education in the urban areas of the district.
