improve basic education system in govt. schools
by mmspm on Apr 10, 2008 07:10 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

govt. should stop corruption atleast in the matter of education sector, and improve middle and primary school education system and infrastructures in Govt. school.

Govt. should make unequal to equal in the society by improving the standards of our children of govt. schools (no comments abt private school children, bcoz they dont need this. economically they r good enough.)

not the other way as treating unequal as unequal.

How will a "lower caste" person make it to the Higher education with good score, if there is institutionalized caste discrimination at primary and secondary level? The hope of getting a berth in good higher education institution will enable the person to compete with better confidence against institutionalized odds. This is another way of looking at it.

You would know of the hardships lower caste folks face in rural areas, if you had been there, where upper caste students don't dine with lower caste students during mid-day meal, or how teacher discriminate them selectively.

But you can't sacrifice merit to deal with discrimination...discrimination and reservation are two completely different problems...they have to be dealt separately...please don't tell me you want to eliminate discrimination in a rural village by means of reservations in education?
