Though there have been significant gains in literacy rates, large gender, social and regional disparities in literacy levels persist. The gains in literacy levels are due to success of the adult education programmes and improvements in primary schooling. However, there is a further need to enhance the literacy levels of the socially marginalized groups and those living in rural areas through interventions of adult education programmes and open schooling systems. This theme seeks to elicit views on how we achieve faster progress in reducing the existing disparities in literacy levels.

I have already posted in the other section under state public universities- use Moocs and other mass media including tv to improve literacy proficiency. The advantage of Moocs over tv is that it is not time bound- women/ alternate learners can work on flexible time. Parameters for success: flexibility in time, teaching methods that are differentiated according to the learning styles/ environment of the learner and timeline goals with an IEP- Individual Education Plan- this can be done digitally

I am sorry, the idea of "separating" students under women, SCs, STs, Minorities is nonsense. In India, Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge and wisdom is depicted in white- why- because white has all the colors in it and is neutral. Education needs to be that- one quality education irrespective of the backgrounds and socio-economic status of the learners. The problem is when we "segregate", there's more differentiation for budgets, quality etc. Every Indian has a right to a comprehensive educatn.

In any new education policy, emphasis need to be placed on primary (classes 1-5) and high school education (classes 6-12) in rural areas. It is absolutely vital that rural schools be properly staffed with quality teachers and staff and that schools have all the necessary infrastructure like classrooms, supplies, and furniture. My first hand experience of visiting some of the schools in western UP has been shocking to say the least. Most schools have no schools supplies or qualified teachers.

As most schools are just empty buildings after 4pm, there should be a special class of about 1-2 hours for the adults who are illiterate .

This section should be given more priority as most ot the drop outs are from here. So some special packages and fee reimbursement should be alloted to these section students.

Major thrust in New Education Policy should be to provide e-savvy and e-skilled Youth Community ready to share their innovative ideas of Classrooms and suitably rewarded for bringing change !

Sir, I simply believe that opening an Education Institute or a school has become the most profitable business in India. I studied in a Government school with nominal fees, very good teachers and moreover no extra tuition. Teachers were giving extra classes out of their own. But now big names, big schools, big buildings, big fees.But in spite of this there is an addition of huge tuition expenses. What is this going on? A poor person can't stand this situation. Govt should take care of education.
