INTRODUCTION:-
The primary school years are an important phase in your child’s education. It lays
the foundation for his learning and development later on in life. The primary
school curriculum is designed for a well-rounded learning experience and focuses
on three main aspects of education:
(1) A range of subjects comprising Languages, Mathematics, Science, Social
Studies, Art & Crafts, and Music to develop a good grounding in subjects across
different areas of study.
(2) Knowledge skills which focus on developing your child’s thinking, process
and communication skills. Knowledge skills are taught through a variety of
subjects.
(3) Character Development which focuses on instilling sound values in your
child, to take him through life as a responsible adult. Your child will have many
opportunities to develop life skills through Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs),
Civics and Moral Education, Social Emotional Learning, National Education and
Physical Education.
2. POINTS UNDER CONSIDERATION :-
In India Illiteracy is a major concern.
Causes:

the literacy rate among urban population is 84.1 per cent while it is 67.8 for
rural population
b) Awareness in Parents
4. Poor Infrastructure:
