Budget Allocation/ Human Capital Formation: If you really want to know the priorities of a government, instead of going to their manifesto, check their budget allocation. One major reason our literacy rates have remained low or extremely stagnant is that there is very little allocation in the Budget. Too Many Stakeholders: The system has too many stakeholders – teachers, students, administrators and even the Government. While the main focus in on the ones who education is being dispensed to, the children, even the imparters, that is the teachers, aren’t happy with a lot of instability in regulations, unwarranted discipline imposed on them. And, in that bid to please all the stakeholders, and failing at it, the essence of education and literacy is lost. It’s the age-old saying of “Too many cooks spoil the broth”. The System Is Outdated: We need better policies, more interactive classroom approach, more student-friendly learning methodology, and better study models which would focus on holistic and comprehensive learning, instead of the flawed and narrow ‘let’s cram and vomit in exam’ models. How Can It Get Better?: Education Start-Ups: The statistics clearly show how important it is for our literacy rates to get better. Many online education start-ups are working for the literacy rates to soar. They focus on building interest in the formative years and, hence, target the younger age groups. Follow the Delhi Model: The Delhi government’s model on budget allocation for education is a solid example of prioritising right. Their programme ‘Mission Buniyaad’ was aimed to beat the poor literacy rate. Today, students are at a level playing field thanks to their exemplary programmes which have also got world recognition. Today, the Delhi Chief Minister’s son and a tailor’s son are going to be studying together at IIT. It’s not about the class divide, but providing equal access to resources- that’s the main ‘end’ a government must seek to achieve through the ‘means’ of these policies.

2. Poverty leaves India with huge literacy problem still
to solve:

3. Value Of Education

4. There is a wide gender disparity in the literacy rate in India: effective
literacy rates (age 7 and above) in 2011 were 82.14% for men and 65.46%
for women

5. Illiteracy, in it’s simplest terms can be
defined as a social plague.

6. The literacy rate in India was 12% at the time of Independence. It has improved
six-folds since, yet things are no different.
But the shocking fact is that, currently India one of the foremost
developing countries of the world, has a literacy rate of 74%.
Something Needs To Change Something Has Changed
We all know that literacy is the basic
requirement for development of a
nation.

7. Observations:
From graph (Heat
map),
Minimum correlation
value from 2001-2011
in urban area.
Literate persons in
urban area are better
than rural areas.

8. Fraction Of Women Teachers
The green line tells the real story. The
share of teachers who are women rose,
not fell, over the past three-plus decades.
The proportion rose quite a bit through
some time in the 1990s and then has
edged up a bit more since.
Now some more explanation about the
graph. The solid lines are taken from the
Current Population Survey (CPS)—a
representative survey.
The dots are taken from the Schools and
Staffing Survey (SASS), which is a survey of
teachers only and does not reach back
quite so far. The SASS trend is also upward,
but somewhat less dramatically so.

9. Data Of Different States Regarding Literate/Illiterate
Population Of States
States
Sex and Literacy wise Population Ratio
Sex Literacy
M F Literate Illiterate
A.P 5 3 2 7
M.P 3 1 1 4
Delhi 2 3 2 1
Goa 3 5 3 2
Bihar 3 4 4 1
U.P. 3 2 7 2
T.N. 3 4 9 4

10. Total Enrolment In India’s Elementary Schools In Millions
As per observation
I have seen in this
graph maximum
enrolments in the
year (2012-2013),
which is showing
maximum literate
population ratio .

11. Identifying Problem Statement
(Increasing the Literacy ratio)

12. It dropped from one per cent of the country’s income in the government’s
first Budget in 2014-15 to 0.62 per cent in 2017-18. Its share in the
Budget too has been slashed from 6.15 per cent to 3.7 per cent.
The share of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, a national programme for universal
elementary education, in the total allocation dropped to 29 per cent in
2017-18 from 31 per cent in 2016-17, which was two per cent less than
the previous year, as per an analysis by New Delhi-based think tank
Centre for Policy Research (CPR).

13. Budget
Allocation:
If we really want to know the
priorities of a government, instead
of going to their manifesto, we
should check their budget
allocation.
One major reason our literacy rates
have remained low or extremely
stagnant is that there is very little
allocation in the Budget.

14. Stakeholders
Stakeholders are:-
• Special Educator
• General Educator
• Resource Teachers
• Shadow Teachers
• Family
• Community
• Parents
• Peers
Responsibilities of stakeholders
• Adequate support to
families member
• Motivating to promote girls’
access to education
• Involved in the decision-
making process
• Dealing with negative
attitude
• Selecting special education
staff

15. Stakeholders

16. Stakeholders Description
The system has too many stakeholders – teachers,
students, administrators and even the Government.
While the main focus in on the ones who education is
being dispensed to, the children, even the imparters,
that is the teachers, aren’t happy with a lot of
instability in regulations, unwarranted discipline
imposed on them. And, in that bid to please all the
stakeholders, and failing at it, the essence of education
and literacy is lost. It’s the age-old saying of “Too many
cooks spoil the broth”.

17. The System Is Outdated
We need better policies, more interactive classroom
approach, more student-friendly learning
methodology, and better study models which would
focus on holistic and comprehensive learning, instead
of the flawed and narrow ‘let’s cram and vomit in
exam’ models.

18. How Can It Get Better?
Education Start-Ups:
• The statistics clearly show
how important it is for our
literacy rates to get better.
• Many online education
start-ups are working for
the literacy rates to soar.
They focus on building
interest in the formative
years and, hence, target the
younger age groups.

19. How To Improve Education System
Essential Components of a successful Education
System:
Better Standard
More Accountability
More Parent Involvement
Autonomous Structure
Updated Curriculum
Periodic Assessments

20. Follow the Delhi Model:
The Delhi
government’s model
on budget allocation
for education is a solid
example of prioritising
right. Their
programme ‘Mission
Buniyaad’ was aimed
to beat the poor
literacy rate.

21. Conclusion:
We must FOCUS on literacy ratio and study impact of higher education resources.
Conclusion:
We must FOCUS on increasing literacy rate and study impact of non-availability of higher
education resources.
Observations:
From the Indian map
1. It is clear that data on
literacy ratio is not available
in Telangana and Ladakh.
2. Above 80% in Kerala and
Mizoram who have best
literal population.

22. Summary:
Apart from above, the corporate sector in India has pitched in with the aim
of improving literacy, primarily in villages around their factories. For
example, J K group has helped over 29,000 citizens of India, mostly village
women, to move towards literacy – which means being able to sign their
name, read sign boards and handle money, in local languages in eight
different states. TATA group claims to have added approximately 250,000
literates using their Computer Based Functional Literacy (CBFL) method.
However, the shocking fact is that India, one of the foremost developing
countries of the world, has a literacy rate of 74%.
