UNIVERSALIZATION IN EDUCATION: MEANING Universalization in education is the ability of all people to have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, gender, background or physical and mental disabilities. The term is used both in college admission for the middle and lower classes, and in assistive technology for the disabled. Some critics find this idea an example of "political correctness". In order to facilitate the access of education to all, countries have right to education.
• Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) is an initiative of the Government of India, in partnership with State governments, which seeks to universalize enrolment in grades 9 and 10 across the country. • It supports the expansion of existing schools, the building of new schools to reach underserved areas, investments in quality improvement, and contributions to recurrent and capital costs. • The goal is to universalize entry into secondary school by the end of 2017 and achieve universal completion of grade 10 by 2020.
• RMSA responds to the fact that no more than 60% of all Indian children complete secondary school and net enrolment rates are little more than 40%. • Around half of those completing secondary school fail to acquire high level Board qualifications and demonstrate mastery of the national curriculum
Classroom problems • Disrespect • disobedience • harassment • aggression are the most common disciplinary problems.
• Students come late to class • Students behave rudely in class. • Group projects aren’t working. • Students cheat on assignments and exams. • Students respond to course content and classroom dynamics in emotional and unproductive ways.
