Primary education is the foundation on which the development of every citizen and the nation as a whole built on. In recent past, India has made a huge progress in terms of increasing primary education enrolment, retention, regular attendance rate and expanding literacy to approximately two thirds of the population. India’s improved education system is often cited as one of the main contributors to the economic development of India. At the same time, the quality of elementary education in India has also been a major concern.
Free and compulsory education to all children up to the age fourteen is constitutional commitment in India. The Parliament of India has recently passedRight to Education Act through which education has become fundamental right of all children of age group 6-14 years. The country is yet to achieve the elusive goal of Universalisation of Elementary education (UEE), which means 100 percent enrolment and retention of children with schooling facilities in all habitations. It is to fill this gap that the Government has launched the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in 2001, one of the largest such programmes in the world.
In this era of information technology, ICT is playing commendable role to bridge the gap between haves and have not’s in the education system, particularly in rural India. The primary education vertical of India Development Gateway is an attempt to empower the children and teachers by providing ample resource materials to achieve the goal of Universalization of Elementary Education in India.
