Where do we stand in the global era of education? Is education meant only for a child, no not at all. It should be for every citizen of this glorious nation. Yes education should be of civic sicence, education of social and religious respect and educating the people in mutual help. Where do these street children stand? Can't we educate the poor roming on street about awareness on use of condoms, ignorence which create more children living on street and the problem therein are not forseen by these ignorant people? Is there a need to educate corporate or celebrities to contribute 10% of their income for survival street children? Don't they feel it is all our responsibility? An unknow man can donate crores of Rupee to religious mission but they can't worry about poor children. Every politian says that today's child is tomorrow's wealth of our nation but they misuse thousands of crores while Education is required for every citizen of our nation about how to live and to let others to live. Despite all these we rank at the top of the world's academics which just looks like an unbalaced and diseased body. Work for the nation's growth and not for individual growth - which automatically makes our nation as the World Knowledge Centre!

Yes. Education should be made compulsary. People who want their children to be educated only in Private Schools, they do so because they don't believe in the institutions being run by the Government. Why does not the Government take necessary steps to improve the quality in education rather than concentrating on other unwanted things. Why doesn't it give free education till the children complete their schoolings!

I have a doubt can anybody clearify what is education? Is it that education is just confined to Schooling? Is schooling is the only way of educating children/ a person? As far as I know that is what being done and when student passes out from an institution he is called to be educated; but is it true?

I think it is time to review the Indian notion of education. As it is not empowering us, yes, only a few make it. But those few are the privileged ones. So the system does not do much for the individual, does it?

Education is a birth right. Everyone deserves it. It is a pity to see kids deprived of the vast knowledge that they could explore. If we still don't take any steps for it, then our nation will never a developed one.

The global era has changed over the years and with that has come the responsibility to shoulder the outcomes that will in future decide how each survives in the new competitve world where survival becomes the necessity for everyone. In this global world, few factors which are a right now may become a privilege if we are not able to handle them and in those few factors education may be listed. Education is not only about academics but about all round development and this will come as we make provisions for them.There needs to be inclusion of everyone in the process which has to be diverse. Education then does not become a privilege but a right.
