Editor’s note – This article discusses the primary educational set up in India and how governmental investment or rather the insufficiency of it has been affecting primary education among other things.

Author’s note – In India, a major fraction of children is deprived from primary education and is thus, driven away from the Child’s Right to Learning. The budgetary distribution of funds for education has been, and still continues to be, very meager. No doubt, India is paying the price for the failure to pay in investment on education The amount of schooling and the quality of teaching children receive are indeed very insufficient for gaining mastery of basic literacy and numeric skills. This seems to be applicable for both the educationally advanced and backward states. Although the constitution has provided a large emphasis for the provision of primary education in India and its expansion over time, the system is characterised by low and enormous unevenness of achievements.

Editor’s note – This article discusses the primary educational set up in India and how governmental investment or rather the insufficiency of it has been affecting primary education among other things.

Author’s note – Industrial education teaches particular skills to students that communicate to diverse careers. Students are required to acquire the knowledge and abilities necessary for making a successful change to the place of work. Democratic schools are on an increase as people start anticipating the fact that students can be very well relied upon to learn as learning is a natural process. It is a place where students and faculties are all equal, based in a direct democratic method and individuals are responsible for their education, deciding how to utilize their time.

A Guide to Free Education Abroad: American Undergraduate Studies

Editor’s note – This is the first part of the official ‘SMU!’ sponsored series titled “A Guide to Free education abroad”. In this series we’ll explore the various opportunities that exist for Indian students seeking free education abroad. In this part of the series, we explore the opportunities for free undergraduate education in the United States.

Author’s note – I am an Indian national who’s studied in a national university in the US through scholarship. Here, I want to spread the lesser known information on how you can comfortably study in the US at either no cost or an affordable price (mostly involving just your living expenses). I personally recommend getting your undergraduate education in an international atmosphere since it not only gives you great opportunity for intellectual expression but also shapes you into a globizen who has had international exposure at a young age.
