Importance of Free Education in India

1. Importance of Free Education in India Education is an important and necessary journey of life for every person. From childhood to young age, education never leaves your hand. It walks side by side. To become successful & to make a good career, one has to be well educated. Need of education is like watering a plant, one of the important nutrients. If you avoid watering your life, you'll grow, but will lack in capabilities & fruits of life. There are some benefits of free education.  Benefits of a literate nation: One of the major aims of every country is to educate its population. The key to a civilized population is via literacy. When people have the ability to read and write, they will automatically have the ability to understand their country as well as the politics of their country. As a result, they are better equipped to get ahead in life.  Challenges faced by the free class policy of India:Free education is necessary in India, that’s why there are many societies start a provision for free classes in India, as most poverty stricken families do not have the money and the means to send their kids to school. In India, many kids after the age of 7 are seen as potential laborers whose labor can be exploited. Families in urgent need of money find it more productive to send their kids to be employed rather than sending them to school. Free education will therefore give these families the opportunity to send their kids to school.  A dire need for quality free classes in government schools: One of the major obstacles to free education in India is low quality education in Government schools. Parents as well as students are disillusioned by the method of teaching in government schools. Most teachers are very dispassionate and do not take the pains to teach the kids. As a result, the kids see no benefit in studying from such schools. They find education cumbersome rather than empowering. In such cases, most kids find it more productive to work for a living rather than go to school.  It is these conditions of education which need a sweeping change. Education needs to become standardized as well as equal all over the country. Government school teachers need to be evaluated on a constant basis to ensure that they are teaching students in the correct fashion. The mode of teaching should also be updated so that students are up to date with the latest technology. When these points are taken and strictly followed, upper poverty line families will happily send their kids to get educated. This will give the students better opportunities in their lives which their parents never thought possible. Therefore, the correct form of free education in India is a need of the hour. The sooner it is implemented correctly, the better it will be for its citizens.
