Room for You and Me


We can know the importance of quality, equality, and equity in education even seeing these words. As simple as, that all are important and every child should enjoy it. But never know how complex it is when all these three term are put forward as an interrelated entity and should be made inherent part of education system simultaneously. The dichotomy between quality and equality need more lobbing and will to overcome it. The contradicting factor should be studied, analyzed, and resolved by the entire stakeholders of concern. With Neo-liberal approaches in education there is a risk of undermining the govt. educational institute and also exposed to the risk that the economic status of the parents may determine the type of child’s education.  In trying to bring about equality in education universalization of primary education should not be mistaken for uniformity of education but encourages and appreciate the diversity within the education system. This will encourage children of all section to come to school as the system were more sensitivity to the languages they spoke, the culture they practices and the religion they believed. Making the society to accept gender equality, caste equality, and classless society would accelerate in bringing equality in education. Outmost care should be taken in determining quality of the education. Equity in education is one of the most challenging tasks in the scenario of Indian education. The concept of who are the stalk holders and what degree of responsibility and stalk they hold is not well defined in our context. Many vested interest will try to influence the degree and ways how equity factor plays in our society. Nevertheless, Education system in all its complexity have a room for bringing desired change.
