In India, a significant percentage of the nearly 12 million children who are not in school are female, a disparity driven by various socio-economic factors. Cultural norms often prioritize boys' education, leading families to invest limited resources in their sons rather than daughters. Economic barriers further exacerbate this issue, as families facing financial hardships may see educating boys as a more viable investment for future income. Additionally, safety concerns regarding girls commuting to school, coupled with a lack of adequate school facilities in rural areas, discourage enrollment. In contrast, Lovely Professional University in Punjab stands out as an institution committed to inclusivity and quality education for all students, including females. The university has implemented supportive policies, such as scholarships specifically for women and mentorship programs, to empower female students in their academic and career pursuits. Safety is a priority on campus, with measures in place to ensure a secure environment for all. Furthermore, they encourages participation in extracurricular activities and community engagement, fostering personal growth and leadership skills among female students. Overall, LPU creates a nurturing and empowering environment that addresses educational barriers and promotes the development of its female students.

✨Topic-Literacy Rate 💫 India's literacy rate has seen a remarkable increase, now standing at approximately 77.7% as of 2023, reflecting a growth of 5% from previous years. This achievement underscores the collective efforts in enhancing educational access and quality across the nation. While we celebrate this progress, it's essential to recognize that challenges remain, particularly in rural areas and among marginalized communities. Let's continue to advocate for inclusive education and work towards a future where every individual has the opportunity to learn and grow. **The Indian government has implemented several initiatives to improve literacy rates: 1)Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA): Launched in 2001, this program aims to provide free and compulsory education to children aged 6-14, significantly increasing enrollment rates. 2)National Literacy Mission (NLM): Established in 1988, it focuses on eradicating illiteracy among adults through functional literacy programs. 3)New India Literacy Programme (NILP): Initiated in 2022, this scheme aims to cover 5 crore non-literates aged 15 and above over five years, with a financial outlay of ₹1,037.90 crores. 4)Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao: This initiative promotes girls' education to bridge the gender gap in literacy. 5)Digital India Initiatives: These programs integrate technology into education, enhancing access to digital resources and e-learning. These efforts reflect a commitment to achieving universal literacy and addressing socio-economic barriers to education. #YouthLiteracy #LiteracyMatters #EducationForAll Axis Colleges Degree2Destiny

GIRLS👩 EDUCATION📚:- REALITY OF OUR SOCIETY👥 This video shows the mirror to the society and proves that this small mentality of the society has lost many good and talented scientists, engineers and officers.The society always gave first priority to the marriage of girls rather than their education. That's true countless individuals settle for compromise actually we should seek solution not sacrifices. I often read many slogans in this context on the school walls. betiyon" ko mat rakho nirakshar "betiyaan" bhee banengee badi afsar. "ek betee padhegee to saat peedhiyaan taregee" But in real life and at the ground level, the implementation is not even a few percent, which is a matter of seriousness. The female education rate of India at 65.6% is significantly lower than the world average at 79.7%. statistics also reveal that India still has nearly 145 Million women, who are unable to read or write. On average 129 million girls are out of school, including 32 million of primary school age, 30 million of lower-secondary school age. In India, the literacy rate for people aged seven and above is 74.04%. The male literacy rate is 82.14% while the female literacy rate is 65.46%. The Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) for higher education in India is 26.30%. The GER is the percentage of people aged 18-23 who are enrolled in higher education institutions. In India, there are more than 700 universities and 37000 colleges. (Last Census Statistics 2011) I have a humble request to this society and all the parents that marriage of children is your moral responsibility, but along with this, pay special attention to the education of girls, who knows, they may have hidden talent like Kalpana Chawla of the future..

International Women’s Day is dedicated to celebrating achievements of women and marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. In India, historically, women who excelled in the fields of arts and humanities have been highly respected and praised as spiritualists and saints. However, their role as knowledge producers and their contribution to education is rarely mentioned. Even in the mainstream discourse on women’s education, we usually only find mentions of upper-caste women who operated within strict norms of Brahmanical patriarchy to be recognised as educated. Such a casteist and exclusionary reading of history has caused the erasure of several significant contributions of women to education and knowledge production in fields like science, literature, medicine etc. This International Women’s Day, we are reposting the video series by Nirantar, which attempts to demystify the role of women in the history of education, by focusing on women whose lives tested the norms of “ideal” womanhood. Through the lens of education, the first video in this series looks at six historical figures who were mystified as saints and devotees between 6 BC and 12 CE, but whose lives as scholars went much beyond that. These women generated and disseminated their knowledge through informal channels, oral traditions and literary forms of poetry, prose, autobiographies, long-form fiction and short stories. 

India’s education system has seen significant changes since independence, focusing on universal education and gender parity. The Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER), which reflects total enrollment at a specific education level as a percentage of the official school-age population, shows a national GER of 103.4% at the primary level (classes 1-5), with girls (104.8%) slightly outpacing boys (102.1%). At the elementary level (classes 1-8), the GER stands at a healthy 100.1%, although state-level disparities remain. However, a concerning drop is observed at the secondary level (classes 9-10) with a national GER of 79.6%, and a more drastic decline at the higher secondary level (classes 11-12), where it falls to 57.6%. This analysis highlights several urgent policy needs, including the development of transition support mechanisms, enhancing regional equity, gender-specific interventions, infrastructure improvements, quality enhancement initiatives, socio-economic support systems, robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and increased community engagement. 👉 Read : https://bit.ly/41aMuQv #indianeducation #genderinequality #sustainabledevelopment

👨🎓Read this🎓 https://lnkd.in/dtzfRYhJ My small take……🚸📚 🏕Summer Break: A Time for Reflection on Education Equity in India 🇮🇳 As schools gear up for summer break, it's a time for students to relax and recharge. But for many children in India, this break also exposes a harsh reality: unequal access to quality education. Here's a glimpse into the data-driven disparity: Enrollment Gap📈: While primary school enrollment rates are high (around 95%), the numbers dip sharply for secondary and higher education. A National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) report indicates a vast difference - 89% of children from the richest fifth attend school compared to 79% from the poorest fifth in rural areas .This gap widens further at higher levels. Rural-Urban Divide🛤🛣: The disparity between rural and urban areas is significant. According to UNESCO data, the gross enrollment ratio (GER) for higher secondary education in rural India is a mere 55.8%, compared to 88.3% in urban areas. This translates to limited opportunities for rural students. Digital Divide🧑💻👩💻: The pandemic highlighted the digital divide in education. A 2020 Oxfam India report found that only 10% of the wealthiest families have access to digital learning tools, while over 320 million young people lack them. This excludes many students from online learning opportunities. These are just a few statistics that paint a grim picture. Unequal access translates into unequal outcomes. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to drop out, limiting their future prospects. What can be done? ✅Focus on Quality: Increasing access is crucial, but so is ensuring quality education. This means well-trained teachers, proper infrastructure, and resources in all schools.🏢 📳Bridge the Digital Divide: Government initiatives and private collaborations can provide affordable devices and internet access to bridge the digital gap.♻️ 📚Scholarship Programs: Scholarships targeted at underprivileged students can ease the financial burden and encourage higher education.🌱 #masalpurblockkarauli

Equity vs. Equality in Education in India In the context of education in India, the concepts of equity and equality often come up in discussions about access and opportunities for all students. While they are related, they address different aspects of fairness and justice in education. -> Equality in Education Equality in education means providing every student with the same resources and opportunities. This approach focuses on treating all students the same, regardless of their background, socio-economic status, or personal circumstances. However, equality does not always lead to fair outcomes. In a country as diverse as India, students come from various socio-economic backgrounds, and their needs can be vastly different. Equal distribution of resources does not account for these differences and often leaves disadvantaged groups behind. ->Equity in Education Equity in education focuses on fairness and aims to provide resources based on the specific needs of each student. This approach recognizes that some students require more support than others to achieve the same level of educational success. For instance, students from rural areas, low-income families, or marginalized communities might need additional resources like scholarships, remedial classes, or infrastructure improvements. In India, equity in education seeks to bridge the gaps caused by socio-economic disparities. Policies aimed at equity include: Reservation policies to backward classes, financial aid for students from economically weaker sections, special programs to improve access to quality education in rural and remote areas, inclusive education to ensure that children with disabilities have access to appropriate educational facilities and support. #Education #India #Edtech #Equality #Equity

Female enrolment in higher education has increased by 32% since 2014-15. {acc to All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE)} That means an increase of 50 lakh students! The recently released 2021-2022 AISHE highlights promising growth in the enrollment of marginalized groups in Indian higher education since 2014-15. The data shows that female student enrollment has increased by 50 lakh to 2.07 crore, marking a significant 32% rise. In addition, total enrollment in the Northeast states grew 28.5% to 12.02 lakh, with higher female enrollment than male enrollment. But what made things better for girls in education? Here are some important reasons: 1. Programs like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao made people understand and gave girls more chances to go to school.    2. There are now more colleges and universities, which means more spots and opportunities for everyone. 3. More girls are going to high school, which is an important step in their education. 4. People in cities and smaller towns are starting to think differently about girls' education. 5. Now, there are more women's colleges, safe ways to travel, and places to stay. To keep this good trend going, we need to keep doing these things: 1. We should keep telling everyone, especially in rural areas, that boys and girls are equal and should get the same chances to learn. 2. It's really important to make sure girls feel safe and protected in school. 3. Giving scholarships can help more girls join school and continue their studies. 4. We should make sure schools have good buildings and things students need as more and more students come. 5. Having more female teachers can show girls that they can do anything they want with education. The AISHE data confirms that India's higher education system is making strides in bridging the gender divide. However, issues around curriculum relevance, infrastructure gaps, and faculty shortages persist. Sustained efforts to build world-class institutions will empower India to harness its demographic dividend fully.
