India's Learning crisis is not news ..

                The National Achievement Survey of 2017 tell us about the literacy rate of India ,one of the three students of class 3 cannot read small text with comprehension and  that one in two students in class 3 cannot even use math’s to solve their daily life problems which seems pathetic in the current scenario. These findings are from the 2018 ASER report are even more stark . There is only a 50 percent of the children in class 5 in rural India could read a class 2 level text book , and there is only 28 percent of students of class 5 was able to solve a division problem.


                 But when extractly does this learning difficulty begin is the real  question ? ad the ASER data from the year 2018 reveals some of the answer to this .For instance ,42.7 per cent of rural children in class 1 was not even able to recognize the letters in their medium of instruction and about 35.7 per cent was  not even able to recognize the numbers from 1 to 9. The data from the 2017 tells us  about that the origin of this crisis  which lies even before the  children enters in the  class 1 .
  

        Children in India are not simply yet ready to go to the school and also a well designed and well delivered pre-primary programme  is the most effective way to bridge the learning gap which happens to them in the current state of the situation  .However the public system in India has been unable to provide quality early childhood education to those aged between 3-6  years and even more specifically to those who  aged between 5 -6 . Pre schooling is but one of six service delivered through the Anganwadi netwok system  and is arguably the least prioritized. An anganwadi worker is tasked with a  multiple responsibilities, making it difficult to ensure the sufficient instructional time .
