UN Report on Impact of Social Inequality On Education

Social inequality impacts schooling, says UN
Social inequality has a major impact on the kind of schooling children receive and poses a significant challenge to provide all children with equal learning opportunities, according to a report released by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). “The data reveal how social inequality affects a child’s opportunity to learn. And clearly, no country – rich or poor – is immune to these disparities,” Hendrik van der Pol, director of UNESCO’s Institute for Statistics, said. The report, which is based on a survey of 7,600 schools in 11 countries in Latin America, Asia and North Africa, reveals a particularly glaring gap between the resources available to urban and rural schools. In India, the report found that 27% of village schools have electricity compared to 76% of schools in towns or cities. Only about half of the rural schools surveyed have enough toilets for girls and fewer than 4 per cent have a telephone. In Peru, fewer than half of village schools are equipped with electricity, a library or toilets for boys or girls. Yet, in urban areas, nearly all schools have electricity, 65 per cent have enough lavatories and 74%t have libraries. In general, village schools are in greater need of repair, according to the survey results. In Brazil, half the pupils in villages sit in run-down classrooms compared to fewer than 30 per cent of pupils in urban establishments. The survey also found wide variations in how much parents were expected to contribute financially. In Tunisia, the parents of one-third of pupils were asked to pay for textbooks. This was the case for 24% of pupils in Argentina and almost 10% in India. Sri Lanka was the only country to provide textbooks for free to virtually all students. “It is disturbing to think that students get more or less resources based on where they live. But that is just part of the story,” says Yanhong Zhang, one of the authors of the report. “The inequalities in school resources are linked to their socio-economic status. In effect, these children are subject to a double-jeopardy – with fewer resources at home and in school.” According to the study, teachers and principals in schools serving socially-disadvantaged children tend to report lower levels of pupil motivation and more behavioural problems. In these schools, teachers were generally dissatisfied with salary, parental support, class size and access to classroom materials. The UNESCO survey was carried out in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, India, Malaysia, Paraguay, Peru, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tunisia and Uruguay.

#Teachers' Salaries are Low.
#Teachers are not a respected comunity any more
#Promotions are limited in Teachership
#They can't go abroad by being a teacher in India

Living with Goodness

While on the morning round at Dumuriput,at about 6am.I Saw a
tribal holding a closed bag and saying that he has poached a bird
which will make an important medicine. It was tied in a bag.I
tried to see it through my lens from a small hole and clicked it.
Having a look at it , Lo! I had got a call to act as an owl was at me , crying for help to
get freedom and fly. I convinced the man saying that he can take
money from me to buy medicines and in exchange gift the bird.
Thanks mother.He agreed and I paid Rs50/-. I wanted to free the
bird. Brought the bird Home at Jeypore, served food(fish) and water. Then
asked old timers wat to do ? My mother advised me to keep it
carefully in a ventilated place for the day and free the bird at
dark night(Because owls cant see during the day and there are
enough chances that the poor bird will be killed in else way) in
the same place from where it was brought.

I followed. The happy bird was set free in nature . This activity
of mine is not uncommon but everytime I perform such activities , my joy keeps on
increasing.

From Mags&Books

From Mags&Books

Friends , We read many magazines and books of our interest . There is a need to share the important lines and verses from those readings for our enrichment . In this section we would be posting the findings from our readings . However we would request you to send your readings too. Please start sending your writings to :koraputonline@gmail.com

Here is the first posting from us:

Magazine: Covert.

This is a new magazine that has reached the stands today . The magazine is edited by Seema Mustafa . The chairman & Director of the magazine is M.J.Akbar. The magazine is priced at Rs.20/- and is published fortnightly. While giving us its definition on A Point of View , the mag, says that Some Africans called MK .Gandhi , a racist . And hence You Can’t ua point of view. And which is why the mag would arm its reader with knowledge . Hence it says that Covert- Life Comes to News.

The first line that I read is from the pen of M.J.Akbar himself . This reads :

Old Rules get Old , because they have legs to walk through generations. Time , then , to recall one of the oldest: When you are dead , lie down.
Further while giving his view points on politicians from Rahul Gandhi to Mayavati , M.J. says : The candidates may be dead . The Ghosts dance on . We will have more from this mag. In our next posting.

Chakrapani Parichha-A Writer with Difference


School libraries play a great role in building dreams in the children . And Chakrapani Parichha , the writer of more than 100 detective novels and a recognized play writer with more than 50 radio plays to his credit was born in 1974 at the age of 18 years . While recalling his childhood days Mr.Parichha who is now a school teacher in Boipariguda block of Koraput district , said that it was the little school library in his lesser known school in the same village which turned out to be instrumental in giving him a wide horizon to explore into the world of his dreams . There were good number of books on the life of great people , novels , story books and literary magazines made available by the teachers for the children in those days , he recalled. While teachers and other elders use things like toys to divert the children from shouting and creating disturbances in the modern times , his teacher took support of books from the school library to keep them occupied , he added.This had created more and more opportunity to read all the books in the library before writing the first detective story book “Gotiye Mrutyura Sandhanare” . He had not looked back since . While books after books got published by the publishers like Meghamala Publications from far off places , strength of readers was also growing in the region for his books . Recalling those days when the postman in Boipariguda was asking for the first book from the packet that was being sent by the publishers, he said that the postman was the first reader and a promoter of good writing among the masses .The revolution in the literary world in the region that was brought by Mr.Parichha was like the history raised to the power of children's dream , Narayan Panda , eminent writer and literary observer from Koraput said while drawing the spirit of his words from a great Greek writer. 'Pakhi Payeen Gitotiye' , the recently published collection of Mr. Parichha's immortal poems was the imprint of such a revolution , he added.
