"The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." ROBERT MAYNERD HUTCHINS
Education they say is the best investment. A well educated person has more opportunities to grow and more talent to help a country grow. Primary education thus, is the deciding factor in the life of an individual. The values and the habits inculcated in a child during his childhood remains with him forever. That is why maximum focus is given to the primary education of a child.
The Pre-Schools {Preparatory Schools} are the first step that a child takes independently .Children between the age of 2-4 years are generally sent to Pre-schools. Here children learn to sit in a school and take part in fun activities which do not burden them too much. This is a child's first introduction to schooling. The Pre-Schools in India are growing at the rate of 40% annually owing to the increasing number of working women unable to provide their children essential early education.
Nursery Education again is very important for the proper growth of a child. The 4 year old child is sent to nursery. The importance of nursery education can be estimated from the fact that The Indian Supreme Court has taken special measures to ensure that a child receives it in a rightful manner. Nursery education imparts knowledge to the children in a playful manner. They are taught in a creative fashion which ensures that they learn for life.
The Primary or Elementary Schooling in India is one of the most important phases of education. Elementary Education in India means first eight years of schooling from the age of six. The Government of India has made the Elementary Education compulsory for each and every child of the Country. The Government of India has also launched various programmes for the implementation of compulsory education act. SARVA SIKSHA ABHIYAAN is one such programme.
