Education Works as an Effective Strategy for Elimination of the Problem of child Labour

Mr. Pramod Joshi

Abstract :

There is need to ing about wide spread public awareness towards initiating community action in promoting school enrolment. Education helps a child to develop cognitively, emotionally and socially, and needless to say, education is often gravely reduced by child labour. We need to create a conducive climate in which community people at large would not tolerate the child labour in any form any more. There is need to ing about awareness among the poor parents so that they will develop a willingness to make any sacrifice to get their children educated. It is possible only when they are convinced about the significance of education. This should be accompanied with vocational training depending upon their own choice. Preparation should also be made for sustaining education outside of formal school buildings, using community facilities and strengthening alternative education through a variety of community channels. In passing the 86th Amendment to the Constitution of India, education is a fundamental right. This has implications for fulfilment of the obligation of the State to ensure that every child is in school. Since most children who do not attend schools are engaged in some form of work or another, it is essential that there is a comprehensive plan to withdraw children from work and mainstream them into schools. In other words the labour department has a crucial role to abolish child labour in all its forms and ensure that children enjoy their right to education. This is indeed a challenging task, but can be attained with concerted effort and a clear perspective.
