R. Solai Raja, S. Banumathi, T. Dhanabalan
Abstract :
Various types of pre primary schools are available in India and more children are now attending pre–school indicating an increase in demand for education at this stage. This overall increase raises questions such as whether this demand has increased everywhere. Are all children attending pre–schools if they are available? Which types of preschools do children belonging to different socio–economic groups attend? Who are the children totally excluded from pre primary schooling? Drawing on quantitative data collected in the National Family Health Survey, DISE (District Information System for Education) and the Seventh All India Education Survey as well as qualitative data collected through CREATE’s community and school survey in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh conducted in 2008, this policy ief presents an analysis of pre–primary education in India and recommends policies for the improved provision of equitable and quality pre primary schooling. With this backdrop the present paper has been made an attempt to picturise the situation of primary school education in India.
