Detailed Description

This topic was concerned me for a long time since the time I was teacher. The implementation of mass promotion under RTE (Right to education act) has affected the quality of the education system. Not failing students up to 8th standard definitely increases the quantity of students studying in our schools but it has also resulted in the quality of education going down. Through the experience of being a educator I have had a first hand experience in this area and I have tried to presents these ideas in my project by being an unbiased observer. Education system in India In our Indian education system, certain practicesprevail and are still followed. RTE must have been set up with noble intentions for sure but since its implementation things have gone haywire. There were certain things which were incorporated in Indian education system in past which needs to be changed and I am concerned about them. My project focuses on these malpractices and create awareness towards it. • Our education system promotes rat race among us. • Medium of language of our education system (Research towards this scenario suggests that students getting their education in • mother tongue perform better with respect to those who chose English or Hindi or any foreign language). • Lack of innovative and creative thought process • Too much focus on getting higher paid jobs than generating entrepreneurial skills. • Mass promotion up to 8th Standard. This rule of promoting students till class 8th is certainly depreciating the quality of education. according to surveys conducted in 2012 by an NGO suggest that 58.2% of class 5th standard may not fullfill the needs of 3rd standard. students studying in our schools but it has also resulted surveys conducted in 2012 by an NGO suggest that in the quality of education going down. Through the 58.2% of class 5th standard may not fulfill the needs of 3rd standard. • These are major areas of my concern and motivation to make a movie, trying create awareness in the society about the ill effects of mass promotion.
