Education is the single best development investment a country can make. It contributes to better health, higher incomes, and increased participation in community life. These social and economic returns have been proven to be particularly high when girls are educated.
The world community has been committed to achieving universal primary education since 1990. Two of the eight Millennium Development Goals-universal primary education and reducing the gender gap at all levels of education-underscore the importance of this issue and the importance of educating girls. UNICEF works tirelessly to ensure that every child – regardless of gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background or circumstances – has access to a quality education. We focus on gender equality and work towards eliminating disparities of all kinds. Our innovative programmes and initiatives target the world’s most disadvantaged children: the excluded, the vulnerable and the invisible.
Too many of the world’s children are out of school or receive spotty, sub-par educations. Each one of these children has dreams that may never be fulfilled, potential that may never be realized. By ensuring that every child has access to quality learning, we lay the foundation for growth, transformation, innovation, opportunity and equality.
Despite a marked increase in primary enrollment rates, especially among girls, more than 100 million children worldwide do not go to school. Adult literacy has also improved. However, some 770 million people, two-thirds of them women, still cannot read or write. Even for those who do attend school, many do not leave with basic skills due to under-resourced education systems and poor quality instruction. Barriers to access and completion are higher for girls, members of ethnic minorities, children living in geographic isolation, working children, children affected by conflict and disasters, children living with disabilities, and the very poor.
That's where Paritraan comes in! We are a team of Engineering students from BIT Mesra (as of now). We have developed a simple strategy - 'Encourage College students to take 2-3 hours/per week to teach poor and under privileged children.' No money no donation purely commitment purely dedication. You can too join us, just by helping children in places nearby you. Nothing more is required.
Unlike 'Teach For India' or 'Pestalozzi World' or 'India Orphanage Project' we follow a different model. Though they are truly dedicated team, we believe that our model fits best amongst the student community. Even professionals can contribute in a similar way. We encourage you to do whatever you can, wherever you can, whenever you can, howsoever you can!
