Possible Involvement of Basic Learning in Rural Development

Abstract

The goal of education is to make life easier and improve the socio-economic and political functioning of the human. Education convert person into human capital. Investment in education is most precious of all assets. Education is considered as greater protection than a permanent army. But the education has been the elite in India. Unequal education has resulted in inequality of learning and learning crises. So the biggest issue for the global education system is a “learning crisis” according per the World Bank. This issue is best demonstrated by India, which has the biggest education system in the world (behind china) (after china). Over 95 percent of children aged 6 to 14 years are in school, yet over half of pupils in grade 5 in rural regions cannot read at a grade 2 levels, and less than one-third can perform simple division. Thus in this article we have made an attempt to examine and evaluate the nature and effect of formal education in rural socio-economic development of India.
