माता-पिता एवं शिक्षक के बीच सहयोग के माध्यम से आधारभूत शिक्षा को बढ़ावा देना
प्राथमिक विद्यालयों में नामांकन में प्रगति होने के बावजूद, ग्रामीण भारत में 50% से अधिक विद्यार्थी मूल साक्षरता हासिल करने में असफल रहते हैं, जबकि 5वीं कक्षा के अंत तक 44% विद्यार्थियों में अंकगणित कौशल का अभाव होता है। ग्रामीण उत्तर प्रदेश में किए गए एक यादृच्छिक प्रयोग के आधार पर, इस लेख में पाया गया है कि माता-पिता और शिक्षकों के बीच सहयोगात्मक तथा भागीदारीपूर्ण दृष्टिकोण के माध्यम से सामुदायिक भागीदारी से स्कूलों में जवाबदेही बढ़ती है, और बच्चों की बुनियादी शिक्षा में उल्लेखनीय सुधार होता है।
Enhancing foundational learning through parent-teacher collaboration
Despite advancements in primary school enrolment, over 50% of pupils in rural India fail to achieve core literacy, while 44% lack numeracy skills at the end of grade 5. Based on a randomised experiment in rural Uttar Pradesh this article finds that community participation, facilitated through a collaborative and participatory approach between parents and teachers, enhances accountability in schools, and significantly improves children’s foundational learning.
It runs in the family: Parents’ education and child learning outcomes
Early life learning is known to influence later life outcomes like schooling, employment, and income. It is thus vital to identify strategies to enhance child learning in schools. This article examines the effects of parental education on child learning outcomes by leveraging the variation in access to schooling for parents arising out of the implementation of a national school construction policy in India.
