Dreams..... Ideas..... Action.....



Hello Friends,



You must have seen many school dropout children in your society, what is the future you are expecting for them? As you are aware tomorrow�s world is of skilled labour & multitasky people. One will not be able to earn bread without education and technical skills. India has the largest youth population in the world. How many of them do you think are skilled and educated? If educated, to what level? How is their formal education going to help them?



Let us talk about the effects of leaving dropouts to their fate. They have to work as unskilled labour with less salary, which would not be sufficient for survival, especially for the urban residents. Studies show that many are psychologically not prepared to take up unskilled profession. Rather than working as unskilled labour they prefer to indulge in fast growth. And the way chosen for it is robbery, malpractices and other illegal activities. To discuss, many ill effects are there of dropouts and unskilled labour in the society.



To know the solution for overcoming this problem let us first find out reasons for dropping out of schools and colleges. Few reasons are some students do not understand or are not interested in certain subjects like maths, science, languages etc. They do not give attention to them and simply fail in their exams. In some cases their abilities are not properly identified and they are put in wrong streams. For example, a student who is good at social sciences is asked to study technical courses, which he may not like and there lies a chance of failing or dropping out of it. After few years when one lags behind slowly looses interest and goes into depression without knowing what to do next.



This shows that there is an urgent need to put the dropouts back on track. The track can be of both academic education and technical education. Government of India has a very good scheme under �Sarva Siksha Abhiyaan� and it is called �National Open School�. A dropout above 14 years of age is eligible for Xth standard exam and has to study only 5 subjects of ones choice. Weekly 3 classes are conducted in various centres of Hyderabad/Secunderabad. The fees is Rs.1200/- inclusive of study material, contact classes and exam fee.



If u come across school droupouts kindly motivate them by providing the above information, the admission for the academic year 2010-11 will close in the month of August, 2010. Address of the National Open School centres in India can be located on internet.
