WHY “RIGHT TO EDUCATION ACT” SHOULD BE ENFORCED??



Enforcement of any rule seems like the acts that were imposed during British rule before independence in INDIA.
But here I want to throw light on another aspect of R.T.E. act & its importance.
Our school   is only 6 months old institute & it is very obvious for any new institute or organization to face tough times initially. Apart from all those complexities that we were facing right from top most management level to all the descending levels of  the school hierarchy ,the difficult most part was to give instructions to K.G kids & our maids whom we used to call “DIDI”.
Though it was difficult for drivers, peons & watchmen also but not that difficult because most of them were educated up to middle or high school. But it was very hard to explain anything to those three
“DIDIS” not only for me but also for my teachers. Every  now and then teachers used to come to me bringing complaints of didis.
Ohhhh…..!!!!!
Suppose if someone locks you in a dark room, you are screaming a loud but no one is there to listen you.. what would you feel?
Exactly..that was my condition, I felt to scream out  but again the problem was they would not understand..
During first two months everything was happening for first time everyone was new to this system.. Actually there was not any system. We were gradually creating it & shaping everything like a potter. The whole system was new but our DIDIs were like new born babies who understands nothing but laugh or smile on every other thing.
For them it was difficult to shift from NIMARI ( local dialect) to HINDI or ENGLISH terminology. And for us it was hard to give up HINGLISH ( mixture of Hindi & English) & speak NIMARI..  Neither they  understood pure HINDI & nor did we  understood pure NIMARI. They would take a rough idea what we were trying to say.. sometimes they understood everything but not able to convey it to others. For me it became very difficult to convey a small little message to any  teacher especially when that message was not meant for all.
At last we came to conclusion that we should have a teaching class for servant staff . Especially to those who don’t know to read & write, we will also teach them English terminology.


Since then it is almost 3 months over and now our didis are able to read & write HINDI & ENGLISH alphabets. They even try to take permissions in English & they also teach formation of alphabets to K.G students..
It seems tough times in giving instructions have gone since then..
They now at least understands almost everything but I still make them repeat any message in front of me before conveying it to teachers just to avoid miss-communication and to make sure that
every information from my cabin is conveyed in a good manner.
I'm also trying to teach them use of computer..but it will take long time but I hope I will do it...
Now I understood why Right To Education is so very important for
our society on the other hand. I hope every one understands it.
