SUMMARY OF THE AUDIO

India is in a mood of celebration as it makes strides in economic development and growth. The market in India is bouncing. Millions of children in our country are not going to schools. Instead, they become subject to untold misery and hardship, working in farms and factories. They live the lives of drudgery, serving against all odds uncured for, unprotected and unnoticed. It is necessary to appreciate that much of lives of ordinary citizens in our country are so integral to the lives of poor children and their sweat. It is their long hours of work, under conditions of total submission and servility, without any support and fear of abuse, insult and humiliation. The clothe which we wear to breathe child labor. Hundreds and thousands of children work in production of hybrid cotton seeds, wrapped in violence, embedded in worn out bodies, nausea of daily lives, knocking headaches, mental depression. The silk one wears and the process of sericulture has an abundance of children working in damp, dark, poorly ventilated, and have loud music playing in the background.

With the growing demand in the building and construction industry, children leave their villages to work on sites without water, sanitation and shelter, around brick kilns lifting head loads, brick by brick on the head and piling clay moulds to bake under the blazing sun. Lacking a societal norm in favor of their right to education multitudes of children are in the work force as child labor.

Poor parents are sending their children to schools even if there are not enough class rooms or schoolteachers, even when there is no drinking water or toilets, and even if the child is not treated well. We are witnessing an explosive demand for education in the country today with 75% of all school going children are attending government schools. In spite of the fact most State Government have issued orders that no child be denied admission for want of birth certificates, caste certificates, transfer certificates. There are many ways in which schools make it difficult for a child to survive in the system.

It must be the responsibility of the whole education system to give support to the child to enjoy the right to education and remove barriers in the process of children’s journey in completion of school. No child must be allowed to be pushed out of the school.

INTERPRETATION

1. EFFECTIVENESS IN TODAY’S SCENARIO:

The entire program of bringing out of school children into schools must be taken up in a campaign mode at the national level.

Physical verification of attendance registers by the local bodies and the School Education Committees and their authentication of this data before is passed to the next level of authority.

Arrangement for residential bridge camps, motivational centre’s and any other local initiatives that emerges in the process of campaign and mobilization needs to be taken up.

Mobilizing children back to schools is a complex task and there needs to be an active coordination between the labor revenue, police, welfare facilitated by educational department.

a) ADVANTAGES

Continuous process of physical verification of children.

Provision of residential facilities for children in difficult circumstances.

When children attend schools and are exposed to world of ideas and knowledge they gain the power to negotiate with authorities, the confidence to bargain effectively for their share in the national resources and all other necessities to live a life with dignity and self esteem.

b) DISADVANTAGES

Children below 14 years of age are working as a bonded labor rather than studying in school.

Poor people are not aware of their rights.

75% of school- going- children in India are attending government schools.

There are not enough classrooms and schoolteachers, drinking water facilities and toilet.

CONCLUSION:

The entire system of bringing out of school children into schools must be taken up in a campaign mode at the national level. All planning must base itself on an honest assessment and record of the actual retention of children in schools. It is more immediate sense schools are the only institutions which can keep children out of work and abolish child labor. Thus schools perform a radical function as they become protector of child rights. In fact the right place for children to be in is the school. And therefore, the battle for schools must be won!!
