Elementary Education is the first years of formal, structured education that occurs during childhood. In most countries, it is compulsory for children to receive primary education though in many jurisdictions it is permissible for parents to provide it. The major goals of elementary education are achieving basic literacy and numeracy amongst all their students, as well as establishing foundations in science, geography, history and other social sciences. In India, since independence, the central and state governments have been expanding the provision of primary formal and non-formal education to realize the goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE). Several central and state level initiatives have been in operation from the early 1980s. The current status of primary education in India is well reviewed in the present volume. The constitutions provisions, planning, policy framework and various initiatives for elementary education are discussed in detail. Conceptualized and written in a lucid and readable style, this book will be an essential reading tool for educationists, policy makers and teachers.
