It is the time for paying the fee for the final examinations. Our government gives us right to be educated up to the age of 14. So when we cross this threshold, this right stands cancelled.
Government is spending about Rs.42,000 Cr for education, but even government run schools charge fees for admission and examination. Our poor students get bicycles on the name of promoting education in rural areas especially for girls, but without examination they find it a bit tough to be motivated for studies, even if they want to be.
Due to this travesty of our education system, we found two girls of class X in a state run government high school, Udhanapur, Koria (CG), whose single parent was not in a condition to pay their daughters' fees for the final examination. Though the amount paid by 'Parivartan' was a mere Rs.325 each, however it has a value for many of the rural people in India.
We wish the girls all the luck for their examination and for their parent to get a source of income, to get them enrolled next year, at least in a government school.
