for the motion
Worthy chairperson, secretary and dear students
Today, I, Rahul, stand before you to speak for the motion on The Right to Education Act (RTE) is a realistic and achievable goal that will change the face of education in India. I submit that the RTE makes it obligatory on the state to guarantee right to education under it. It is to ensure compulsory admission, attendance, and completion of elementary education by every child of 6 to 14 years. Then financial constraints shall also be addressed properly. I feel very strongly that the three basic goals will greatly benefit the children coming from poor and marginalized families. These are (a) bringing children of marginalized sections into the ambit of school education, (b) ensuring that all schools and their teachers meet some specified norms and (c) ensuring that all children receive quality schooling free from any kind of discrimination.
In my opinion, education and literacy are the keys to many problems facing the people, Illiterate people are liable to be cheated, deceived and discriminated against. Also they fail to get the benefits of various govt, plans. If all Indians are literate, such possibilities will be eliminated. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that today the condition on the education front is not like what it was when India got independence Today almost all villages have schools in them, People, today, you'll see, are more awake towards the benefits of education. Seeing all this I strongly feel that with the passage of time RTE will change the face of education in India. The country shall definitely march towards a new dawn of progress due to education.
Thank you very much.
against the motion
Worthy chairperson, secretary and dear students
Today I. Harsh, stand before you to speak against the motion The Right to Education is a realistic and
achievable goal that will change the face of education in India My knowledgeable friend has drawn a rosy
and optimistic picture of our country's future in the field of education. There is no denying the fact that our
country has taken some very bold strides in spreading the education. And we have been seeing the
progress. But we have to go a long way to fully change the face of education in the country.
I would like to draw your attention to the wide gap between what is shown to us through various media and data and what actually is available. In fact, I personally feel that a satisfying picture is drawn before us through various data and statistics. It shows that everywhere there is happiness, progress and prosperity But we still see dropouts from schools, searching the trinkets in the heaps of garbage. Those living in slums don't go to school. There are villages where there are no schools, no teachers and nothing worth the name called 'a school. If I may not sound rude, personally feel that the reality stares us in the face when we actually visit the interiors of the country. We can see for ourselves how RTE is succeeding there! My knowledgeable opponent should be praised for giving you a good view. I wish that all were true. But my views are just the opposite I dr.x't think RTE will succeed in its mission unless we change our work culture and recognize the reality behind facts and figures. I, therefore, oppose the motion.
Thank you very much.
