 The rapid growth of the Indian economy in the recent past and the compulsion to sustain it is forcing the Indian government to accelerate the process of developing all the branches of the Indian education system. Despite all the efforts to expand the education system in India, access, equity and quality of education in India continue to haunt the policy makers till this date. This has largely been due to the widespread poverty and various prejudices.

In addition to the propagation of private, fee-paying schools in India, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a crucial role in providing educational services, especially in un-served and under-served communities. Educational NGOs in India have launched programs that have had positive impacts in terms of both access and quality because, firstly, these programs are small-scale and locally rooted, and secondly, because their organization allows for greater flexibility and room for innovation in areas such as, teacher education, curriculum design and school networking that is not possible within government schools.

The Government and educational NGOs in India can play a key role in eliminating fees or underwriting their costs through efforts like scholarships, bicycles to get to school, or creative micro-enterprise development projects that, for instance, might produce school uniforms at a low cost while providing some income to parents.

The Government in India must go beyond measuring only the financial resources that are attributed towards securing childrens rights. They should also include non-financial resources such as technical assistance, human resources and political will. While the responsibility of the government is to ensure all children are included in quality education systems-no matter what their gender, ability, or identity is. Educational NGOs in India can and should help them achieve this long term goal, through the following ways:

As NGOs they can advocate to influence the financing for education, by looking at the amount of money allocated as well as how it is spent. Educational NGOs in India can collectively advocate for relief of debt and loan restrictions that limit education financing. NGOs can play a key role as stakeholders in gender responsive budget initiatives, ensuring that female needs and rights are addressed and they are included and involved in the decision-making process

Since NGOs work with children, parents and communities often in a very personal manner, they have the unique chance to map who is not in school and influence and empower communities to take on many of the factors that keep children from school. At the local, grassroots level, NGOs can play a very important role in challenging harmful traditional practices and attitudes that keep females from completing their education.

Educational NGOs in India can also partner with the Government through sharing work and combining human resources. One way NGOs can partner with

governments is via research collection. Working with communities and universities both can collect sub national data on girls to best focus resources and calculate the necessary costing to include all children in gender-equitable education programs. Often NGOs work closely with communities of marginalized and abandoned children, and thus they can serve as critical partners for inclusion.

Obama: Intends To Introduce Scholarships for Single Mothers

By Fred Jackson

 Single working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all, in having to take care of their families on their own. For many moms higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships.

While people of all ages are encouraged to seek higher education, Obama is urging working moms in particular with his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the federal government’s abiding offer of Pell grants. Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college, and are applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is making some changes now.

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but that amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The aim of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree that allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. In addition, the administration hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school.

Another great incentive for moms in considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in almost any type of higher education institution. Both four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can choose either to go to a private school or a public one. If staying on campus isn’t an option, busy moms can opt to study through online courses. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government’s Scholarships for Moms program.

The Obama scholarship attempts to take a lot of the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest working moms can earn a degree, so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education doesn’t have to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.

So what’s holding you back? Take advantage of a $10,000 scholarship drawing. Registration is free if you visit http://www.scholarshipsformomsfinder.info/
