RTE, Right To Education comes into force from 1st April 2010
Education is a fundamental right of every child...
RTE, Right To Education is a historic law making education a fundamental right of every child in India will come into force on 1st April 2010. Its directly benefiting close to 1 crore children who do not go to schools at present. Nearly 92 lakh children, who have either dropped out from schools or have never been to any educational institution, will get elementary education as it will be binding on part of the local and state governments to ensure that all children in the six to 14 years age group get schooling.
Education became a fundamental right of every child in the age of six to 14 years through the 86th amendment by inserting a clause in the Constitution in 2002. Parliament passed the enabling law last year. At present, there are nearly 22 crore children in the relevant age group. However, 4.6 per cent of these children are out of school.
The Act mandates that even private educational institutions have to reserve 25 per cent seats for children from weaker sections. The Finance Commission has provided Rs 25,000 crore to the states for implementation of the Act. As per the government's estimate, there will be a requirement of Rs 1.71 lakh crore in the next five years for implementation of the Act.

Top 6 Keys to Being a Successful Teacher
1. Sense of Humor
A sense of humor can help you become a successful teacher. Your sense of humor can relieve tense classroom situations before they become disruptions. A sense of humor will also make class more enjoyable for your students and possibly make students look forward to attending and paying attention. Most importantly, a sense of humor will allow you to see the joy in life and make you a happier person as you progress through this sometimes stressful career.
2. A Positive Atitutude
A positive attitude is a great asset in life. You will be thrown many curve balls in life and especially in the teaching profession. A positive attitude will help you cope with these in the best way. For example, you may find out the first day of school that you are teaching Algebra 2 instead of Algebra 1. This would not be an ideal situation, but a teacher with the right attitude would try to focus on getting through the first day without negatively impacting the students.
3. High Expectations
An effective teacher must have high expectations. You should strive to raise the bar for your students. If you expect less effort you will receive less effort. You should work on an attitude that says that you know students can achieve to your level of expectations, thereby giving them a sense of confidence too. This is not to say that you should create unrealistic expectations. However, your expectations will be one of the key factors in helping students learn and achieve.
4. Consistency
In order to create a positive learning environment your students should know what to expect from you each day. You need to be consistent. This will create a safe learning environment for the students and they will be more likely to succeed. It is amazing that students can adapt to teachers throughout the day that range from strict to easy. However, they will dislike an environment in which the rules are constantly changing.
5. Fairness
Many people confuse fairness and consistency. A consistent teacher is the same person from day to day. A fair teacher treats students equally in the same situation. For example, students complain of unfairness when teachers treat one gender or group of students differently. It would be terribly unfair to go easier on the football players in a class than on the cheerleaders. Students pick up on this so quickly, so be careful of being labelled unfair.
6. Flexibility
One of the tenets of teaching should be that everything is in a constant state of change. Interruptions and disruptions are the norm and very few days are ‘typical’. Therefore, a flexible attitude is important not only for your stress level but also for your students who expect you to be in charge and take control of any situation.

Good teachers are made, not born!
GOOD TEACHERS are now rarely found in academic institutions. Some teachers feel nervous about their profession. Some others concentrate on research. Few regard teaching as a noble vocation. This scenario must change. Oscar Wilde once said, “Nothing worth teaching can be taught and all that is taught is not worth teaching.” Teaching is a demanding occupation. It is rarely a dream job and most of the time it is a nightmare. Teaching may be a fascinating experience but few teachers actually know how to teach. Brilliant students may not always become brilliant teachers. Teaching is really a tough job. At one time students took to teaching because there was nothing else to do. Time was when parents never wanted to look up teacher-bridegrooms in the matrimonial columns of newspapers. Bank officers or engineers or doctors were in heavy demand. Teachers (even of the college or university kind) were rarely wanted. Talented students never used to take to teaching. Poor salary was another reason behind poor quality of teaching. Idealism is good but not always saleable. The education system paid the penalty for this unprofessional attitude. We have all respect for teachers but never want our own children to become academics.
Teaching is less attractive than medical or engineering professions. It is an ordeal for many. In the classroom, the teacher has to face hundreds of students every day and every hour. Teaching involves externalisation of one’s personality and psyche. Few can stand the ordeal. To teach is to be battered, scrutinised and drained day after day. Some teach animatedly and with unaccustomed eloquence while hordes of students rush purposefully. They wait for notes and suggestions and bother little for the spontaneous wisdom flowing out of the teacher’s mouth. Today this trend has become conspicuous and education is now a commodity.
While facing the students for the first time, novices are a nervous and diffident lot. One problem some teachers face is communication. Some teachers, for example, cannot speak good English but have been appointed in universities and colleges where they should teach only in English. Given such a situation, either such teachers quit the profession or gradually find ways to overcome their nervousness and inadequacy. Eventually, they evolve a teaching style of their own.
Despite recent efforts to improve the training of college and university teachers in India, the myth of ‘born teacher’ and the mystique surrounding good teaching as the natural complement of scholarly research still undermine departmental commitment to preparing graduate and post-graduate students for a career in teaching. There is no ideal way to teach and the prospect of tomorrow’s classrooms seems hopeless. Teaching is a skill that can be learned and teachers need to ensure adherence to fair play while teaching. Teaching is an art and lends itself to improvisation. A teacher can borrow ideas and methodologies from colleagues and predecessors.
