Today being republic day, I took leave from my office. During lunch, I came across Sir Richard Attenborough's award winning movie `Gandhi' in which Ben Kingsley acts as charismatic Bapuji. It was a touching movie. Although I have never seen Gandhiji, I belong to a generation in which national leaders continued to be respected for right reasons.
When we look back into all the years since independence, we can easily sense as to how fast corruption has crept into our systems of governence including primary, secondary and tertiary education.
Although it is nearly two years since Right to Education Act got introduced, many questions remain to be answered. I hope that education professionals in goverment departments and education NGOs work hand in hand with stakeholders particularly at grassroots' levels (e.g. financially weaker sections in communities) toward a common goal: Quality Education for all children.
