    Performance of students in rural areas

    Recently a survey about the various capabilities (basic reading, Math, and English abilities, application of basic skills to everyday calculations, reading and understanding written instructions, and financial calculations in real life) of students in the age group of 14 to 18 is released in their Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) by the Pratham Foundation, an education-focused non-profit NGO. They have taken a survey of 34745 students (Govt as well as private schools) during 2023 in rural areas covering 28 districts across 26 states in India.
    As per the report, the reading abilities are slightly lower but in the Math and calculations area, it is improved as compared to the base year 2017.
    This type of survey might be useful for strengthening the teachers for the segments where students are showing weakness. The results of such surveys could also be considered while implementing the NEP. Please share your opinion.

    These days there is no scarcity of resources for the youth in rural areas also. Internet is available in every nook and corner of the country. Data is available on mobile to almost all people. So a student in rural areas is also exposed to all these modern tools and devices. Another advantage is the educational institutions in cities and towns are sending buses for commuting students to and from schools. That is why a student in a rural area also can perform equally and even better than students in towns and cities.
    As mentioned by the author, I also feel that such surveys will expose the strengths and weaknesses of various sections of students and actions can be taken by the concerned authorities to improve on the areas where some improvement is required. I found some students from rural areas doing exceptionally well in their field of education and getting good placements in famous companies.

    There is not the scarcity of the resources to the students living in the village areas these days. All sorts of data is within the access of the youths for the rural youths by way of internet and other facilities and updating themselves with the latest technology is now no more a problem for the youths of the rural areas. The most important thing is that they they need to take interest in such domains.
    The author has rightly pointed out that undertaking such surveys as being carried out, if done in a regular basis can provide both the strength and weakness of the students of a particular region and for an analyst, it will be more useful to know the latest information of the students regarding their weak and strong skills. Updating the latest skills, the rural youths can in no way be inferior to their counterparts of the urban population.

    It has been told by many that the distractive attractions are less in rural areas and therefore the performance of rural students are high comparable to others. It is correct to say and also in rural areas the control and following a disciplined way of life is more in houses. The parents are found with a regular and customized habits which is also followed simply by the children of them. So, the unnecessary distractions are not affecting much. Automatically they realize themselves in to their daily activities as study is an important one to their life and future.

    The survey's utility extends beyond just evaluating students; it can serve as a tool to strengthen teacher training programs. By identifying specific areas where students exhibit weaknesses, educators can receive targeted support and professional development. This personalized approach can enhance teaching strategies and contribute to overall improvements in student outcomes.

    The NEP aims for a holistic transformation of the education system, focusing on foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

    The ASER findings can inform policymakers about the current state of these foundational skills, helping them tailor the implementation of the NEP to address the identified challenges effectively
