Does substantial expansion of educational facilities by itself create the required demand for education? Since demand for education depends on many socio-economic, political, and religious factors, is the supply of free schooling alone adequate? Schooling for All demonstrates that there isstill a substantial need to create demand for schooling among all levels of society, especially in those socio-economic groups which are yet to see the importance of education. The volume critically analyses the primary drawbacks of the Indian education system-non-enrolment, dropouts, irregular attendance, and inadequate learning. It establishes the need to strongly encourage parents to recognize the importance of education for their children's future. Arguing thatsupply-side strategies - free education, midday meals, opening more schools - have not proved effective since the problem of inadequate demand is much larger, the authors delineate the measures that are required to boost the demand for education in India., The book demonstrates that children belonging to specific socioeconomic groups are more likely to drop out of schools, attend irregularly, and learn less even if they are in school in India. Their parents do not demonstrate adequate demand for schooling. These people do not see education contributing to a better life for their children. This could be, as argued in the book, due to a number of reasons, including their dependence on low-productivity from agriculture or unskilled labour, not seeing many people from their social group getting the benefits of education, and absence of social mobilizations which have focused on education of the under-privileged groups in many parts of India. This problem of low demand for schooling continues despite a marked improvement in the provisioning of schools in the country. This book argues that the problems of schooling in India cannot be addressed merely by providing more and better quality schools. There is a need to strongly encourage parents (especially those belonging to certain social groups and in specific regions) to keep children in schools, to see that they attend regularly, and to ensure that children learn adequately. Though mid-day meals, Right to Education Act, etc., are meant for this purpose, more efforts are needed in this direction., The volume critically analyses the primary drawbacks of the Indian education system-non-enrolment, dropouts, irregular attendance, and inadequate learning. It establishes the need to strongly encourage parents to recognize the importance of education for their children's future. Arguing that supply-side strategies-free education, midday meals, opening more schools-have not proved effective since the problem of inadequate demand is much larger, the authorsdelineate the measures that are required to boost the demand for education in India.
