Issue
United Nation is committed to peace and prosperity for people and planet, now and in future. Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals to promote the cause of UN. The SDGs were set up in 2015 and it is intended to be achieve by 2030. The SDG goal no 4 focuses on “ensuring inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning opportunity for all” and the SDG goal no 5 focuses on “achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”. Government of India is also committed to achieve the SDG goals ”. National Education Policy 2020, is major step taken by the government with an aim at making “India a global knowledge superpower”. Though lot of effort is being put in improving education but there are different issues related to education which needs to be addressed. Some of the key issues are as follows : • Inadequate Infrastructure in Schools • High Dropout Rate The dropout rate is very high in primary and secondary levels. • Mass illiteracy • Unaffordability • Gender-Inequality: Despite the government's effort to promote gender equality in our society, the literacy rate of women in India, especially in rural areas, still remains very poor. Beside this, AAs has observed that due to Covid-19, education has faced a major setback. The economic backward communities have witnessed a high drop-out rate and the worst affected are girls. It has been observed that gender inequality, harmful gender stereotypes has also made the status of girls’ child worst. Looking into the SDG Goal no 4 & 5, challenges mentioned in (UDISE) for 2019-20 like high dropout rates, gender inequality, we are working to create child friendly spaces for children.

AAs is working on creating a safe space in the communities like child friendly house, Child Friendly school so that children especially girls can take informed decisions for their protection and development.
