Gender Equity in Education

They say education starts at home, but in a fast-paced world like today, one needs assistance to make sure that children are nurtured and groomed optimally. Children are like wet clay and it is important to mould them in an efficient way at a very tender age. This sensitization process is no easy task and Shemford Futuristic Schools Guwahati is the perfect acquaintance one can desire. It is one of the oldest educational chain in India that aims to revolutionize the education sector in the country. The chain envisions the holistic development of a child focusing on his/her satisfaction through concept clarity and fostering an intimate learning process with love and care.

According to the Census of India 2011, the female literacy rate is 65.46% compared to males which are 82.14%.

In comparison, far fewer girls are enrolled in the schools, and many of them drop out. The National Achievement Survey (2017) that surveyed 22 lakh students have shown parity in the levels of education. While the enrolment rates have seen a great disparity, the performance graph is completely reverse, proving that girls have statistically and historically outperformed boys when given a chance to showcase their competencies at a level platform. Due to social norms and stigmas surrounding the activities of girls in this country, there are higher drop-out rates and lower attainment for females in an educational institution. Stats have shown that people prefer to burn their pockets more for boys when it comes to accessing private education.

The need of the hour has always been awareness and better policy-making. Even though institutions like ours have little say in the latter, but we at Shemford Guwahati have been advocates of equitable access to education across all gender. Not only we motivate and encourage every kid and their parents to come forward with a progressive mentality but also make sure such a line of thought is spread across the network of people engaged with Shemford.

Being one of the best private schools in a city, let alone the whole country takes a lot of stern and forward-thinking approach, and we have been successful in delivering such values to not just our staff and the students, but also to the parents. We at Shemford believe inequitable access to the fundamental right to education and thus cater to such ideas from the ground level.

Whether it is the academic performances or extra-curricular engagements, Shemford Futuristic School, Guwahati is at the forefront of developing young talents across genders who would one day be the flagbearer of progressive change in this country.

Our vision is to organically enforce a systemic change that would help the country flourish and set an example across the globe.
