FALL 2011 CULTURAL PROJECT: Education in India

Presentation%20on%20Indian%20Education.pptx

My cultural project this year was very different from my previous one on Hindu death rituals.  I think a lot of the terms I learned for this presentation are more practical for everyday use and that I was able to incorporate slightly more of my language this year, or at least did so with greater complexity.  From looking at the literacy statistics I found through the Indian census, it is clear that India has made great improvements to its quality of education.  However, it is still disheartening to see the gap that exists between male and female literacy rate and access to education.  Literacy has been shown to be important for enhancing women's rights, improving quality of life, and reducing child mortality, so it is extremely important that India work to improve access to education for girls.
