Abstract

While the decline in infrastructure, functionality, quality and attitudes affect all children, given the prevailing social inequalities and hierarchies, these factors affect poor children and among them girls much more that they affect the more privileged sections of society, who increasingly opting out of government schools and moving to private aided and unaided schools. Even when they join government schools, they have access to schools of far superior quality and have the resources to supplement the teaching provided with private tutoring. The decade of the 1990s witnessed a range of context specific policy / programme interventions to address gender issues in primary education. They have made an obvious difference, especially in those regions where they were implemented in earnest.
