A Study on Learning Difficulties In Mathematics at Upper Primary Level of Students residing in Slums of Maharashtra

Abstract

'Education for all' is one of the cherished goals of our constitution. Since independence, lot of efforts are made to universalize education and to a large extent we are successful also in achieving the required goal of universalization of elementary education in our country. Elementary Education, being the base of all other ladders, occupies prominent place in the whole educational setup. With all this special attention was paid to the extension and spread of Elementary Education after the Independence. Section 45 of the Constitution of India and its later amendments also made a provision of free and compulsory education to all children within a period of 10 years from the commencement of the Constitution. Right to education, further, abolishes child labor and promotes education. The overall goal is to provide free and compulsory education of better quality to all children.
