Показать описание
When all children, regardless of their socio-economic differences are educated together, everyone benefits. Since education is a great equalizer, RTE 12(1)(C) provides equal access to quality education irrespective of socio economic differences, thus helping reduce societal inequity. In this talk, Samina speaks about Social Inclusion in Education, Its importance, status in Uttar Pradesh, her intervention, socio-economic integration in classrooms and Equity in education through Right To Education Act, her struggles for the cause, impact, success stories and the Future of education. RTE activist Samina Bano founded Bharat Abhyudaya Foundation along with other IIM and Harvard Graduates in the year of 2012, with a commitment to the cause of elementary education reform at institutional level while working closely with the civil societies as well as the government in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
Samina Bano, now heading the Bharat Abhyudaya Foundation (BAF) as its chairperson in a span of six months did what even Uttar Pradesh government could not achieve in a year. In 2014-15, only 54 poor students were given free admission in schools under the economically weaker section (EWS) quota under Right To Education (RTE) Act. After her crusade, the number in 2015-16 has swelled to over 1,300 and is still counting. Among those admitted, nearly half the children are from minority community.
Among numerous awards and honors achieved by her, World Women Super Achiever Award (2015) and Ashoka Fellow (2015) stand out.
