No proper Mentorship and Failure fear problem

School problems are common for pre-teens and teenagers. They’re part of the ups and downs of school life. School problems can show up at any stage. They can be big or small. Sometimes they go away quickly by themselves, and sometimes they last longer and need some input from you or other adults. If your child is having problems at school, it’s important to pick up on problems early and address them. This gives your child a good chance of getting back on track quickly.

Some kids could use some extra help, or a confidence boost outside of school. Parents and classroom teachers can often help make a difference in those kids’ lives. But sometimes it’s helpful to have someone else step in someone who is not already as much a part of your child’s everyday life. In many cases, this is a mentor who can offer guidance, build confidence, and be a friend to your child. No proper mentorship and exam failure is the main problem of school fear and low interest in study.

High dropout students and Lack of awareness

Every year, many students drop out of school worldwide. This hinders their economic and social well-being as well as reduces the literacy rate of the country and creates a non-innovative environment. The issue of dropout in India is of particular importance and interest. Dropout means an “ever-enrolled person” who does not complete the last level of education for which he/she has enrolled and is currently not attending any educational institution

One out of every eight students enrolled in a school or college tends to drop out midway without completing the education and over 62% of all dropouts happen at the school level, a survey by the National Statistical Office (NSO) of the government of India has revealed. Overall, 12.6 per cent students drop out of studies in India, according to survey. More than one-third of the dropouts happen at the secondary and upper primary levels of education. While 19.8 percent of students discontinued education at the secondary level, about 17.5 per cent dropped out at the upper primary level. At the higher secondary level, the dropout rate is 9.6 per cent

Gender Inequality in Education

Gender disparity is largely the result of the deeply ingrained systems of patriarchy. Discrimination against women begins before birth and called this systemic subordination. Gender inequality in India is a multifaceted problem that affects both men and women. Some argue that gender equality measures, place men at a disadvantage. In the current situation, 68% of girls are still educated as their discrimination affects the country and extreme racism deprives women of justice and equality, which is only education and enlightenment can secure. Equality and equity in education are directly related to the democratic development of society, where the purpose of education is to produce knowledge makers with the capacity of making the most profitable use of the acquired knowledge. Gender disparity is evident in India's childhood literacy rates 82% of boys are literate and only 65% of girls can read and write, according to the 2011 Census of India. Statistics show that about 10% more girls enrolled in Indian high schools by 2019 compared to 2011.

Lack of education environment

Increasing numbers of Indians, rich and poor, are paying for schooling. The share of pupils in private education has risen from 28% to 33% in just three years. In rural areas it has almost doubled in eight years, from 16% to 29%. Private schools organize classes in tiny rooms, sometimes outside. Even if rain means lessons are cancelled, it is still better than a class without a teacher, as is often the case in state schools where teachers are absent one day in five, on average.

This statistic sums up the learning crisis that, according to many researchers, now threatens development in India, where half the population of 1.27 billion is under 25. The Annual Status of Education Report, carried out in rural areas by the non-governmental organization Pratham, reveals that though enrolment is still high, at over 96% (a free mid-day meal is a major incentive), pupils do not learn a great deal. After three years 60% of them still cannot read, except for their first name maybe, compared with 54% four years ago.

High no. of bagger and ragpickers on road

Most working children earn less than Rs 200 per day, and 63% of street children are also illiterate. And half of all children living on the street or from homeless families work for a living–at construction sites, hotels–and do not study, reveal data from surveys conducted across five Indian cities. As many as 37% of street children counted were girls, and about 5% were orphans who fended for themselves, As we all know that Food is the main expenditure, so street children spend most of their earning on food, followed by clothes/cosmetics and drugs according to study

Illiteracy and Unemployment led to crime

Most people believe that the steady rise of unemployment leads to a relative increase in crime. An individual lacks a source of legitimate income when he/she is unemployed. This occurs when people are laid off at the closure of a company or not able to be employed at all after training. Some people resolve criminal activities such as burglary, drug peddling, and other crimes to make an income for own and their family survival.

Unemployment is high among young people. People who have completed training and are ready for the job market stay unemployed. Another group of young people affected by unemployment are those who are laid off because of lack of college education. When young people are unemployed for a long time, they lose hope of getting employment. Therefore, unemployment and crime affect people who are under the age of 40, and these are mostly young men. This is because most criminal activities are carried out by people; thus, unemployed people over 40 years are not likely to enter criminal activities.
