Rising Importance Of Kindergarten Schools In India

Kindergarten schools were not of much importance in the earlier times of Indian history. Education on the whole was not given much importance. Children learnt skills from their fathers and ventured into whatever field their forefathers were in. Slowly the trend started changing. But child labour still loomed large in India. Parents used to think that instead of sending their children to school they could make them work and earn a quick buck to support the family. The concept of kindergarten school in India was not present at those times.


Slowly the government furnished plans to lure school children by providing free meals to them in schools. Impoverished parents then started sending their children to school thinking that at least their meals would be taken care of. Further the government imposed bans on child labour and imposed a law stating that children below 15 years of age cannot be employed to work under any circumstances. This changed the education scenario in India. As children could not be employed for work they had to be sent to schools. The government run schools did not charge them any fees. This compelled parents to send their children to such schools. Well the cream of the Indian society enrolled their children in top preschools in India. The top preschools in India are a far cry from the ordinary kindergarten schools in India. They have adopted the latest technology for kids as young. They have technology like virtual reality and artificial intelligence to teach children. Virtual reality uses oculus gear through which little children view three dimensional videos on educational topics. In this way the learning gets registered in a better way in their minds. Hence the educational war field has seen a lot of struggles in India but as of now is gaining steam and many parents even from the non-creamy layer are giving education importance.
