Abstract :

In order to implement universal elemental education, proper schooling facilities must be provided within walking distance. Schooling facilities include set up of schools as well as proper infrastructure of school. People are becoming more and more conscious to send their children to educational institutions. It is generally known to all that quantity and quality are contradictory to each other. Enrolment of students in educational institutions has increased manifold all over the country due to rapid increase of population. But the lack in quality of education is very prominent in the regions which are geographically backward. Using primary and secondary data, this study explores the scenario of location of educational institutions, infrastructure of the educational institutions and progress of learners in the educational institutions of South 24–Parganas district of West Bengal. The study finds that progress of learners in educational institutions is very much related to quality of the educational institutions. Authors have tried precisely to describe through this study about the educational status of South 24–Parganas in West Bengal and the statistical analysis of the same. They observed that education varies due to change of sex of the students as education is a social instrument through which we can fight against the social evils. The related studies and the other studies of the author exclusively showed that education is a political and economic instrument to upgrade the standard of life for a particular population.
