The essence of human resource development is that education
must play a significant and interventionist role in remedying
imbalances in the socio-economic fabric of the country. Basic
education has also greatly contributed to the quality of human
life, particularly with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality,
learning levels and nutritional status of children, etc. Several
new initiatives have been taken by the Government placing emphasis
on decentralization with the participation of people at the
grass root level. Consequently, universal basic education has
vastly contributed to social justice and equity, and participative
economic growth.
