Question

As per last census, the literacy rate in India was around 74%. In our day-to-day life, we find people who cannot even read or write. Looking at the gravity of the situation, you decide to deliver a speech in your school morning assembly on the topic. “Each One, Teach One”. Write your speech in 150-200 words. You are Vinitha/Bejo.

Answer 1

Each One, Teach One

Good morning, respected principal, teachers and dear friends. Today, I, Vinitha, will discuss the issue of illiteracy. Illiteracy remains a significant issue in the country today. Students have the potential to significantly reduce illiteracy due to their ample time. During summer break, kids can spend a few hours teaching illiterate adults and children in nearby communities. They can teach illiterate people about life skills, cleanliness, child care, and nutrition. Illiterate people can overcome social problems such as superstition, religious bigotry, communalism, and narrow-mindedness through education. Students can create street plays that highlight the flawed attitudes of illiterate people. They can learn about the importance of education. Literate people can benefit from government programs aimed at their growth. Literacy empowers illiterate people to protect themselves from fraudulent behaviour. Students, being the future of the country, should take the initiative to promote knowledge through the ‘Each One, Teach One’ campaign. They are young, dynamic, and have innovative ideas. We are confident that if they take action to address this problem, it will be resolved quickly.
