Right to Education
By Anish Vedsen
Once upon a time, a girl named Rima lived in Garden city, Bangalore. She was a lively child who loved playing, studying, writing short stories, dancing, and singing. She was a bright student of the Indian International School.
One day her father got some work in their native village; Rima was pleased to hear the news. She convinced her father to accompany him on the trip. It was a matter of two days, so her father agreed. She packed her luggage and was very excited to visit their village.
When she reached there, she saw the kaccha houses / temporary houses made of mud or clay. She felt the quietness of village life. There were areas full of greenery where one could breathe fresh air. Cattle were moving around, and farmers were working in the field. Children were playing and enjoying themselves. Then she saw some boys going to a village school and girls going to farms with sharp knives. It was weird to her. She thought, “Why are girls not going to school?”
She followed one girl named Bindra to the farm. Rima asked her, “Hi, why are you not going to school?”
Bindra said, ” I never went to school. My brother goes to school, and I help my parents on the farm.” Her answer shocked Rima.
Then she told Bindra that according to the Constitution of India, “free and compulsory education for the age group of six to fourteen years is the Fundamental Right of all children.”
Ahe continued, “So it would help if you went to school, and afterwards you can help your parents. And every citizen of India is treated as equal, and there is no difference between boys and girls. Governments have created equal opportunities for everyone. So, we should follow it.”
These words touched Bindra because she also wanted to study like her brother. So she promised that henceforth she would also go to school to fulfil her dreams and be a strength for her parents.
The moral of the story is that education gives us identity and helps us make the right decisions.- Total nr. of readings: 14,829 Copyright © The author  All Rights Reserved. This story may not be reproduced without the express written permission of the author except for personal use.

Haki ya Elimu na Anish Vedsen Wakati mmoja, msichana aitwaye Rima aliishi katika mji wa bustani, Bangalore. Alikuwa mtoto mwenye uchangamfu ambaye alipenda kucheza, kujifunza, kuandika hadithi fupi, kucheza dansi, na kuimba. Alikuwa mwanafunzi mwenye akili wa Shule ya Kimataifa ya India. Siku moja baba yake alipata kazi katika kijiji chao cha asili; Rima alifurahi kusikia habari hiyo. Alimshawishi baba yake amfuate katika safari hiyo. Ilikuwa suala la siku mbili, kwa hiyo baba yake alikubali. Alipanga mizigo yake na alifurahi sana kutembelea kijiji chao. Alipofika huko, aliona nyumba za kaccha, nyumba za muda zilizotengenezwa kwa matope au udongo. Alihisi utulivu wa maisha ya kijiji. Kulikuwa na maeneo yaliyojaa mimea ambako mtu angeweza kupumua hewa safi. Ng'ombe walikuwa wakisonga-songa, na wakulima walikuwa wakifanya kazi shambani. Watoto walikuwa wakicheza na kufurahia maisha yao. Kisha akaona wavulana fulani wakienda shule ya kijiji na wasichana wakienda mashambani wakiwa na visu vyenye ncha kali. Ilikuwa ya ajabu kwake. Alifikiri, "Kwa nini wasichana hawaendi shuleni?" Alifuata msichana mmoja aitwaye Bindra hadi shamba. Rima alimwuliza, "Haya, kwa nini huendi shule?" Bindra alisema, "Sijawahi kwenda shule. Ndugu yangu huenda shuleni, nami ninawasaidia wazazi wangu katika shamba. <unk> Jibu lake lilimshtua Rima. "Bindra alisema kuwa sheria ya India inatoa haki ya watoto wote kupata elimu ya bure na ya lazima kuanzia miaka 6 hadi 14 na kwamba ""unaweza kuwasaidia wazazi wako.""" Kila raia wa India anatendewa sawa na hakuna tofauti kati ya wavulana na wasichana. Serikali zimeunda fursa sawa kwa kila mtu. Kwa hiyo, tunapaswa kuifuata. <unk> Maneno haya yalimgusa Bindra kwa sababu yeye pia alitaka kusoma kama ndugu yake. Kwa hiyo aliahidi kwamba kuanzia sasa ataenda shule ili kutimiza ndoto zake na kuwa nguvu kwa wazazi wake. "Mafundisho ya hadithi hii ni kwamba elimu inatupa utambulisho na inatusaidia kufanya maamuzi sahihi.
