Ahmedabad school teacher to represent India at SAARC conference

Selected two months ago as a SAARC member,Shukla will give an overview on the ‘Impact of global crisis on gender equality,union,education and society’ with special focus on women and girl child at the summit.

Also a proposal focusing on the needs of the each participant country compiled region-wise will be submitted to the umbrella organisation ‘Education International’.

EI collects funds for addressing the issues related to education in developing countries.

The exercise is part of the preparation for the international seminar to be held in Los Angeles in 2011 where a final decision will be taken on the acceptance of region-wise proposals and extension of monetary help.

All the countries have been asked to present data on trafficking of girl child. “In the proposal,hardcore realities about the status of women in the society will be presented. The fact that India is lacking in monetary support from foreign countries will be highlighted to draw the international attention to the weaker section in India and find a way to improve the education system by correlating it with the status in the Western countries,” said Shukla.

She further said,“Suggestions will be given on methods to bridge the gap in the status of education in the Western world and the Asian countries to bring world focus to the real condition of the girl child and give a reason to uplift them.”
