Introduction:- Education is a dynamic force in the life of every individual influencing the physical, mental, emotional, ethical and social development of the individual. Therefore, every child must have access to early education that is of good quality. The primary education is the foundation of learning for life, it ensures whether the child will become a good citizen or not. Children are the future of any country and primary education is the first stepping stone towards the educational literacy of a child. To make child, a better citizen, primary education plays a very significant role. It provides a sound base for learning and helps to develop skills, knowledge, development of a sense of social responsibility and all round personality development. Primary education should be a basic human right, as it is both transformative and empowering. Beyond this intrinsic importance, it is also indispensable for the enjoyment of other human rights and is a means for accessing broader social, economic, political and cultural rights and benefits. „Primary education must be ensuring that children have positive experiences and that their needs for health, stimulation and support are met, and that they learn to interact with their surroundings‟ (UNESCO 2007) Education contributes to building more just societies through reducing poverty and inequalities. No country has ever climbed the human development ladder without steady investment in education. 1 1 Thematic Paper on MDG 2 UNDG, Available at http://www.undg.org/docs/11421/MDG2_1954- UNDG-MDG2-LR.pdf.
