HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES ON THE ROLE OF PRIMARY EDUCATION INSTITUTES: INDICES BASED APPROACH

Abstract

Human development is primary for the development of a society. Education and employability are the basis on which human resource development (HRD) can be achieved. With the aim to study the impact of primary education on human resource development the present work explores the education quality indices. HRD in the modern concept encompasses physical, intellectual, psychological, social, political, moral and spiritual development. In this paper some of the relevant HRD indices pertaining to the primary education sector, which are helpful to the educationists, researchers, planners and administrators for assessing the development of a region and how much is the contribution of primary education to the human development. The important indices that need to be looked into are enrolment rates, availability of teachers and proper infrastructure. The adult literacy rate will be automatically high once the inputs are improved.
