Being a long time now the education bill has been passed in the India enabling millions children to have an free access to education .Yes its a long and hefty process to educate all the children in India and having a quota system in all the schools which will enable to make study up to grade 8 free. The Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal termed it as "historic" legislation providing for free and compulsory education for all children in the 6 to 14 age-group.
How should ‘Right to Education’ be defined?
The RTE however raises more a fundamental question: how exactly is
right to education to be defined? In 1993, in its landmark
Unnikrishnan judgement, the Supreme Court declared that from birth
until the age of 14, children were entitled to free and compulsory
education and this was accorded the status of a basic right. Children
below the age of 6 were to be given adequate nutrition, healthcare, a
safe childhood, and pre-primary education (KG, nursery). Children
between the ages of 6 and 14 were granted the basic right to primary
education for these eight years. This is the most widely accepted
definition of the ‘Right to Education’: namely – the right of all
children until the age of 14 to nutrition, healthcare, safety, and
education of an equitable standard free of cost.

Factors which should be considered when choosing a college?
Choosing a college is a big decision. You may find many colleges and universities that match your preferences. It is good to explore your interests and to take the time to find the college that is right for you and that match your needs. The first thing to do when considering your options is to identify your priorities and carefully research the characteristics of a range of schools.
One characteristic to consider is the size of the student body. Size will affect many of your opportunities and experiences including the range of academic majors offered, extracurricular possibilities, the amount of personal attention you’ll receive, and the size of the library. Location is also something to consider when choosing a college. Do you want to visit home frequently, or do you want to have an experience in a new part of the country? How accessible are the colleges you are considering to things like museums, recreation or other things that might be a priority to you?
If you know what you want to study, than it is a good idea to research the departments of interest at the different schools. If you are not sure what you want to study than look for an academically balanced institution that offers a range of majors and programs. Cost is also an important consideration for most students. But in most cases, virtually all colleges work to ensure that academically qualified students can find financial aid that allows them to attend without cost being an issue.
Finally, explore what you might gain from a diverse student body. Think about the geographic, ethnic, racial and religious diversity of the students as a means of learning more about the world. Investigate what kinds of student organizations or other groups are available on campus.
One of the best ways to measure a school’s quality and the satisfaction of its students is to find out the percent of students who return after the first year and the percent of entering students who remain to graduate. Good retention and graduation rates are great indicators that responsible academic, social and financial support systems exist at those institutions.

Getting a Part-Time Job While Study
As a teenager, looking for your first part time job can seem like a daunting task. Let's face it, finding a job is hard to begin with. But when you haven't had any experience in a workplace, have never been through an interview, and don't know where to start in writing a resume, the task can seem impossible. Of course, your parents are probably no help; "it's simple", they say, "just go ask Joe at the corner market for a job; he'll give you one!" So, how do you go about getting your first job?
Preparing for the Job Hunt
The most important steps in going to get your first job take place before you even head out the front door. You need to prepare for what you're about to do.
Put together a simple resume
Many first time or part time job seekers don't believe they need a resume, or think that "well, I don't really have anything to put on a resume, so why bother?" Two reasons. First, having a resume to give to the prospective employer shows you've put some effort into finding a job (read: you will put some effort into the job you do for them…). Secondly, it allows you to showcase those things about you that you want the employer to remember.
Having a printed resume sets you apart from the crowd. Even if you have no work experience, you can still give the employer an idea of who you are, and what your strengths are. If all you've done is baby-sit your kid brother, put it down in writing. Emphasize the skills you learned while baby-sitting, the challenges you overcame, and so on.
Appearance matters
Make sure when you head out the door, that you are well groomed and well dressed. You don't need to be in a suit, just make sure you look presentable. Make sure "your Grandma would approve…"
Get a list of places to apply
Of course, you can use sites that focus on part time jobs for teens like GrooveJob.com to find part time jobs in your area, but there are many other ways to find employers. You can get a list of places looking for people from a variety of sources. You can pick up a local newspaper, go to the library to look at help wanted listings, or walk through town looking for Help Wanted signs. But remember, not every business looking for an employee will have a Help Wanted sign in the front window. Put on your list of places anywhere that you think would be fun to work, and go get that job. Walking in and asking for a job isn't illegal, and it shows the manager that you are interested and ambitious if you ask for a job even when one isn't advertised.
Prepare for "No"
Before you go apply anywhere, you need to prepare yourself for rejection. That's right. Nobody, and I mean, nobody, gets accepted every single place they apply for a job. As a first time job seeker, you need to mentally prepare for someone to say, "No". There's nothing wrong with a store owner saying to you, "I'm sorry, we don't need anyone right now." However, there is a right and a wrong way to respond to a business owner or manager who says they have no need for you. If you get a "No, I'm sorry" (and everyone will!), respond by saying, "Well, if you do need someone in the future, please give me a call. I'll leave you a copy of my resume. Thanks for your time."
This shows the manager that you are serious about getting a job, and you have demonstrated the ability to follow up. Simply walking away from the store shows the manager that you weren't serious about the job to begin with. Stand up for yourself and demonstrate maturity. It goes a long way in presenting yourself.
Stand up straight and be mature
Not to sound like your parents, or anything, but…
Go to each of the employers on your list, walk in the door, and ask for that job. Keep you head up, maintain eye contact, have a firm handshake, and be confident. Employers look for certain qualities when a jobseeker walks in the door. Foremost of those qualities is the candidate's ability to communicate. If you are meek, shy, and unable to show the employer that you are serious about getting a job, you probably won't get one. When communicating to a manager, demonstrate that you are eager to get the job.
Follow Up
This is probably the most important part of getting a job. Employers look for candidates who have the ability to follow up with customers, because it shows a willingness to get involved and be responsible. Always make a follow up call or get in touch with the potential employer. Usually, it's best to wait about a week to make a call, and when you do, make sure to get on the phone with the person who will be hiring. Don't rely on someone else to leave the right message for you.

Study in Canada.
Canadian academic institutions welcome students from around the world, who bring cultural enrichment to the educational scene in Canada. More than 101,000 foreign students were enrolled in Canadian institutions in 1998, not including students taking English or French as second language courses.
Foreign students must meet certain immigration requirements to obtain an authorization to study in Canada. They must:
At the post-secondary level foreign student fees and other requirements vary depending on the institution. Individual institutions can provide details of fees, academic requirements and programs of study, as well as information on cost of living and health insurance. Students should ensure that the institution being considered is acceptable for purposes of a student authorization.
In some countries, Canada Education Centres, which operate in partnership with CIC and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, can provide assistance with finding and applying to member institutions. Many institutions attend education fairs in different countries.
CIC gives a high priority to processing student applications quickly and efficiently. Immigration officials are working with the academic community to reduce processing times and paperwork. Improvements include expedited medical procedures at some key posts and longer validity periods for student authorizations.
Foreign students may work only under certain circumstances, for instance:

- the work, up to one year after graduation, is in a field related to the studies
- their source of funding is cut off through no fault of their own
Why Immigrate to canada?
Since 1867, Canada’s immigration programs have helped build a community of citizens respected throughout the world. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) was established in 1994 to link immigration services with citizenship registration, to promote the unique ideals all Canadians share and to help build a stronger Canada.
Immigration stimulates Canada's growth, prosperity and cultural diversity. It reunites families and offers protection to refugees. Canada benefits from the talents, experience and energy of immigrants, whether they are skilled workers, business people, refugees, relatives of Canadian citizens and residents, foreign students, temporary workers or others. All stimulate economic growth and enrich Canada's social and cultural life.
The Government of Canada, in consultation with the provinces, the territories and key stakeholders, establishes an annual range for the number of immigrants who will be admitted into Canada. In the past 10 years, Canada has welcomed, on average, 220,778 immigrants and refugees a year.
In 2002, Canada welcomed 229,091 immigrants and refugees as new permanent residents and is aiming to meet the low end of the 2003 target range. For 2004, working within existing resources, CIC is planning to maintain the same target range as the previous year - 220,000 to 245,000 new permanent residents.
Traditionally, most new immigrants to Canada come from the following countries: China, India, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, USA, Iran, Romania, UK and Colombia.
Each year, approximately 160,000 people become Canadian citizens (representing about 85 percent of all immigrants) and take an oath of citizenship at ceremonies across the country. The oath is a personal commitment to accept the responsibilities and privileges of Canadian citizenship.
The aim of this web page is to provide potential immigrants to Canada with detailed and complete immigration information, free Canada immigration assessment, Canada immigration consultation and general knowledge on the benefits, which Canada offers to its residents. Canadian immigration resources include information on the Canada Skilled Worker Class Immigration Visa, Canada Business Class Immigration Visa and Canada Family Class Immigration Visa.
