Basic education serves different purposes to different group of people. For someone it helps mental developments whereas for the poor it is needed for their security. For the second group the time they can spend on education is very much limited. On the other hand for security reasons within this period they must learn how to read and write at least one language and also some basic arithmetic so that they may not be exploited. Under this constraint my question is should there be two different forms of primary education? I am not also very sure about this.
Yes, by the word security I mean the social security. There are instances that some person makes a fake document, get the finger print of an illiterate farmer on that such that the document can be used to prove that the farmer's land was sold to the person long before. This way an illiterate poor can easily be deprived and exploited. There are many other instances like this. Therefore I think if we can at least teach them how to read and write one language and some basic arithmetic this type of problem may be reduced.
