Educational planning is important as it can tackle those areas where immediate reform is needed. It can provide future educational infrastructure to those who are not yet in the coverage area of education. One such area before the educational planning is the child labourer education. Child labour is a threat for the nation and for the state. They are out of the scenario of universalization of primary education and fall under heavy dropout rates. There are national policies for child labour where special school for them was organized with monthly stripen of 100 rps. In Assam there are four districts under these schemes, but other districts are not yet followed. Overall education towards this child labour is not an easy task to deal with as their parents are from poverty striven family and so accept this child as assets. As a result they send these children to work instead of school. They believe that education will give them nothing but it will create a loss in time where the child can earn money outside. Therefore they are forbidden from the basic right to education. That is why educational planning should also be conscious to deal with the problem by catching its basic problems, and try to change the mind set of this people. This should be located soon otherwise we will lose our future citizen indulge in illiteracy. This paper attempts to find out whether there is any such planning is available for this child or not and also tries to show some future prospects which can be taken under consideration.

Human beings have been expressing their complex and abstract feelings or emotions through non verbal forms of communication. Dance is one of the greatest and special forms of non verbal communication. In dance, the human body is used as a medium or instrument which transforms itself from the realm of movement to the realm of meaning. This paper is an attempt to focus on dance as not only a tool of non verbal communication but also a tool of conveying a wide range of stories, emotions, feelings, etc. symbolically and didactically.
The paper discussed the importance of language in human existence. It asserted that the basic need of human interaction at both individual and collective levels was satisfied through language. Culture, although a familiar word, was often misunderstood and misused. The paper, consequently, delved into what culture was all about. The close relationship between language and culture was highlighted. The profusion of languages in the African continent was seen by the paper as problematic. African colonial experience and the current globalization process militated against evolving effective language policy and language planning in Africa. The paper contented that the militating factors notwithstanding, Africa was in dire need of a virile language policy. Languages being carriers of culture, the policy should appreciate the need for the protection and promotion of African cultural values through the indigenous languages. Linguistic human rights which included the practical ability of an individual to use his own language in all human interactions should be fully appreciated as a foundational element for democratization processes. In conclusion, the paper warned against the lopsided development in favour of science and technology in African countries. A commensurate attention should be given to the development of the language resources in the continent.
