Education System in India

 Education System in India

    " Education should be exercise.

It has become message "

- Martin H Fischer

           Can we judge our education system by only literacy rate ? Being on this very earth answer should be NO. In our country after independence government had focused on educational inclusion which was represented by literacy rate. And having  literacy rate more than 60%, at least , it saved us from embarrassment. But what about the qualities and skills that has to be provided by education system ? Anticipating ourselves as developed country we need drastic and innovative changes in education system which will focus on upgrading students in his or her realm of study.

           Today we have standardised school board and syllabus but we don't have standardised teaching. Teacher is the prime line which connects quality knowledge and students. In India this line is not properly managed and education system has become weaker by time. Another issue prompting threat to system is brand making of institutions. It is good when one doesn't compromise keel of education system while brand making. But involvement of corrupt politicians and greedy businessmen it has become difficult to focus on sustainable and quality growth of institutions. To attract students they flaunts needless amenities, labs with only good furniture, big campus without proper management and so on. This was about the private institutes except some of notables. Where government schools has gone to dustbin. According to survey by notable NGOs, considerable amount of students from 7th grade can't read or write. Which shows that we are only upgrading their grades not them. I think it has become need of hour if we want to run with rest of developed world. At this moment, we need to not only reform education system but also mindset of people. In the remote areas people still think studies are not going to stand by them. Education is not for us but for people in cities. Government has amended right to education which is good move but people should know what it is for and to whom it concerns ? For this government need path breaking decisions which can effectively push Right to education.

          So it is the job of every Indian to promote and encourage education reforms in society. Which will bring more and more talents into flow of reformed education system. Every student should be treated unique by his or her abilities and they should be nurtured with respective feeds.
