The condition of education is very bad in India, esp. in villages and even in my own village, there are two govt. schools, one is nursery to 5th class and other is 1st to 8th class. And, near about 1000 students are there who study in these 2 schools. Only three teachers are there out of which 1 is Head master and rest two are Masters. There are no chairs to sit, no proper facility for shelter in rainy days, no proper drinking water facility but mid-day meal is served to every student. In addition, the condition or quality of that food is beyond imaginations. If you will see the condition of that place where food is cooked for the students, I think you will not be ready to take breath there for a while.
Govt. emphasis on books and clothes for the poor who are studying in govt. schools but what the quality of teachers present there to teach. The general knowledge of village students mostly is just like zero and the same is the case of teachers.
There are 5 fields of education or we can say 5 significant classification of education in India.
1. Primary Education
2. Secondary Education
3. Elder Education
4. Technical Education
5. Professional Education
In 1989, govt. made the national open school for those who are unable to study regularly due to some or the other reasons. Now it is known as national institute of open schooling (NIOS). It has a wide range all over the country. Every year thousands of students complete their 10th and 12th from NIOS.
Likewise, in the year 1985-86, Indira Gandhi national open university was established under the New national education policy, to provide correspondence courses for those who cannot be regular to the colleges.
With the aim to educate all the children of the age group of 14 years till 2010, govt launches the sarva shiksha abhiyan in 2002. In addition, govt. went further by 86th constitutional amendment 2002 by making right to education as a fundamental right of every citizen up to the age of 14 years.
In 2005, the govt. of India constitutes the National Knowledge commission with the aim to face all the challenges of 21st century in the field of education.
Yet, the condition is that every year near about 3 lack students go abroad for higher education. Only 50% come back to the country and rest settles there only. The total money that outflow on these students is much more than the amount needed to establish 10 more IITs and 10 more IIMs. Every year 80 thousand students take admission in US universities and near about 1-lack students take admission in Australian universities. There are five cities in Australia where the 80% of the source income of people comes from Indian student’s expenditures they make there while studying.
So, we need to reconsider our policies and rethink on the move that has been taken so far for betterment of Indian Education System. Readers are free to comment on that regarding what measures could be taken for level of education in India.

I think that we need to change primary education in rural areas because it is the main roots of education. i seems many schools in Rajasthan where teachers aren't coming and those school where teachers came, teachers didn't teach because 1 or 2 teacher in one school then 1 teacher is busy in mid-day meal and other record works and another 1 teacher teach for children but he/she didn't know how to teach. we will see the learning level of teachers is zero, in many school teachers took liquor, affim in Rajasthan. Education heads like DEEO,BEEO and ABEEO Don't go in schools for visit and by the way they went then they only check mid-day meal records, they don't check what is learning level of Children and how to teach teacher to children. we talk about learning level of children 5 class student don't read 2 class book, 5 class student don't do simple subtraction, this is the thinking issue for us, what is the india's future. our new generation's roots aren't strong then how we think, they will get higher education. if they will get higher education but they haven't sufficient knowledge, many colleges are giving Degrees for taking more amount but they don't give knowledge.
ReplyDeleteand last i tell you we want to improve our primary education system then we change higher education. Many NGO's work on Education and Pratham is one of them. Pratham NGO works on improving Primary Education in 22 states all over india.

The aim of education is to prepare a citizen for better life. As the life system keeps changing so must the education. Today an Indian has to operate a plumbing system, electrical systems and of course wooden and plastic goods. Why not have these skills, very elementary, taught and experimented in our schools.
