Presentation on Present Education System- Student, Faculty, Parents and Management Point of View

By Dr. P. K. Jain on 4th July, 2011

The present education system in India is the western education which was introduced by the British rule and soon became solidified in India as number of primary, secondary and tertiary centers of education. The educational system in India has faced a basic dilemma ever since its introduction by the British. These are some of the faults that are found in the current education system.
Several children do not even get a basic elementary education. The rich and upper middle class in cities find decent quality private schools to send their children to. Even in these schools, getting a pass in the exams is the priority, not learning. Even these schools fail in teaching various arts, and in particular common sense to children. Both the private and government schools in smaller towns and villages are uniformly pathetic. Even if a student graduates from a higher secondary school, there are not enough colleges. The only hope left to most high school graduates is correspondence education. The graduates are mostly unemployable, because of poor quality course material and teaching in the colleges.
The UGC chalks many points to improve education in India but is not taking any immediate steps to develop the educational system of India. So, it is in the hands of the government of India to take necessary steps against the challenges faced by the present educational system of India and to improve the level of the present educational system to a standard level.
