Education System in India
Education is the basic requirement for every citizen of the Country. Change is the low of nature. Everything in nature change with time. We all are aware of changes in our life in the last 10 to 20 years, we are now living in an era of information technology. Everything is changing more faster than ever but for our Education system. From Postcard or letter we have moved to email, Whatsapp, From telephone to mobile and from mobile to smartphone, from bank to ATM and now to Paytm. Everything has changed so fast but our education system is still in its initial phase. Still, many unprivileged children are unable to go to school, there is much difference bet ween Government School and Public Sector School, Private and Missionary School, Way of teaching is altogether different. There is much discrimination in the system. But to make our India rise faster we have to improve the education system. In this article, we are giving the basic problems in the Indian Education System and some Ideas to change it for the improvement of our country.
1- Lack of Infrastructure:-
There are many discrimination regarding infrastructures. Schools in public and Private sector in Delhi or in many big cities provide smart classes and AC rooms with different facilities. But in rural areas, approximately 95% per cent of Schools are not yet compliant with the complete set of RTE infrastructure indicators. They are still struggling to comply with the infrastructure guidelines that are mandated to meet as per Right to free and Compulsory Education (RET). They lack drinking water facilities, a functional common toilet, and do not have separate toilets for girls.
2- Non-Uniformities of Boards:-
In India, there is discrimination in Education Boards also. Due to the different language in different states, there are many differences in languages. There is a difference in the evaluation system. Some apply number system some grading system. There is non-uniformity in the syllabus of the various boards causes non-uniformity of curriculum throughout India so maintenance of quality standard is quite difficult.
3- Poor Global Ranking of Institutes:-
India is struggling to maintain its position in the global standard. Only 4 Universities are featured in first 400. This is mainly because of high faulty student ratio and lack of research capacity.
4- System of Education:-
Our system of Education is mostly information based rather than knowledge-based. New technologies have improved the rate of change in the society but we are unable to provide knowledge about these changes to students so we are getting far behind. The focus is on cramming information rather than understanding it and analysing it.
5- The get between the Education Provided and the Industry Required Education:-
Our education system is theoretical. Practical application and applied forms should be applied. That is why although we have a large number of literate people even then skilled person are in demand. The industry faces a problem to find suitable employee as education provided is not suitable for directly working in the industry so before that company require to spend a large amount on providing training for employee.
6- Gender Issue:-
Although many changes have occurred in society and status of education have improved a lot even then traditional Indian Society suffers from many kinds of discrimination so there are many hurdles in the education of a faculty-student unprivileged section of the society like women, SC, ST and minority.
7- Costly Higher Education:-
Higher education is still very costly for many Indians. Professional education is unreachable for many lower-middle-class families. Still many able children have to skip higher education due to household responsibility and costly education. A very minimal amount of subsidy is provided for higher education so if the students seeks to get chances of higher education still, he misses out because of lack of economic resources.
8- Inadequate Government Funding:-
Government is trying to fill the gaps. There are many funds available for studying in India and abroad. But the demand for financial resources far exceeds the supply. A very small amount is available for innovative programs and idea.
Solutions
There are some basic problems we are facing in our education system. But the world is changing world we have to make so me major changes, to fill the gap between privileged and unprivileged. To make the young generation of India a better resource for society.
1- Adoption of Technology:-
The technology is growing very fast, we have to keep pace with it and utilise it to improve our education system. Effective use of technology tools in teaching has many benefits. It will solve the many problems of infrastructure quality.
2- Teacher Training:-
Training is one of the essentail parts of human resource development. With the change in society, we have to become adaptable to teach our children in a better way. Teachers training remains one of the most chaotic, neglected and deficient sectors of India's vast education system. This needs to be changed as they virtually hold the destiny of the future generations in their hands.
3- More Government Spending:-
As our future depends on our younger generation, the government should invest more in education and make it better. India targeted towards devoting 6% share of the GDP towards the educational sector, the performance has definitely fallen short of expectations. Also, funding is needed to be spent on building infrastructure.
4- Inclusive Education:-
The education system should take into consideration all the sectors of society whether they are women, weaker section or minority, equal education will help the society to improve. As the mental level of people should improve to grow the growth in the education sector should incorporate all sections of society like rural, poor, woman, Backward classes etc.
5- Quality Education:-
Quality education is the need of the hour. Every individual is gifted with different talents our education system should try to enhance that talent and should provide different skilled professionals in various field. Education provided should meet the need of student e.g. education provided to hearing impaired or slow learners. It should allow them to enhance their skills and get better employment option.
6- PPP Model:-
As our population is exceeding a limit our efforts are not as sufficient as required. So we should promote private Sectors to come and take part in the professional development of youths. Public-Private sources and to encourage the active participation of the private sector in National Development. It is more forcefully advocated when public resources are projected to be inadequate to meet needs.
7- IES:-
A common plate-form is required to meet the requirement of improvement of educations. An All India Education Services should be established which will decide the policies of education in consultation with educationalists. The mission should be to improve the future generation so that they may be able to cope with the fast changes in the society.
8- Education Policy:-
Personality development is one of the important aspects of education. Education is responsible for the overall development of an individual. Education policy needs a frequent update. It should cover the personality development aspect of the student. It should also imbibe the values of culture and social services.
The refinement in the education system is the need of hour. Our children are looking forward to improvement in their life. Time has changed a lot, technology has taken place of many manual efforts, education system should also be changed so that our children can be able to cope up with fast changes in the society.
