EDUCATION SYSTEM

We all know this topic , don't you . being this is a hot topic we all know it . Its the most popular among
students , they have a myth that the students with good marks are intelligent and less marks is dull
headed therefore there is a rat race for the marks only is it ture . is this the only fault of students or
teachers . Many professers from all over the world comment on it .

Indian education system is one of the largest in the world with 1.4 million schools, 36000 higher
educational institutes and 227 million students. There are 789 universities, 37,204 colleges and 11,443
stand-alone institutions in India- UGC.Is some education is better than no education! More Indians are
attending school than ever before. But they are not learning much. The world's biggest school system is
also one of the worst.

Education is fundamental to an equitable society. The truth is that today, we are failing the majority of
our children.

When there is smoke there is fire! The fire we are concerned about is the unproductive, fruitless
education being provided by parents and teachers the mind set is all worng ! Students study only to
score marks in exams, and sometimes to crack exams like IIT-JEE, AIIMS or CLAT and NEET. They are not
allowed to practically study things , to practically examine . the parents the teachers and all thoses
mentors want theory . we cant learn to ride a bycycle via reading a book .In India the British introduced
education systems to create clerks and civil servants. They now prepare to become engineers or doctors.
We have not deviated much from that pattern till today.Students are spending parent's life savings and
borrowed money on education - and even then not getting the standard education, and struggling to find
employment of their choice. In Inida, millions of students are the victim of an unrealistic, pointless,
mindless rat race. The mind numbing competition and rote learning do not only crush the creativity and
originality of millions of Indian students every year.Students learning in an environment where their
marks define who they are and where do they stand in the crowd. Only the marks are going to
determine their future options. Securing more marks only stands in their minds. There is less focus on
achieving excellence. The story of marks does not end there. Results are announced in public. The
tension starts here. Comparisons start. One is inferior or superior depending on the marks secured.
Being the worst cherry on the top of a bad cake is the career pyramid. A doctor is superior to an
engineer who is superior to an accountant and so on.

Govt schools struggle with poor facilities, unskilled teachers and high dropout rates. Statistics don't lie
and lack of qualified teachers is a problem in both private and government schools. This is because
teaching has always been the last career option for bright, young people.Appointment of ad-hoc
teachers, Lack of accountability of teachers, non teaching duties, Lack of teacher training, Poor
compensation etc add to the miseries of education system.The current situation of teacher quality and
effectiveness is deplorable, but the problem is not insurmountable. In order to attract and retain highly
effective teachers and principals, we need to make targeted investments to incentivize change in our
education system.The shortage exists because there are simply not enough qualified teachers to fill the
number of vacant positions. There are not enough teachers who are both qualified and willing to teach
particularly in those serving low-income students. The shortage has important consequences for the
quality of education that students receive.Teaching profession is a revolving door. Too many teachers
leave teaching. School staffing cutbacks, personal and family matters and job dissatisfaction are more
frequently cited as reasons for the exit.

An excellent education equips children and youth with the knowledge, skills, values, and mindsets
needed to be empowered individuals and responsible citizens. The fact that a high-quality education has
wide-ranging benefits for individuals and societies has been demonstrated, time and again, by countries
across the world. With nearly 1 in 4 people below the age of 14 years, India today stands at an inflection
point; where we go from here depends in large part on our ability to provide equal opportunities for all
children to attain an excellent education.

BET ANY THING FIRST CHANGE THE MIND SET THAT ALL BEGINS WITH MIND SET ...........

Here I would like to end this
