Education system in India
Education system in India, challenges and major areas for improvement
One of the most vital parts of our life is Education. India is amongst largest higher
education network in the world. The structure of higher education consists of
three years of education after twelve years of school education. Main streams are
arts and science and four to five years in professional fields like engineering and
medical. Only 7% of the population that goes to school managed to graduate. A
few reasons why education in India is given less importance in some areas are as
• In India, the system of education is mainly theoretical. Theory of a subject
is very important, but unless and until one knows its practical application
and how to apply it, the education is not fruitful. This is so because the
current market is fully practical oriented and unless you are practically
ready with your subjects, you have a very less chance of getting selected in
any company. So the education system in India should be changed in such a
way that everyone should get education and they become ready to meet
the current world necessities with their practical knowledge.
• Most of the schools are managed by the government. Mostly people opt to
become teachers for easy and secure jobs with good earnings. They have
almost no passion to teach. Teachers’ performance is not evaluated and
they have no goal to achieve.
• Private schools are expensive and out of reach of the poor. Also, the focus
of the school is mostly the financial growth.
• Infrastructure facilities at schools across rural areas and in slums dispense
very poor quality of education.
