Introduction
Indian education has its roots in
the ancient age where they followed the Gurukul system. However, this system
was changed during the colonial era when the British set up schools that
followed a curriculum confined to subjects such as math, science, etc.
Today India is the second-largest
higher education network in the world but the system of education in India is
not up to mark as 25% of the Indian population is illiterate. According to the
United Nation Development Programme, education global index rank of India is
135.
According to a global survey
conducted in 74 countries, India was ranked 73rd in terms of quality
of education.
Our education system making focuses
on theoretical knowledge. Subsequently, there is a lack of practical knowledge.
Indian schools emphasize more on theory than the implementation of the theory
and that's why we see students struggling for getting a job even after finishing
their studies.
Not only the level of education is
increased which will enhance an individual's knowledge but also it will, in
turn, lead to the upliftment of the country that we are in dire need of and
certainly, India will become one of the best in terms of education by coming
onto the path of becoming a developed nation.
The Indian education system as a social system is very hard on kids and completely ignores their state of mind,
opinions, and ambitions for their future.
Lack of Top quality education programs,
poor quality of teachers, outdated syllabus, lack of infrastructure in college
as well as schools are some of the lacunas which need to get redressed.
The Indian education system needs
some major changes to uplift its education quality. Some basics of theoretical
knowledge are needed but our education system should focus more on practical
aspects. Certain facts need to be developed:
●
To provide real-life skill
●
Finding the perfect balance between traditional
linear and complex
●
Transformed the realm of teaching
●
Students are building the same conceptual
foundation
The
focus should be on skill-based education.
Reforms should be based on aligning education
with a society's core values. Reforms that attempt to change a society's core
values can connect alternative education initiatives with a network of other
alternative institutions.
Education reforms desire to make public education into a market in the form of an input-output system. This conceptualization of educational reform is based on the market logic of competition.
Quote
"Give a man fish and you feed him one day, teach him how to catch fishes and you feed him for a lifetime".
As Dr. Abdul kalam
By applying the same algorithm again and again, and we are expecting a wonderful result if we want to get the desired output, we have to make changes in that algorithm and execute it. Our education system must be able to pursue the all-round development of students. It should be creative rather than mugging up what has been taught. According to modern demand, visualized and technical education must be promoted. We are determined to acquire and maintain a framework based on capacity building for teaching faculty, using diversified pedagogy for teaching process, encouraging creative patterns that promote positive behavior, and applying the educational infrastructure to boost innovation.
Hence it can be rightly said that the Indian education system needs some serious reforms.
