Flaws in Indian Education System

 

Written By - SAMRIDH GAUR

First of all let me tell you something about the Indian education system it was imposed on as by the Britishers not for our growth and development . It was implemented on us so that we follow every instruction given to us and we do not question what the Britishers are doing with India and with us.

 

The present state of education in India is on a rough and bumpy road.

Achievement of a 100% literacy rate in primary education is still a dream lost somewhere in the hazy cloud, the most basic foundation step of quality education. Over 500 million people in India still do not have access to primary education. The majority of the students in poor India drop out of schools before writing their 10th-grade papers.

Let us discuss 5 major flaws in the Indian education system 

1. INEQUALITY

There is a wide disparity between the rich and the poor in the country and an equal level of disparity in terms of access to the elite education services. Quality education can be accessed by the people the only few people who can afford it.

2. Rote learning

Our education system is more inclined towards rote learning instead of practical applications and analytical skill development. Although the government has taken initiatives by introducing the CGPA system at primary and secondary levels and university levels, the system lacks the availability of trained personnel and staff to facilitate this kind of education structure.

3. Poor Infrastructure

Government schools and colleges are in a very miserable condition. They lack good infrastructure in terms of classrooms and books, stationery items, etc. Due to the unavailability of proper infrastructure many students from classes 1 to 5 study at the same time in the same classroom, thus it is degrading the quality of the education system in India. I believe this is one of the biggest flaws in the Indian education system.

4. The bad state of teaching

The quality of teachers recruited at low-income schools, government schools, and mid-income schools is not up to the mark. They do not possess good communication skills and a thorough knowledge of the subject.

5. Societal and Parental pressure

Societal pressure is one of the major problems in our country. It is eating away the creativity in the minds of children. Making them cramming nerds, and disturbing their emotional quotients. Parents force children to get into the best institutes for financial security ahead. They force them to study the professions, they do not have an aptitude for.

Government's role

The Indian government has established the University Grants Commission (UGC) for promoting and accelerating the education system in India. This commission functions mainly for the upliftment and betterment of higher education in India. For the primary education, the government has also taken a few steps. One of the main problems in the education of India is the economic problems in the families. For this, the government has made elementary education for the children in the age range 4-14 years compulsory and free of cost. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is made mainly for the poor children. In this, children are given free education with one time meal. Added to this government has also taken steps in imparting computer education in the primary levels.

Schemes for Education

The two major schemes for primary education are following. 

1. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

2. Mid Day Meal

3. Scheme of Vocational Education

4. Inclusive Education for Disabled at Secondary Stage

5. National Scholarships

In conclusion, the Indian education system must change for the better. It must give the students equal opportunities to shine better in the future. We need to let go of the old and traditional ways and enhance the teaching standards so our youth can get create a better world.
