THE PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM
The present system of higher education does not serve the purpose for which it has been started.
In general education itself has become so profitable a business that quality is lost in the
increase of quantity of professional institutions with quota system and politicization adding
fuel to the fire of spoil system, thereby increasing unemployment of graduates without quick
relief to mitigate their sufferings in the job market of the country. So, the drawbacks of the
higher education system underscore the need for reforms to make it worthwhile and beneficial
to all concerned.
Competition:
there is the most populated country in the world. Naturally there is too much
rush and competition in every field. So, rush to technical and higher education has increased
as scope for arts and science has become lesser and lesser due to lack of reforms and up gradat
ion in the course structure and materials according to the developments of the world. Also,
qualification in higher education gives added advantage to face successfully competition in
the job market.
Purpose of Education:
All round development of personality is the purpose of education. But the present day education
is neither imparting true knowledge of life, world and helping one stand on one’s own leg nor
improving the talent of a student by which one can achieve laurels in the field one is
interested. So, combination of arts subjects and computer science and science and humanities
or literature should be introduced so that such courses could be useful for the students to
do jobs after recruitment in some companies which would reduce unnecessary rush to higher
education.
Right Course of Action:
In around 240 Universities controlling somewhere 5000 colleges of various courses
churning out millions of graduates seeking jobs in vain due to lack of employability,
communication skill and entrepreneurship quality. to political rivalries and lack of investments in job generating manufacturing units and companies. This is one side of the picture.On the other side, all want to become Engineers or Doctors or Computer specialists in IT or Software, which is beyond the reach of many and also, all cannot shine in such a line if not suited later on. So, to overcome disappointments in the working life clear appraisal of one’s Self is necessary before pursuing a course of action.
For that not specialization but general education covering all subjects literature is very essential. After education, tour to all the places in India and world as far as possible with the
cooperation of government is necessary so that one can understand about people, culture,
arts, literature, religions, technological developments and progress of human society in
the world.
Basing this knowledge one should have a vision of one’s future life and work in the world and
decide about the future course of action, i.e. whether to go for higher education or do job
suitable to one.
Finally, based on knowledge only vision of the future life and work can be had; based on this
vision only a broad ambition can be fixed for oneself; and based on this ambition only one can
lead interesting life doing satisfying job to do remarkable achievements in some field in the
worldIndividuality Otherwise, the life of one will not be interesting but rather boring, monotonous anDfrustrating. This is mainly due to parental interference in the education of the children. Parental
guidance is necessary but it should not interfere in the creativity or individuality of
the students. Also, in spite of the obsolete type of education system, some are achieving
wonderful things in Sports, Music, Dance, Painting, Science and Technology in the world! This
is only due to the encouragement of the parents and some dedicated teachers in the educational
institutions.
Right Course of Action:
In around 240 Universities controlling somewhere 5000 colleges of various courses
churning out millions of graduates seeking jobs in vain due to lack of employability,
communication skill and entrepreneurship quality.
Higher Education:
Higher education is necessary for one to achieve excellence in the line one is best. But one
should be selected for higher education on the basis of merit only. Further, fees for education
in general should not be high; especially, the fees for higher studies should be within the
reach of every class of people in the nation.
Quality:
That is the way people’s quality of life can be improved and also, the nation can economically
compete with the developed nations of the world. So, private educational institutions can give
higher education to all irrespective of economic status of the students. As far as quality of
education is concerned it should be under the control of a central institute such as All India
Council for Technical Education and the respective Universities concerned.
World Class Education:
Indian government is not giving priority to the development of Standard in education. India
should aspire for the international standard in education. To achieve that goal it should
adopt uniform international syllabus in its educational institutions.
Many national universities allow studies in highereducation for foreign students in their
countries and through correspondence courses as
well. In the same way India Universities of world class education can also offer courses
of studies to foreign students taking advantage of the globalization process.Personality Development:
Finally, education should be for the flowering of personality but not forthe suppression of
creativity or natural skill. In the globalized world opportunities for the educated people
are naturally ample in scope. As aresult business process outsourcing activities
have increased competition in the world trade leading towards the production of quality goods
and their easy availability everywherein the world market. That is the way the world can be
developed for peace, prosperity andprogress by able and skilful men.

Illiterates are simply those who can’t learn, read or write. But does that translate into those who can’t learn, earn, read, breed; that those who can’t write are never right
Why do many poor children not attend school The response usually heard is that their families are too poor afford the education, and that the Government has been lax in establishing free education facilities at the primary level. Undoubtedly, these are responsible, but a little piece of news doing the rounds is that millions of kids are out of school because the places reserved for them by law were instead given to others like you and me. Although poverty and illiteracy have come down percentage-wise, the number of poor and illiterate people is going up, primarily because of unchecked population growth. Low productivity, ignorance and superstitions are the other causes.
Think about what you would miss if you could not decipher what was on the side of your medication; know what television show is coming up on your cable, or even read the daily news. The loss is insurmountable.
Poverty and illiteracy are linked to each other. The more the illiteracy, the more will be unemployment, which in turn, would encourage child labor. How many jobs can you think of, that do not require you to read or write? This is like carnage the mass without any weapons.
Effective learning and communication in this computer age is difficult without literacy, so is acquisition and sharing of knowledge and information. Literacy empowers the citizens of the country with weapons of rational thinking, liberty, cohesiveness and mutual understanding.
Literacy is a big force in alienating undemocratic forces and social and economic problems like terrorism, communalism etc.
Etiquettes are also closely related to literacy. You’re likely to behave in an organized and decent manner if you know when to do what. This creates a distinct line between the illiterate and the literate.
World Bank studies have established the direct and functional relationship between literacy and productivity on one hand, and literacy and the overall quality of human life on the other. I feel that, Progress = Successful people Total Population.
So people are the common denominator of progress. In fact, literacy is considered a pre-requisite for the physical and mental growth of people and the development of the nation as a whole. It is high time people in power realize the urgency to act now to solve the problems.
A certain percentage of seats should be set aside for indigent children and their education should be funded by government.

Education in Government Schools
These high rates of school dropouts as a result, lead to the ineffectiveness of the
reservation policy in institutes of higher education.
Complete privatisation of education is certainly not the answer. It would only drive costs of
education or the whole of society higher up and cannot possibly enhance accessibility of
schools substantially. The option of securing seats under the reserved category for the
economically weaker students in private schools may seem like an inviting option at first
glance but neither does it solve the problem of high costs of educating children, nor does
it respond to the dire need for schools in rural areas. Providing free education to children
methodologies stand obsolete and outdated, with the emphasis being on rote-learning and merely
developing reading and writing skills instead of holistic education. Lack of vocational
belonging to this category is a policy which private schools are in disagreement with. A
system in which the schools are owned by the government but managed and operated by the private
sector is a workable alternative. The government could bear the costs of running the
institution, with suitable incentives to the private players willing to invest in such a
venture (possibly in the form of tax benefits to the private organisation); while the
management and operation of the school would be in the hands of the private organisation/
establishment. While this would ensure an exponential increase in the quality of education
that is accessible to the masses, but it may drive up the government’s expenditure on
education. However, a public-private partnership in education is the most suitable scenario
to check corruption, ensure efficiency and proper utilisation of allocated funds.training and non-availability of such courses renders students with barely any employable
skills at the end of their schooling. These factors, coupled with other social circumstances
have lead to alarmingly high dropout rates in the country. Most schools are miles away and
largely inaccessible to the students. While noting that adequate number of elementary schools
is to be found at a “reasonable distance from habitations”, the ministry admits in its website
that this is not the case with regard to secondary schools and colleges. The gross enrolment
rate for elementary education in 2003-04 was 85 percent, but for secondary education, the
enrolment figure stood at 39 percent. Figures put out by the Ministry of Human Resource
Development’s Department of School Education and Literacy indicate that as many as two-thirds
of those eligible for secondary and senior secondary education remain outside the school system
today.

Poor Quality
India adopted a National Policy for Children in , declaring children to be the nation’s
asset. The population of children in a country comprise its human resources of the
future and the social, economic and cultural growth development of any society or community
hinges upon the quality of its human resources. Three and a half decades after the adoption
of the National Policy for Children, Finance Minister grandly allocated the
seemingly huge amount of exclusively to the education sector in his Annual
Budget last t, according to the , India has the lowest public
expenditure on education per student in the world. The prevalent differences within Indian
states in per student expenditure in the year painted a dismal picture. The highest
being the State that spearheaded the Universal literacy movement in the country spends
consequences and could lead to social upheaval. Schools in backward rural and tribal areas
are the most neglected, and the standard of teaching deplorable. Even in other areas, schools
to which children of the underprivileged have access are run by the State or local authorities.
By and large, these have a poor record of student; as the figures go from bad to worse with the lowest being
spending a measly child per year. So can it be said that funding is the issue with
government schools? Clearly not. It is one of utilization of these funds.
There has, unfortunately come into existence, a big class and caste divide coupled with a
rural-urban divide in education, in terms of facilities and quality which has serious social
. The most glaring of the problems with
government run schools is that of infrastructure. Poorly maintained buildings, dilapidated
classrooms, ill-equipped libraries and laboratories, lack of sanitation facilities and even
drinking water are issues that the students grapple with everyday. Availability of qualified
teachers and the student-teacher ratio is another tale to tell. The curriculum and teaching

something about India’s education
This particular question strikes me every time when I read something about India’s education
system. I see India’s education system as a stumbling block towards its objectives of achieving
inclusive growth.
Let me inform you about certain startling facts. India is going to experience a paradox of
nearly million people
joining the workforce but most of them will lack requiste skills and the mindset for
productive employment according to a report in DNA. India has about 550 million people under the
age of years out of which only 11% are enrolled in tertiary institutions compared to the
world average of
I wouldn’t be laying too much emphasis on the drawbacks of India’s public education system
because it has been an issue well debated over in the past and the main flaws have already
been pointed out before. I will be focusing on how the education system’s failure is leading
to another social issue of income inequality and hence, suggest certain policies to improve
India’s education system and reduce inequality.
The really critical aspect of Indian public education system is its low quality. The actual
quantity of schooling that children experience and the quality of teaching they receive are
extremely insufficient in government schools. A common feature in all government schools is
the poor quality of education, with weak infrastructure and inadequate pedagogic attention.
What the government is not realising right now is that education which is a source of human
capital can create wide income inequalities. It will be surprising to see how income inequalities
are created within the same group of educated people.Let me illustrate this with the help of an
example:
Let us take P be an individual who has had no primary or higher education. His human capital
is zero and hence it bears no returns. Let be an individual who completed his MBA from S.P
Jain college and let R be an individual who completed his MBA from Ahmadabad. The average
rate of return for an MBA student is . gets a rate of return of and
R gets a rate of return of due to the difference in the reputation and quality of the
management school. Let the income of and be .In a period of years, will be having
the same income as he does not possess human capital. For the same time period will earn an
income of and will earn an income . Now lets see what
happens when the rate of return on human capital doubles. Earnings of P will not change since
he does not have any human capital. Now Q is going to earn . going to
earn . Flabbergasting! As soon as return on human capital increases
proportionate
ly income inequality increases. With return on human capital doubling, income increases by
and income increases by.
The above example just shows the effect of the quality of human capital n income inequality.
if the government does not improve education system particularly in rural areas the rich will
which will also be a step towards reducing income inequality

The National Educational Testing Bureau of University Grants Commission (UGC) conducts National
Eligibility Test (NET) to determine eligibility for lectureship and for award of Junior
Research Fellowship (JRF) for Indian nationals in order to ensure minimum standards for the
entrants in the teaching profession and research. The Test is conducted in Humanities
(including languages), Social Sciences, Forensic Science, Environmental Sciences, Computer
Science and Applications and Electronic Science.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) conducts the UGC-CSIR NET for other
Science subjects, namely, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical
Sciences and Earth Atmospheric Ocean & Planetary Sciences jointly with the UGC. The tests are
conducted twice in a year generally in the months of June and December. For candidates who
desire to pursue research, the Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) is available for five years
subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. UGC has allocated a number of fellowships to the
universities for the candidates who qualify the test for JRF. The JRFs are awarded to the
meritorious candidates from among the candidates qualifiying for eligibility for lectureship
in the NET. JRFs are available only to the candidates who opt for it in their application
forms.
The test for Junior Research Fellowship is being conducted since 1984. The Government of India,
through its notification dated 22nd July, 1988 entrusted the task of conducting the eligibility
test for lectureship to UGC. Consequently, UGC conducted the first National Eligibility Test,
common to both eligibility for Lectureship and Junior Research Fellowship in two parts, that is,
in December 1989 and in March , 1990.
UGC conducts NET twice a year, i.e., in the months of June and December. The notifications
announcing the June and December examinations are published in the months of March and

SARVA SIKSHA
Children complete eight years of elementary schooling by 2010.
Focus on elementary education of satisfactory quality with emphasis on education for life.
Bridge all gender and social category gaps at the primary stage by 2007 and at the elementary education level by 2010.
Universal retention by 2010.
To achieve these objectives, strategies have been framed that include active involvement of local community groups and institutional capacity building for setting up of block level resource centres. These centres impart district elementary education plans.
The framework of SSA includes appointment of teachers, their training, motivating parents and students, provision of incentives, like, scholarships, uniforms, textbooks, etc. The programme also aims to open new schools in areas having inadequate schooling facilities and strengthen existing school infrastructure through the construction of additional class rooms, provision of toilets, drinking water facilities and so on.
Role of Private Sector in
Though the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is being administered through government and government aided schools, some private unaided schools are also actively involved in contributing towards universal elementary education. Recently, the government entered into an agreement with the World Bank (External website that opens in a new window) for assistance to the tune of US $ 600 million to fund the second phase of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan.
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan is a valuable endeavour of the Government of India, in the universalization of elementary education, which strives to help citizens to realise the importance of elementary education. Social justice and equity are by themselves a strong argument for providing basic education for all. Provision of basic education also improves the standard of living, especially with regard to life expectancy, infant mortality and nutritional status of children.

The education sector has been of vital importance to the Indian Government which has been regularly formulating provisions and schemes for promoting elementary education.
The Right to Education has also been enshrined as a Fundamental Right by the Constitution of India. It states that "The State shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age of six to fourteen years in such a manner as the State may, by law, determine."
To promote literacy among its citizens, the Government of India has launched several schemes such as the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya Scheme (External website that opens in a new window), Mid-day Meal Scheme (External website that opens in a new window) and the National Program for Education of Girls at Elementary Level (NPEGEL) - External website that opens in a new window. One of the most fundamental and promising of these schemes is the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (External website that opens in a new window).
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan is also known as the Education for All movement or 'Each One Teach One'. It was introduced in 2000-2001 as the flagship programme run by the Government of India. This scheme is framed to provide useful and relevant elementary education for all children in the age group of six to fourteen by 2010.
The Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan aims to bridge social, regional and gender gaps, with the active participation of the community in the management of schools. All efforts to support pre-school learning in ICDS centres or special pre-school centres in non ICDS areas are made to supplement the efforts of the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
Objectives of

the Millennium Development Goal of universal education. Both boys and girls benefit
from early childhood program mes. Flexible scheduling helps boys and girls who work inside or
outside the family. Schools closer to children homes make it easier for all children to attend.

these facilities, but boys benefit too. And violence-free schools are good for everybody.
Education is the key to breaking the vicious cycle of poverty. Once people can read they can
vote. Once people can add and do basic math they can run a business effectively. Education
allows people to be more productive, earn better wages, protect their health and have a
voice in their society. The power of education extends across generations. Children of mothers

Personal stories
Doing your prac in the country is a great way to experience a new lifestyle while developing
your teaching skills.
The University of recently made a conscious effort to provide pre-service
teachers with an opportunity to experience rural and remote practicum. Students undertaking
practicum outside the metropolitan area had tended to be from the country who were going home.
In 2008 a placement in Laverton, with free accommodation and transport, was advertised to
approximately 1350 students; only one expression of interested was received. That student went
on to have a successful practicum.
In 2009 the university secured 150 remote and rural practicum placements. Students were advised
of the opportunities during a lecture, and crucially the student who had previous undertaken the practicum
spoke of her experiences at Laverton and shared her photos. The result was overwhelming and all 50 places
were filled.
Cara-Leigh Christie, an early childhood student, completed a ten week practicum in 2009 at St
Joseph’s Catholic primary school in Wyndham. In early 2010 she is undertaking a ten week
practicum at Wangkatjunka Remote Community School and
is hoping to begin her teaching career at Wangkatjunka later this year.

Teaching in the country in a rural or remote school, offers great opportunities for both
experienced and graduate teachers. It can provide a very rewarding lifestyle particularly
if you choose to become involved in the wider local community.You will not only be making a
positive contribution to the lives of young people, but also have the opportunity to develop
your professional skills. Many teachers say their careers have progressed much faster as a
result of working in the country.
There are more than 300 rural schools located throughout WA, these are schools located
more than kilometres outside the Perth metropolitan area. Cities such as , Geraldton
or have a number of primary and secondary schools, while smaller towns like ,
Kununurra and Kalbarri have a district high school catering for students from Kindergarten to
Year schools on our interactive map.
Approximately 120 of these rural schools are in smaller communities and are part of the Country
Teaching Program.
Public schools can also be found in more isolated areas and are categorised as ‘remote’. There
are more than 40 remote schools covered by the Remote Teaching Service. These schools are
located in isolated communities with predominantly Aboriginal populations. Unless a specific
request is made by an applicant, graduate teachers are not appointed to a remote school.
In certain situations of geographic isolation where students are unable to attend a
conventional school, teaching is delivered by distance learning through Schools of Isolated
and Distance Education
Teachers seeking an opportunity to work in and contribute to a variety of rural and remote
communities may consider applying to join the Teacher Flying Squad.
Motivation
community established hundreds of kilometres beyond the bitumen certainly offers a very
different employment opportunity and life experience.
If you are a committed and motivated teacher looking for a unique and rewarding experience then
being a member of the Remote Teaching Service may be for you.
The RTS is made up of a dedicated group of around 800 teachers living and working in 82 remote
communities in Western Australia. They deliver flexible and innovative educational programs to
ensure all students in remote areas are not disadvantaged by their location and have access to
quality education.
The offers a range of professional opportunities for people who are creative and resilient.
If you are flexible and like working collaboratively as part of a team you will have the
opportunity to be part of an innovative learning community. Skills and interest in literacy,
numeracy and English as a second are highly valued.
Of course there are some challenges that come with working in remote communities such as the
isolation, varied accommodation and occasionally unreliable power and water! However, there is
also great potential to thrive both personally and professionally while experiencing a unique
lifestyle.
Having an adventurous attitude that makes the most of the diversity of the schools and
communities will ensure you have an enjoyable and successful experience.

Arts
There are many undergraduate colleges and universities that offer what is
called a liberal arts education. The concept of a liberal arts education was actually
developed by the ancient Greek philosopher . He believed that education consisted of
learning to communicate effectively, to read and understand very profound writings, and to
think critically. A good education should develop the student not only intellectually but
also socially emotionally, physically and spiritually. Today a liberal arts education in
is a multi-disciplinary education. In other words, although students still choose a
major, they spend the majority of their first two years studying a broad base of liberal arts
subjects before focusing on one area. The belief is that this type of liberal arts education
will develop the student into an individual who has a broad understanding of the world and a
varied set of skills that will benefit him throughout his life.
Typically, students attending a liberal arts college or university will be required to complete
courses in the following liberal arts subjects, regardless of their major: fine art, philosophy,
literature, social science, physical education, public speaking, writing, natural science, and
mathematics. The number of courses required and the variety of courses that the student can
choose from to meet those requirements will vary depending on the school. Also, because many
liberal arts schools were founded by or are affiliated with a religious organization such as
the Catholic or Methodist church, there may also be required courses in religious studies

Accrediting
There are several different accrediting organizations in the and universities and colleges
may be accredited by just one or by a few. Also, individual programs such as the engineering
program at universities and colleges can be accredited by a professional organization that is
specialized in that discipline.
The government does not regulate the quality of educational programs offered at
colleges and universities. Instead, the accreditation of a university, college or school tells
you that the school has met a minimum standard of quality in its academic programs. Accrediting
organizations are authorized by the US Department of Education to set these standards and then
evaluate whether a school's program meets them. If so, then the university, college or
school is said to be by that body.
It is very important to choose a school college or university that has been accredited by a
proper accrediting organization. By attending an accredited college, university or school,
you can be sure that your degree will be recognized by other colleges and universities
should you want to pursue an advanced degree and by employers. You can find out directly
from the school whether it is accredited and also by which organizations. This information
may also be available in some college guides. Beware of bogus accrediting bodies. Some schools
set up their own accrediting agencies which often look legitimate and then accredit their own
school so that they can claim their campus is accredited. Below is a list of reputable
accrediting organizations. Almost all reputable universities, colleges, and schools in the

course system
College courses are assigned a value in what are called units.The number of units
assigned to a course corresponds to the number of hours that a student will attend class for
that course. For example, a course that consists of three class sessions per week, and where
each class session last for 50 minutes, will be assigned a value of three units. Typically,
colleges require that students complete a minimum number of units in order to graduate, rather
than a minimum number of courses. This gives students more flexibility in what courses they
decide to take to complete their graduation requirements.
Most colleges and universities follow either a quarter-based calendar system or a semesterbased
calendar system. In a quarter system, the academic year is divided into three sessions called
quarters. Each quarter lasts about There is usually an additional quarter in the
summer, where registration is optional. Foreign students are not required to attend courses
in the summer to maintain their status. In a semester system, the academic year is divided
into two sessions called semesters. Each semester lasts 16 weeks. Again, there may be an
optional session during the summer.
Students who have registered for at units in a session are said to be students. Students who
have registered for fewer than units in a session are called students. Foreign students must
maintain a course .

Step Into College
In addition to rigorous coursework, studies have shown that students' eventual college
enrollment goals are consistent with those of their peers. In other words, students who are
surrounded by other students with aspirations to attend highly-rated, competitive colleges
and universities will themselves decide to pursue similar aspirations. Assistance from teachers
and other school staff is also extremely beneficial. Students who receive help from their
educators in preparing for entrance exams, in writing their admissions essays, and in
completing their college applications are usually more successful at gaining admission to the
colleges of their choice.
The types of academic courses that students take in high school are proven to be a crucial
factor in getting students admitted into top colleges and universities. The rigor, or level
of difficulty, of students' high school coursework affects their likelihood of admission into
a competitive college. For example, many fouryear colleges and universities require advanced
mathematics courses for admission, and students who have completed a rigorous high school
math curriculum are more likely to enroll in the college of their choice than those students
who have not.
Therefore, the selection of which high school to attend has an enormous impact on a student's
ability to be admitted to some of the most highly rated and competitive colleges When choosing
a high school, consider the variety and level of courses offered, particularly in mathematics.
Also consider the success rate of previous students at gaining admission to top-rated fouryear
colleges. Finally, find out how committed and involved the teachers and staff are to helping
their students reach their full academic potential.
