Education system in india

 

 “An investment in knowledge pays you the best interest”.

The role and importance of education system could be best understood by the above lines, because knowledge is something which lasts with you forever.

Education is the catalytic tool that has the strength to transform the present and future of the youth and children of a nation. A pre-equipped education is the prerequisite for the smooth, operative and constant growth of a country. A well-established education system serves as a building block for a nation on which the entire socio-economic structure is built up. The goal of a sturdy and effective education system is something which every country cherishes in the present time. India is also running behind this to attain success in the education sector, but with an outdated study pattern. As the current world operates on the principle of ‘adapt or vanish’, similar concept is applied in the field of education too.

As it was rightly said by Einstein that“Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”.This is what currently prevails in the education system of the country too.

These days the phenomenon of brain drain is also very much common in India. This happens because country’s youth is not getting adequate opportunity to exhibit their talent or in fact they are being debarred from reasonable chances to recognise and hone their skills. This happens because of some rigid policies of the government, which were initially introduced to safeguard the interest of minority and also due to rampant corruption prevailing in the country. Due to this, the fresh talent and young-thoughtful minds are moving towards developed nations such as the USA, Japan, and Germany, etc. in search of better opportunities, which in turn leads to outflow of knowledge of India for the betterment and development of other nations. The irony is that we Indians are deprived of all those comforts and facilities derived from the scientific researches and tech-advancement undertaken by Indian scientists in the foreign countries. 

Once there was a time when only hard work paid off but now there is a complete change as this is the era of more practicality and hence more practical approach is being appreciated. This development of practical approach is somewhere missing in current education policies. However, it is not just the sole responsibility of the government and policy-makers to impart world class education to the youth. Change in the outlook of perceiving education can also prove to be helpful in reshaping the entire education system of the country at individual level itself.
