Education System in India

Education System in India:
The present education system in India mainly comprises of primary education, secondary education, senior secondary education and higher education. Elementary education consists of eight years of education. Each of secondary and senior secondary education consists of two years of education. Higher education in India starts after passing the higher secondary education or the 12th standard. Depending on the stream, doing graduation in India can take three to five years. Post graduate courses are generally of two to three years of duration. After completing post graduation, scope for doing research in various educational institutes also remains open.
 
This is a wonderful topic for debate and has been so for a long time. There have been lot of times when people have come out and protested against the current education system. What we need now are not debates and forums to debate this topic on, but ACTION. For which none of us find the time and resources. Rather than debating on whether our education system is good or bad we need to build a forum in which we can get ideas on what we need to do and how do we bring about the change which we all want.
 
u noe... d eductaion system in india has gone 2 d dogs!! on a average if u c.. dey jus turn d students into lumps of data...!! der's no practical assessment!
 
Our education system is such where schools take on student who are avarage or above.They have interviews for parents students and then they decide on admision. If the student does not do well then he/she is week and if does well we are doing our best.

The schools today have no time to "teach" you have to learn of your own.They do not take pains to find out ways to bring up an average child to do better.There is no quality counsellers in school.Students who are not doing above average slowly start feeling they can not achieve desired goal and start faultering.The education system should be such that it brings out above average result fron an average student to instill confidence in him/her.

We have to have a system where students are divided into groups after say class 7 and based on individual studies like disk profile etc mould them into areas where we can build their confidence.
 
India needs to completely revamp its education system.
I personally think we should lay more emphasis on understanding and application than on writing pages and pages of mugged up answers.
Our exams are a test of presentation and writing skills instead of being a test of knowledge and understanding.
There are many good and smart students who are very intelligent but always score low marks because they have poor handwriting and prefer to write to the point answers than beat around the bush.
Examiners are paid so poorly that they believe in measuring answers( ruler or weighing scale, I don't know) instead of actually reading the answers. 30 seconds- 1.5 minutes is all that a student gets for his evaluation after persevering for two hours through sweaty palms and sore fingers and mindless movements of the wrist- unfair isn't it.
 
i think our education system needs lots of changes it should also give pratical knowledge as after all today pratical knowledge works more then bookish knowledge
 
here just to add one more point...in the his last budget speech our honorable finance minister announced % of gdp expenditure tht govt is planning for education and no one can beleive tht it was just 3.2% of GDP , even a small country like bangladesh spends more than us on their education system, so i think it is going to take hell lot of time.
 
why we hve been only talking abt primary level..even i saw many HR persons in top firms does the same thing, they evalute on the basis of your cgpa or aggregate marks in your grds, when i was in collage infy hr man used to visit our collage for placements, and pathatically they only entertain those students who had secured 65% above frm high school to last sem of grad, so if u screwed ur high school ur chances has gone for infy...welcome to India..!!!
 
yes the education system has its faults but still, looking at the number of indians making india proud as doctors, engineers, academicians and what not, around the world, we can say that it has something which clicks. it is not only the institutes of higher education which makes them what they are, the strong base formed in the initial yeras of education is also important. although the system needs to be updated and upgraded but i think the success of it and the form it actually takes, depends largely on the teachers and the students.
 
:happy:i think education in india , on one hand is considered to be the best in the world with the quality of students passing out each yeaR...its said that the number of brilliant minded students in india is far more than the total number of students in america..
but at the same time,,,are we reachin to all the children of our country...i.e to the remotest of the places...the answer is clearly NO...
some of the ngos and other organisations have started the initiative for educating underpriviliged children ....like the TEACH INDIA campaign...
but this needs to be done even at a much higher level...with the government taking some really serious measures...
and also at the highr level education like mba and even at the post grad level....the competititon is huge...many of the students not getting that good education,,,this mainly takes to the point of lack of proper infrastructure in our educational institutes...lack of the number of good institutes...etc..
the govt should allow the foreign universities to open their campuses in the country...and similarly set some benchmarks for all the institutes to get a AICTE approval...

i think that the education system in INDIA is very good but there is also a huge scope in improving the same...
 
well ..what is think why indians are getting good jobs or doing good work because of their learning aptitude or a hunger for success which is working like a driving force , undoubtly we have the largest pool of talents but how many are working in india because of lack of infrastructure and space to develope those ideas thaey have? so government needs to provide enough facility to develope quality infra and research facilities...!!
 
Education system in india is not so bad as it is considered.........


There are major changes that being taken place in the system and even in the minds of ppl. students today are expecting more and hence there arises a need of self -financeing cources . no doubt today these cources are bringing out actual talents of students and also inculcating professinalism in them which is very essential.

These things largely depend upon the attitude of students .........

this is wat i feel

Education system in India is quite flawed but there is a silver lining. The increasing number of females enrolling in institutes for higher education, the mid day meal scheme etc. are all positives that are improving the situation at the grass roots level.
 
hi..
i agree with all of you guys..., abd what i would like to emphasize on is that in India apart from education system alone... its the pressure that parents apply on children is also a point of major concern , which enforces such kind of education system that India follows ...
