I think there is no problem related to the system of education in india, according to me most of the people of our country migrate to different countries after getting education for work and then use their skill for those countries. this is the most affective reasion by which india is stll under developed.

The education system in India is fine, but our value systems are all askew. We don't know where to draw the line when it comes to ruthless power games, competition and even give up decent behaviour in the name of success.

More than our citizens are blind folded they don't want to grow and are happy with what they are going through and the government is taking undo advantage of that.So we will be only sitting and blaming things or thinking to do lot for our country, But a matter of fact we are weak inside. But am sure one day a revolution would be created by the next generation.

There is a feeling in India that Indian education system is the best education system - better than US and other countries. I had a chance to go through the American curriculum and their books and compared them with the books for the same level in India. What I found is that the American books are oriented more towards practicals rather than our books which are mainly theoretical. The children studying American curriculum learn by doing while the children following our CBSE learn by commiting them to memory. No prizes for guessing which is better . If our education system is indeed good, why are so many persons going abroad to pursue their higher education?

Most of the unrest and disharmony happening every where, may it be of social, political, various disruptions caused by actions and counter actions of different ethnic groups and communities turning into religious and regionistic extremism, are due to the shift in the focus of life among the mass especially the village youth, due to desperation fermenting of the prevailing situation that deprive them options and opportunities to grow up and lead a normal life. The framework of 'Education' should be such to address the above issues. Definitely, there is much to be desired in the current Indian education system. Those who have time, please read my article "The bitter pills for India reprieve" in 'Social and community affairs' community.

Our system of education produces more muggers than talents. IOt needs lots of changes like in the way subjects are taught, the way knowledge acquisition is assessed, the way students are promoted, the way admissions are given, the examination system, etc. the entire system has to be overhauled. This may be happening in some private schools, but then they are too expensive to be afforded at common levels and the benefits derived and shared.

If one observes the children going to school with large burdensome bags on their backs one wonders whether the children are given education or they are being trained to carry weights. The bag consists of all text books, homework books, classwork books, slip test books so on and so forth. Most of what is taught is not useful in the practical world. One finds most of the youngsters committing suicide for failing in a subject or two, that means our education system is not teaching the children how to face the problems, solve them or attempt to solve them or overcome them and proceed further in life. one exam result ends the life of the youngster it is so bad, the blame is on the education system and also on the parents who might have scored average marks in their studies but expect their child or ward to top the class. The education system needs overhaul and also there should be some counselling for the parents too.

There is a theory in Eveloutionary Psychology called Hamiltonian theory where it says that if 'r' is the relatedness of a person to fellow human being, for example your syblings will have an r of 1 with you carrying similar genes, cousins 1/2 and second cousins 1/4th. Let 'b' represent the benifit to your fellow human from your empathy and 'c' the cost of your empathy. Then if c is less than 'r times b' you will be will be willing to help your fellow human being. So if you see your healthy brother drowning at your peril you will try to rescue him of the situation because you have a need to spread your genes to posterior generations and this through your brother. This is the 'natural selection' route. In India with a class based society and the poor people being low castes with no political power, and the political elites helping them out incurs costs higher thand 'br' of theirs and they don't do anything much to improve the situation. So nothing worthwhile can be expected in the near future.

I am not blaming on the education system of india (a cause for under development)but it also true that education system and education is not utilised completely. There are many reasons behind it like croupt system, leaders, and many institution give stress on money earning only etc. In short we need to improve it, and its only possible if we all make efforts towards it. i think centralisation of education system must be done.

India fails to recognise and learn about the benefits of education. for building developed society two things are importannt - Education
- Health facilities
- But both the things are neglected in our country. Govt. spends only 3% of its GDP on education which is insufficient. Countries like- USA, Germany spend 1/2 and 3/4 of govt. expenditure on health services and education.
Its commonly heard in every election poll that youth are the future, they should be empowered etc. yet Indian govt, failed to show any considerable improvement in the child literacy.

HI DIPTI. THE PRESENT DAY EDUCATION SYSTEM WAS FORMULATED DURING THE BRITISH REGIME WHEN WORLD WAS NOT SO VERY DEVELOPED.LOT OF WATER HAS PASSED THRO THE THAMES FROM THEN ON.EDUCATION SYSTEM SHOULD BE FOCUSED MORE ON TECHNICAL SIDE IN SUCH A WAY THAT MORE STUDENTS CHOOSE A COURSE WHICH CAN HELP THEM STAND ON THEIR OWN LEGS INSTEAD OF GETTING EMPLOYED IN A POSITION WHICH HAS NO RELEVANCE TO WHAT THEY STUDIED.THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH GUIDANCE FOR THE STUDENTS TO CHOOSE A COURSE MATCHING THEIR INTERST AND SKILLS.

We need rapid changes in education system in India. On the one hand we need to focus more on inculcating moral values in our so called educated persons, on the other it need to be more practical oriented and broad based. We need to understand that India is now a global player. Its education should be capable of producing global citizens. Thus in my view, education should be kept exclusively in centre list. Secondly, private participation should be encourage for building large global standard educational institutions.

There are inequalities in Indian education system. Education should get 7-10% of GDP. Money should go for primary education rather than for secondary and higher engineering college/university like IIT/IIM. Various technical & medical institutes are business ventures for the promoters.Now the higher education has a dream for the middle & lower income group.

Hi Vipin, Thank You for raising this very very relevant and important topic especially in the present scenario when several changes are being introduced in the Indian education system at high school and college level. Your point on less education.......here I can add that Education is now a right - but then how many will be able to avail this right given the mindset of the community - howvever, it is necessary to say that every decade brings changes and often for the better. Your point on improper education.....here I can refer to mass cheating in schools and colleges, fake degree scams, forcing children to take a subject even if they underperform and the massacre caused by constant and many times insistent comparisions of marks of siblings and fellow classmates. Surely, a change is needed in the education system. One of the good things of the Indian education system at school level is the diversity of the syllabii. This allows the students to get a glimpse into different subjects and develop a all round understanding of the world. One of the bad things is the disparity. While the top 1 or 5% are able to avail an all round education which includes studies, sports, social life and some hobbies the others remain stuck with just one aspect of an education and many with no education. These days this can be seen among the labourers working on the CWG construction sites. But this decade is bringing positive change - the undertrodden are becoming more aware and alert and the top 5% of the population is more willing to give them a helping hand.

We must stick to the subject : Education for all. I want permission from Mr. Domenico to coy-paste some lines from him, if not all : " Edu system in India is perceived by foreigners as more centered "to improve the top" than "to enlarge the base". Just the opposite of the basic choice made in China for example. ... .... " Unless we may educate all, our progress may remain fructured. We may not reach all the gifts of development/s to the people at large. Our Education "delevary" system requires fundamental change. Govt. should allocate more % of GDP for education so that this reaches to lower level of the society.

Yes we need upgradation of educational system in India and also need some major changes in other sections also. I have some points to mention:- - More incubation center should be developed in all science,technology and engineering colleges where students are capable of designing and developing new ideas and technologies.
- All colleges should have mentors appointed for their students who will study and know the unique skills of their individual students and encourage them to excel in their field of interest so that they can become excellent in their field.
- Nowadays students focus on quantity but not quality.They run after marks but they dont give importance to knowledge.A large percentage of students in India have excellent marks but its not compulsory that they are excellent in their fields,which is required.
- We can also see that a graduate who get appointed by a company in a field ,which is similar to the field in which he studied,still the company need to give thorough training and other knowledge,which may not needed to be given up to that extent upto which it is being given.I agree that the studied booky theories are different from practical professional life's issues,but basics are same,but still they are needed to be trained for that.
- While recruiting, a company HR should focus on quality of a student rather than his marks,but a minimum standard marks is required though.A student with a lesser marks may have better knowledge of his/her field that a student with higher marks.A recruiting procedure should involve evaluation of practical knowledge of the required field also.
- Parents should give space to their children so that they can choose the field of their choice and like,so that they can excel in that field.
- Its believed that when a passion and interest becomes a profession of a person,he/she creates a big competition for others who dont have the same profession as their passion/interest.
- Indians should not think of working for other countries,if we can stop drain of scholars and excellent professionals from our country,then we can achieve our goal of becoming a developed country,faster.

We know that Govt. run system is always corrupted and there you will not observe any improvement. Govt. recently opned Indian education industry for foreign Universities and colleges under RTE, but problem will India have is Why should they come here? Here Indian student are habituated with old teaching style and they won't be perform well in those universities and due to this those universities' reputation will affected and they won't compromise their quality just for shake few profit from really talented students and they are not in mood to destroy their Brand name which they've made in past 100 years.

We have seen lot of Business orientation has happened over education sector , now to avail the basic education is difficult situation in rural areas... The current education system is based on traditional format of operation which based on reservation and demeritasition of scholars’...This needs to be revamped Everyone undergo through a different stages of education system.. 1. Basic Education 2. High School/Primary/Secondary 3. Higher studies These three stages are very significant for all of us to undergo, now a day’s higher studies is more important for all of us due to increasing job demands due to competitive factor, few people having ability to pursue higher education this is due to business orientation of education sector lot of politicians owns the education institute for the admission back doors are always opened with donations…this leads to degrading the value of educations…. We need to revamp this process of education system the selection process has to be purely based on merits but not on reservations only for economically backwards people… no other system of reservation to be followed….

With all due regards to all views regarding education...i would like you all to study the education industry..it is no longer a noble profession..it has turned into a money making business, and if you guys keep an eye on the kind of money even school are charging you all will be amazed,thats why in regions like greater noida and noida, pune are coming up with huge number of educational institutes, because for them its a profitable business...no body would have ever thought that educational institutes will be promoting their brands with sports like IPL BY PAYING A HUGE MONEY FOR SPONSORSHIP AND THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION THESE INSTITUTES ARE PROVIDING IS PATHETIC,, government has allowed private institutions but the government bodies themselves keep no check on the educational quality and student teacher ratio....their are colleges where more than 1000 students study MBA, and the AICTE NORM IS OF 240 SEATS.

It's a good debate.First of all, who said that we are under developed?.We have well developed in many fields & Industries due to good education.We have very beautiful education source in India but the main reason why it's not reaching each & every citizen?.Because Education depends upon the money holders.Wherever you go, without money you can't touch the wall of education also.Eventhough we have lot of efficient guys but they are working for other countries for the sake of earning more money.Why US, UK & most of the superpower countries recruiting mostly Indians because we have excellent education but it's not reaching every door.The law has to come that education if free for all .It should be make as mandatory.

Hi ravali, you are right... India has the best education system and even the history is proof . Still we have but we have lost values. No one want to be far from his mother land, his family, his memories ..... how is it painful - i know very well. I feel it every moment. But some reasons , some conditions , they make the person to do what he does not want. The developed country do nothing, they just collect the talent . and we have talent but just loosing it. why?-- that is the matter to think about....... and as we will correct that mistakes, we will comes to know, no need to be developed , we already are.

I object Ravali, we should not worry at all of our people going abroad and serving people over there... rather we should be proud of if! And moreover why should we think about only India and Indian? We all are human being and there should not be any discrimination of nation, religion or colour. we all got same blood, flesh and born. So, i agree you that we got a bettet educational system than anyone else in the world, but we should not be that selfich that we should ask our youths to stay back for our country. let them serve the WORLD!

YES WE DO... WHAT WE NEED IS AN EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION SYSTEM ! Education Quality has never been a problem in India... We have churned out the Best Doctors, Engineers, Architects, Technicians, Acamedicians n so on... Its the Spreading of THE EDUCATION NET, which is of grave concern. Education must reach the Grassroot level and from there will Start the actual Revolution. The GOVT. MACHINERY is to blame, If the funds allocated for Education, dont reach the Targetted Spots. I think IF EACH ONE OF US EDUCATES JUST ONE INDIAN ( Basic Educaton )... Harvard & Oxford will shift their base HERE ! Happy Debating Friends !

The education system needs to ensure that all the members upto a certain age are educated irrespective of their family and other background. This will help to bring all the members to a certain level. Further focus on education for the under privileged classes will also help to bring equality in education for the masses. This will help to improve the economic conditions in the country. However, these policy issues need to be implemented fully and monitored continuously to reap the benefits.......

Indian education is, generally speaking, comparatively pretty good; but not in all senses world-class. There is scope for substantial improvement too. However, it's opportunity that falls short - whether in jobs or career. Unemplyment - and under employment - is high, and so brain drain occurs. It may be unrealistic to expect individuals to stay on at home when they have superior prospects abroad. By prospects I do not mean only the pay and benefits or living standards, I mean also job satisfaction and career growth. I think along with improvement in education, growth of the economy is as important for India and Indians to develop...

We have efficient Education system in India and the government has also taken many innovative schemes and programmes to provide Efficient educatiion like Sarvasiksha Abhiyan to provide free and compulsory education upto the age of 14 years .Many childrens don't get the primary education due to dropup of students at the middle because of their family pressure some parents think that what is the use of sending our children to school instead they can help them and work for the family income. some children who are intrested in getting the higher education, they can't afford due to higher fees which they can't afford, hence they tend to discontinue, never opt for. If the government provides some of the professional courses at consession fees poor people will able to get the higher education As a result the nation will develop
