Indian Education System Needs Serious Reforms
Our Indian Education System needs serious reforms and changes. India needs reforms from the basic itself. The preferred choice of learning is memorizing facts. Here, to judge the student’s talent, there is only one parameter, i.e., the percentage in the board examination. So students just mug up and indeed Indian education is spoon feeding.
The Need for Practical Learning in Indian Education
Need for reforms in the education system
There is no practical knowledge in our education system. Our education system mainly focuses on theoretical knowledge. Some basic theoretical knowledge is needed, but our education system focuses more on theoretical knowledge. The Indian education and social systems are very hard on kids and completely ignore their feelings, opinions, and ambitions. Kids are pushed to study from the age of 3. Non performers are treated as dolts and ostracized by parents and society. My opinion is this: our education must be all-around development. It should be based on creativity rather than mugging. Practical or visual education must be promoted.
Rethinking India’s Education System
In India, we say IITs and IIMs are the best institutions. To get admission in these institutions, one has to do a lot of hard work all throughout days and nights. Those who get admission in these institutions, it’s a boon to them.
But if we consider the global level, where do these institutions stand?
From IIT to IIM Global Need to Reform
According to “THE TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION,” only two institutions in India are among the top 200 universities. They are IIT-Delhi at 154th rank and IIT-Bombay at 174th rank. No other universities from India are on the list, whereas in the United States, there are 58 universities on that list, and Harvard University is at the top. In the UK, there are 29 universities, in China there are 8, and in Japan there are 9 universities.
There was a joke to describe the situation of the Indian Education System –
A student is sitting idly in class while others are furiously jotting down the professor’s words.
Professor: Why are you not taking notes??
Student: I already have it from my grandfather.
What I’m trying to say is that we are following the same algorithm again and again. And we are expecting a wonderful result. If we want to get the desired output, we have to make changes in that algorithm and execute it. Or else we will keep on saying that India is a developing country.
To put in a nutshell –
India’s reforming its education will become Developed from Developing.
Indian Education system needs serious reforms, and the steps that should be undertaken are:
1. Despite having the desire and skills, thousands of students in the country were not able to pursue higher education. Only 15 percent of the students in the country have access to higher education. This situation should change. The Central and State governments should work towards making higher education accessible to all.
2. The varsities were burdened with the conduct of examinations, evaluation, and publication of results. This needs to change. The universities should take up more research, publish research papers, and bring in more innovative technologies.
3 . According to a global survey conducted in 74 countries, India was ranked 73rd in terms of quality of education, while China got the top spot. We need to do more to improve the quality of our school education.
We must take immediate action to enhance the level of education, which will not only increase an individual’s knowledge but also contribute to the country’s upliftment. By doing so, we will propel India to become one of the best in terms of education, ultimately transforming it into a developed nation. Therefore, it is imperative that we acknowledge the need for serious reforms in the Indian Education System.
