INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS : CHANGE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
Prepared & presented by :
Sheth Bhaumik l.
ANCIENT INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM :’GURUKULA & VISHWAVIDHYALAYA’
Gurukula System : an important concept associated with pursuit of studies in ancient India.
Vishwavidhyalaya : ancient Indian universities
Nalannda university Taxashila Kanchi Ujjain Subjects astronomy, mathematics, vedic
literature , medicine etc.
CHANGE IN EDUCATION SYSTEM DUE TO BRITISH IMPACT : ‘FROM MAHARSHI TO MACAULAY’ 1835 Dominance of English
language as a medium of employment and education
Establishment of teacher-training schools for all levels of instruction.
led towards the nationalization of many universities
Many advantages but one biggest loss :
Education lost its own esteem, and Indian touch
INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM : ‘POST INDEPENDENCE’
Strong central control over education
Guided by national goals, aspirations as embodied in Indian constitution
National Policy on Education (NPE) was adopted
In 1949 a University Education Commission was appointed under the chairmanship of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan to study the problems of university education and to recommend remedial measures
INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM : PRESENT SCENARIO & CHARACTERISTICS
PRIVATE TUITION CLASSES :
‘ A CANCER IN THE BLOOD OF EDUCATION’
Impact on mainstream schooling(mainstream teachers may not need to work hard)
Impact on societies(rich-middle-poor difference in education)
Economical impact on families
Psychological & physiological impact on student
ONLY EXAM ORIENTED STUDY :‘THOUSANDS OF CHATURS OF INDIAN EDUCATION’
Bitter though the fact is, but it has to be accepted that recent Indian education system is only exam oriented , we all have to ‘memorize’ the facts and ‘vomit’ it in the answer sheets.
Less practical approach Hard work of 1 year(or 1 sem)
checked in 5 min Should test logical and
analytical skills regarding particular subject
EDUCATION SYSTEM-KILLING CREATIVITY? : ’GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE..’
Present education system –only deals with the ‘GYAN’ between two covers of the book only.
Knowingly or unknowingly , other extra curricular activities like dance, sports, arts, music have been buried under the coffin –partially or totally.
CORRUPTION IN EDUCATION SYSTEM:‘GALI GALI CHOR HAI..’
Report of UNESCO-25%-teacher absenteeism-second in the world
Drain on resources-22.5% waste of education fund
Politics for teacher appointment ,transfer
Absent of well established criteria Cheating in examination,
examination paper leak scam Money on the name of entrance
test by diff. institutes Quota system-lacks transparency Need to curb the bribery rackets &
corruption rings
CAREER CHOICE ON PARENTS/ PUBLIC/TEACHER ADVICE :’KUCHH TO LOG KAHEGE..’
Indian education system has a particular characteristic that in it, the career of a student is decided by a parents /public / teacher’s suggestion.
Their suggestion should be taken into consideration while thinking, but the final decision should be our-SELF DECISION.
Career choice should be based on interest, hobby, & self desire.
This type of careers have more success rate & satisfaction level
MID DAY MEAL SCHEME : ‘NAM BADE AUR DARSHAN CHHOTE..?’
The Mid-day Meal Scheme is the popular name for school meal program in India. It involves provision of lunch free of cost to school-children on all working days with an objective to:
increase school enrolment and attendance,
improve socialization among children belonging to all castes and addressing malnutrition
But it lacks in its efficiency by: Delaying in implementation Non nutritious Quality of food misused by government to promote
classism & other political benefits
OVER EXPLOSION OF PRIVATE COLLEGES : ‘VACANT SEATS, LOWER LEVEL OF EDUCATION’
•Due to loose control over the certificate approval to private colleges by state and central government , there has been a hike in no. of colleges for same course.
•But all the private colleges do not have all the prerequisite facilities and infrastructure.
•So, as a result of this, seats remains vacant in all these colleges and level of education lowers down.
TOO OUTDATED SYLLABUS – MISMATCH WITH JOB REQUIREMENTS: ‘OLD IS NOT GOLD..’ Growing mismatch between the needs & education received Poor quality, outdated undergraduate education – created a
shortage of trained personal This has driven in company's training cost high Needed change in curriculam but we can’t accept a sudden
change-basics will remain same & atmost necessary
COSTLY HIGHER EDUCATION: ‘MAHENGAI DAYAN KHAI JAT HAI..’
Though present of higher education on India has increased in a considerable amount , but with it the cost of higher education has also increased
Increased price of textbooks, stationary and school fees has put a large amount of economic burden on parents & it has affected lower and middle class a lot.
LACK OF INTERACTIVE CLASS –BORING ATMOSPHERE:‘NAA BOLE TUM , NA MAINE KUCHH KAHA..’
Indian education classes have an inevitable property of one sided ‘baby feeding’ style of teaching instead of true interactive classes
Mostly , Neither students are used to ask the question or clarify the doubts frequently nor the teachers care about it.
MOTHER TONGUE OR ENGLISH? : ‘MEDIUM MYSTERY..’
Educationalist agree that it is best to teach in mother tongue-because it is difficult to grasp contains in language other than it, but total dependence on mother tongue can cause many problem in this global era.
English-considered as a passport to social mobility-becoming preferred by higher-upper middle level class, but it is difficult to teach in lower-urban areas.
STRESS, DEPRESSION & INCREASING RATE OF SUICIDE : ‘I QUIT..’ Suicide rate has increased from
7.9-10.3% -in which major part is student suicide
Reason of suicide : Ignorance & misperception by
parents & public Academic pressure from parents
for higher grades These increase No. are very
disturbing and demand concrete solution
Though many corresponds programs have started –needed to widen the area & increase its efficiency.
100% LITERACY RATE : ‘MISSION IMPOSSIBLE..??’
Response to the demand regarding basic education
Wide convergent frame work for implementation of elementary education
Adult education : an important aspect
Loopholes: Teachers-need to take their
jobs seriously, proper qualifications required
Efficiency-needed to be increased
RURAL WOMEN EDUCATION :‘MUNNA & MUNNI AT SAME LEVEL..’
“If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a whole family. women empowered means mother India empowered.”
-Jawaharlal Nehru
Educated woman-play a significant role overall development & progress of country.
Government of India-recently launched ‘Sakshar bharat misssion ‘ for female literacy and has spread awareness in most remote and rural parts.
UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT OF PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM:‘I WAS BORN INTELLIGENT, BUT EDUCATION RUINED ME..’
Learning is easy-requires no effort Like instant food, there is an instant
knowledge, instant skill ,instant experience
Prosperity requires no hard work This present education system is
totally absurd-then why to pay attention to study??
CHANGE IS NEEDED, BE THE CHANGE..
