Why large number of students seeking higher education abroad???
Why we are unable to provide world class education???
What was lacking in Indian education system???
…………………………………………………………………………………
There are two main problems:
1) The supply of good college seats
2) The actual course content and intent behind education
…………………………………………………………………………………
The first problem is about the supply of A-grade institutions vs the number of A-grade potential students.
With one crore students taking the class XII exam each year, the top 10 per cent, the high potential population by any global standard, deserves a world-class institution. That means we need 10 lakh good, A-grade, branded college seats per year. Either the government provides them, or they work with private participants to make it happen.
Solution:
Real estate and faculty are often the biggest requirements in creating a university. The government has plenty of land. And any advertisement for government teaching jobs gets phenomenal responses. After this, there could be running costs.
Over 150,000 students every year go overseas for university education, which costs India a foreign exchange outflow of US$10 billion dollars(47,000 crore rupees). Part of that money would be diverted inwards if good colleges were available here.
……………………………………………………………………………………
The second problem: the course content itself. What do we teach in school and college? And how much do you use it in daily life later?
Ask yourself, has the world changed in the last 20 years? If yes, has our course content changed at the same pace? Has it even changed at all? Who are the people changing our course materials? Do they have real life corporate exposure?
In India, we study for grades and to get a job, gaining knowledge is secondary.
Innovation, imagination and creativity crucial for the country as well as more likely to bring the best out of any student have no place in our education system.
We need change-embracing leaders….we need bharata ratnas, noble prize winners, Olympic champions…..
lets do what india need from us.....
