Facts About Indian Education System

Just one out of nine children finishing school joins a college. India has one of the lowest higher education enrolment ratio of 11 per cent.

Only one out of ten Indian students with degrees in humanities and one out of four engineering graduates are employable. So much for India's boast of having one of the largest technical and scientific manpower reserves in the world.

A study by the national assessment and accreditation council showed that 90 per cent of the colleges and 70 per cent of the universities that the council graded were of middling or poor quality.

Shortage of teachers was endemic with even the IITs reporting a 20 to 30 per cent shortfall in faculty.

On an average most Indian universities revise their curricula only once in five to 10 years.

Studies show that the number of students committing suicide because of the pressure to perform well in secondary board exams is rising alarmingly.

Almost half of the country’s population is below 25 years and 10 per cent of them or 12 crore are between the ages of 18 and 23 if equipped with both knowledge and skills, they could drive India's entrepreneurial and competitive spirit and make it into global power.

My Personal Opinions are…

College field education system should be implemented in the schools from the

middle class standards itself. Continuous evaluation systems must be

held with the parents. Actual interests of the individuals should

be identified and discussed with their parents.

Scopes all the possible fields must be introduced to students and their parents

also. And many more…

Hmm. Ok…
