An overall view
How did we start?
The education system in India was completely

different before the Britishers Invaded India. The gurukul system, where the young students goes to a teachers place to complete their education was completely scrapped and new education system was chosen among top priorities. Now Indias urban literacy rate is 82 % and it produces millions of graduates every year.

FACTS
India is one among few countries to have large

pool of Engineers and scientists. The education in India is cheap compared to the developed as well as developing countries.
The Government of India spends about 4.2 % of

the total GDP expenditure.

The languages of instruction for education in

school include both regional and English and English being the preferred one.

Primary Education
The Primary education in India is considered a

basic right and also compulsory. The primary education is completely free in government run schools and the highest grade is grade 5 in primary after which a student should qualify to move to secondary schools.

Secondary Education
The secondary education spans for a duration of 5

more years. The Qualification exam after standard 10 will decide the direction of studies that could be taken in Higher secondary.

Senior-Secondary Education
The focus of study is narrower in higher

secondary which lasts for 2 years, grade 11 and 12. The fields of study include science, mathematics and science for engineering, commerce and vocational education.

What is UGC?
University Grant Commission, in simple words

this grants commission has got the rights to provide a institution the proud status of being an institution.

The Universities must obtain the permission grant from the University Grant commission (UGC) for accreditation to offer recognized degrees .

Indian education system:

India has a long history of organized education. The Gurukul system of

education is one of the oldest on earth but before that the guru shishya system was extant, in which students were taught orally and the data would be passed from one generation to the next. Now everything has changed. New method of education has taken the Indians to the next level. Thus it improved the knowledge and innovative ideas has come up in the minds of the Indians.

Some of the advantages

Reasonable education.

Equality in education.
Wide subjects for education

Despite all these we have many loop holes in our

education.

The Times Of India : (once quoted)

Education System in India is not Education its Examination

WHY?

Reasons:

Education system is Skill-Based. Which means that we are not trained in the fields we are already excellent or we want to excel. Theory-Based. (we know how we seriously we take our practical's) Most of the students believe in mugging up the things and focus on just the marks without knowing the actual concepts behind it. And here, We just want Exams, exams and

NO

SERIOUS WEIGHT AGE TO THE CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

We believe in studying and thats what we run after all the time. We dont care what hobbies we have or in what field we have an actual excellence.

WHAT CAN WE DO?

WHAT WE CAN DO
Provide skill-based Education. Practical implementation on what we do. Doesnt mug up things instead go for the concepts. Facilitate properly the modes of Examination. Examinations scares us. We must follow some procedures to reduce as much as we can do to lessen the psycho logic pressure upon the students
