Indian Education Problems

 

* Lack of Practical Knowledge

Judging students in the Indian education system relied on academic performance rather than overall achievement. This affects students who are weak in certain subjects. Book knowledge is the supreme motto of the Indian education system. The main purpose is given only to theoretical knowledge, not practical knowledge. As a result, most Indian students are unemployed even if they are highly qualified.

 

 

* No possibilities outside of study

As you can see, the Indian education system has always been a traditional education system. So it is called Gurukul system where all kinds of education is offered to students. They were unknown from any region. They don't study music, art, archery, yoga, literature, etc. However, as time passed, many changes occurred in our education system and that is the beginning of the modern education system.

The fashionable school system was brought to India in the 1830s by Sir Thomas Babington Macaulay. This new education system was very different from the traditional system of "Gurukuru". By this time all subjects had been taught, from Sanskrit to scriptures, from mathematics to metaphysics. The guru teaches the scholar everything he wants to learn, from Sanskrit to the scriptures, from mathematics to metaphysics.

 

* The Wrong Learning Method

One of the main problems with our system is the wrong learning method. If a student does not understand a concept, the teacher suggests 'Ratta Mar' as a learning method. The same scene can be seen in the Indian classroom that appears in the movie "3 -IDIOTS". This movie shows very well what can happen when a student gives a speech without understanding the topic. Our system basically encourages students to cram the entire textbook without even understanding it, and then present it to the exam questions.Thus students become rankholders.

 

* Lack of funding and qualified teachers

Indian universities lack funding and infrastructure. Many universities do not have sufficient resources to improve the quality of their education, resulting in a lack of infrastructure, teaching environment, and qualified teachers. Schools and university infrastructure in rural areas are of very poor quality. There is a shortage of qualified and trained teachers. Teachers are not very qualified, they are not paid properly and therefore they do not work with interest.

* Education has no value

Most parents, especially in rural areas, are not interested in sending their children to school for a basic education. They believe in making money from childhood and send their children far away to make money. There is also no room for creative learning or thinking, students are always tied to a specific curriculum and are not encouraged to study better so that they can get a job later.

 

* How it is often improved

It is important that students acquire practical knowledge first. The curriculum should be designed for the current needs of the world. We need to change teachers and the employment system for teachers. Teachers and schools should be knowledgeable and provide appropriate training. Governments should focus on quality education. Governments and other institutions need to understand the importance of quality and education. Consideration should be given to the overall development of the infant and care should be taken to ensure that the child's overall development is revealed.

* Conclusion

 

Without a doubt, we all suffer from the Indian education system which needs improvement. If skills-based education and quality education are needed now, only our country will move forward.
