Education System in India

Prominent Educational Institutes in India:
There are quite a good number of educational institutes in India that can compete with the best educational institutes of the world. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Indian Institutes of Science, National Law Schools, Jawaharlal Nehru University are some such institutes.

Education for the Marginalized in India:
As education is the means for bringing socio- economic transformation in a society, various measures are being taken to enhance the access of education to the marginalized sections of the society. One such measure is the introduction of the reservation system in the institutes of higher education. Under the present law, 7.5% seats in the higher educational institutes are reserved for the scheduled tribes, 15% for scheduled castes and 27% for the non creamy layers of the Other Backward Classes (OBCs). Under the Indian constitution, various minority groups can also set up their own educational institutes. Efforts are also being taken to improve the access to higher education among the women of India by setting up various educational institutes exclusively for them or reserving seats in the already existing institutes. The growing acceptance of distance learning courses and expansion of the open university system is also contributing a lot in the democratization of higher education in India.

Conclusion:
Despite all the efforts to develop the education system in India, access, equity and quality of education in India continue to haunt the policy makers till this date. This has mainly been due to the widespread poverty and various prejudices. The inability to check the drop out rates among the marginalized sections of the population is another cause of worry. However, the renewed emphasis in the education sector in the 11th five year plan and increased expenditure in both primary and higher education can act as palliatives for the Indian education system.

The education system of India needs re-structuring NOW. It is high time that the government takes the initiative and remaps the system if it wants India to excel at a better pace...

The need of the time is that students have to be up-to-date of the current trends and scenario and skills available....
They have to be nurtured in the talents and skills that they would like to pursue later in their lives...
You cannot get up one day when you're in your teens and explore yourself...
That is the reason why teenagers in India are confused when you ask them what they want to do further in their career?

well well well i dont agree wid one of d posts which says indian education system is worst in world. Instead just search on d web n ull find dat its d best in d world.
Our academic curriculum is d best amongst all. We have best mathematics and science curriculum. What u study today in 10-12th outsiders study it in their PGs. Believe me guys dats d fact.
Dont forget what americans say - We get everything from d world but we get brains from India.
The thing where we lack is only n only our INFRASTRUCTURE. By dat i jst dont mean lovely buildings but d use of IT frm d beginning. Teachers shud b well versed wid IT systems and students shud b promoted @ d same level so dat studies become easy for them.
Another thing which certain companies have now started is joining hands wid educational instis so as to support students in all fields.
Dont blame our educational system.
Its just matter of time, things will get on track.

Plz reply all if u agree.
