Skill based education system should be introduced and for it, Teachers should be included in the mechanism of policy framing as they are familiar about the necessities required. Thus it will prove beneficial and improve the status of education in India. Privatization is not the solution to the issue rather a combined effort could bring in better results. Thanks for the informative post, keep sharing the updates.Olympiad Successhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247038583534551666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-87344879274304010372015-07-24T16:12:42.186+05:302015-07-24T16:12:42.186+05:30No one directing the education in right direction....No one directing the education in right direction. The basic reason is avoided. Read my two brains story to get basic reason. http://blogs.rediff.com/upashu1/ or on http://educationsysteminindia.quora.com/<br /><br />There is basic reason why we are as we are, why we remain and will be as we are, until we change out thinking and thus until we teach our students to think and grow rather than take it and vomit it.<br /><br />our system has created a separation layer between real life and education. It is pressure from parents and society that some children are going to school for rote learning and vomiting on examination. NO one likes it, and everyone who will be free to escape it, will escape it.<br />Do you want to like see boring movie and writing their dialogue, because someone will take exam?<br />Make education interesting by involving students in teaching process, by increasing their curiosity, by relating the facts from real life examples. Situation will automatically improve.Ashutosh Kumar Upadhyayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17909148854870366327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-764274886564487762014-08-05T07:24:36.731+05:302014-08-05T07:24:36.731+05:30Are our private schools really any better than gov...Are our private schools really any better than government schools? Fancy facilities don't teach children to think independently and create their own work. Ask a child from the fancy private schools a question which is not in the book and the child says, "My teacher didn't teach me that!" <br />The need for the hour is not providing education for the masses though private institutions. Administrators don't have any understanding of the philosophy or the strategies of education. We need to work to better our government schools by holding people accountable from the government departments onwards!Samvihttp://www.indianparentsforum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-25843285290380882472014-01-17T00:53:45.835+05:302014-01-17T00:53:45.835+05:30The blog treads on a contentious topic and I feel ...The blog treads on a contentious topic and I feel that in the Indian context the following points need to be addressed in the educational system<br />•Private schools charge exorbitant fees but they do provide good amenities, so the government should follow suit though at an affordable price<br />•The basic framework of imparting education needs to be revamped to make the students industry ready<br />Aditya Pandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150362295546227236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-80079755083491772262014-01-16T14:59:39.271+05:302014-01-16T14:59:39.271+05:30Considering the situation in India still rural and...Considering the situation in India still rural and government schools have not enough facilities related to education and lots of needs to be done. Apart from that if we look into urban schools and colleges the education is inclined towards theories only and most of our youth are not ready for the industries. I think not only fees of private schools or cost of the education is the only issue but the most important issue is the curriculum of the course, method and approach to deliver the same are the most unnoticed issues. I know education does not mean to make products those are ready for industries but apart from 10 different goals it should be one of them to give practical exposure by innovative "learning by doing " approach. I think changing educational framework and updating course curriculum is the challenging issue for our government and it should be the top most concern for our all political parties. It’s my reflection after reading your blog and I want to know views of all the readers of this blog as its debatable issues and if we want to change anything than this is the best medium to express our own reflection and we have to encourage people to come forward and discuss these issues and share on social media so, that these issues are reflected in political agenda soon and we can witnessed change in education system of India.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11084816441464533532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-7056313930656970682012-09-20T11:20:18.170+05:302012-09-20T11:20:18.170+05:30I think those Pisa results, albeit correctly admin...I think those Pisa results, albeit correctly administered, have a terrible dampening effect on the entire community. Indians who are happy to criticise the country use it to flog it further. The results of students in some city schools, aiming to go abroad for an education, need not fit into the PISA paradigm of 73rd in 74. Therefore, an understanding of results of urban vs rural need to be published to be fair. Rural and urban students are as different from each other as oranges to apples. So let us know the city grades before we demolish everyone because we used the same paintbrush. <br /><br />When we talk of failure rates we need to cast a glance at the reliability and validity of questions asked and see if they are reflective of higher order thinking, application and personal responses. The news then might be worse than the ones published. <br /><br /> The expense on education is not too high, it is the accountability that is the problem because we are looking at getting garbage for peanuts here. The government needs to have transparent and open parameters for their licencing act to differentiate between education merchants and professional facilitators. There is a coalgate there that no one is unearthing. Everyone who makes a few bucks wants in on education, so film stars, politicians and builders have clusters of schools.<br /><br />Schools themselves have no mandatory criteria for reinvestment in teacher education, the pathetically outdated B.Ed courses are never looked at and revamped by Kapil Sibals. Pick up the rigour in final levels of your Board level examinations in terms of higher thinking questions and application based problems and see how the machinery gears up to make it happen. It is simple. But who will bell the cat that seems to be lapping up lucrative cream? In masks of hypocrisy this conspiracy of mediocrity in which all stakeholders (teachers, schools, parents and kids) are equal participants, sit smug with their marksheets, until a PISA slaps the bad news on their faces. Then the blame game begins and cosmetic solutions are blogged and discussed.
