TWIN CHALLENGES IN INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM



The two challenges Indian education system is facing are:
1.      The Dualistic character
2.       Inadequate trained man power.

Dualistic character operates with a strong class bias. There is a wide disparity in quality. On one hand there are students from affluent private schools and on the other students from poor quality schools. The poor quality infrastructure and unhygienic conditions negligence has taken 23 innocent lives in saran district of Bihar in Mid-day meals food poisoning. State should implement any entitlement in its spirit rather than its form and there has to be willingness to put in money that is required. Kendriya Vidyalayas, IITs, AIIMS are examples of well funded public institutions delivering quality education.
Another problem is the dearth of trained manpower. Apart from traditional training and recruitment ,alternative means of teaching modules should be explored ,for example we have corporate social responsibility mandatory for companies, medicine graduates to practice in rural areas ,like wise every graduate should be given field work to teach students of remote locations be made compulsory in their curriculum. This can bring a paradigm shift in our value and belief systems towards our educational system.
