Quality education in India is the hour of the need

Education is a new concept in India as it has always remained as an integral part of the Indian society. With the development of the modern India, education has taken a giant leap and it has caught the global attention not because of its illiteracy but the quality of education it promotes.

In the recent past the Indian economy has witnessed an immense growth due to the prospering literacy rates in the country. Since the times of ancient India when the concept of Gurukul was promoted to the present age where online education is gaining momentum; India has travelled far and across.

Let’s analyze the present and the future educational scenario of India-

Education in India

As per the present statistics, the primary education has crossed the mark of two-third of the total population. Out of which the 40% of the population still remains illiterate and it is only the remaining 20% of the lot that is attending the schools.

Since time immemorial the discrimination that happens on the basis of caste and gender has remained a major deterrent when it comes to healthy development of the society. To avoid such practices to take precedence, the Indian constitution has made the primary education as a compulsory form of education. It is compulsory for the children who fall in the bracket of 6 to 14 years to have education.

The university grants commission established by the Indian government focuses on increasing the level of higher education in the country. The role of UGC lies in controlling and coordinating the required standards of the country.

Present Scenario

To promote education in India, government has abolished child labor and stopped the children from working in unhealthy conditions. The enforcement is difficult to be applied completely due to poor economic conditions and social disparity. Some of the other reasons are lack of sufficient resources and lack of political support.

The government has initiated several programs to instigate the education system and make it reach to a wider section of people. There are programs that focus specially on girls and children who are handicapped or form poor financial backgrounds. However, in spite of the constant efforts to develop a qualitative education system, still there are some loopholes. Even after the bill passed by the right to education act India 2009, there are some loopholes and prejudices.

Education must be given importance as it is the one thing that no one can take away from you. You can always share your education with others and spreads the light of knowledge.
