FLAWS IN INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

- VEDANT DAVE

MAIN REASONS BEHIND FLAWS IN INDIAN EDUCATION 

1. Lack Of Resources

One of the most important things that affect the work and progress of educational systems is the economic status of the country. Even though the Indian one is currently 6th in the world by nominal GDP, there is still a big lack of resources that are related to the educational sector. As India represents the 2nd largest country in the world by population with over 1.2 billion residents, you can assume how tough it can be to sort all the necessary segments out. 

2.    Bigger Focus Is on The English Language

Bigger Focus Is on The English Language

Another big problem in the Indian education system is the language that students commonly use to learn. The main focus is on improving the English even though it’s not the native one. And this eventually results in poor numerical skills and local literacy of Indian students. Furthermore, it also forces students to quit other activities in colleges like writing essays, for example, as they are usually presented in English instead of the Indian language. 

3.     Neglection Of the Practice

Something characteristic of Indian educational institutions is the neglect of the practice experiences. Studies are mostly focused on providing students with theoretical knowledge which affects their ability to use the knowledge they gained in the right way. 

4. Educators Put Students to A Lot of Pressure

There is no doubt that the learning process, as well as the entire schooling period, can sometimes be stressful. In fact, it can be positive for students to get unnecessary experience and learn to cope with tense situations. 

5. Questionable Quality of Teachers

Something necessary for students’ exponential growth is quality teachers alongside. If that’s the case, they will have well-educated tutors that will help them achieve their goals and guide them throughout their education. Unfortunately, this can’t be seen in India by any means. On the contrary, teachers frequently don’t possess enough quality to guide the students properly.
