National Education Policy needs revision
National Education Policy, needs another revision. The state of
education, particularly in the critical primary and pre-primary years, is far
from satisfactory. Children in elementary education should be provided with
classrooms, uniforms, textbooks and other teaching materials, and a larger
contingent of teachers.
Getting children into school is the first step.
Create the kind of workforce that India
wishes to develop: nimble, highly-skilled and ready for the digital age, the
global economy and new pathways of occupational mobility. Boost the quality of
learning in higher and vocational education.
Policymakers ought not to ignore early childhood education
and primary schooling, the phases during which the most important cognitive
development milestones are attained. The government should make a system to
examine the level of education. Lack of teaching staff is a major problem in
primary education system. Government should organize Teacher Training Program
on the basis of modern concern to make education more approachable to students.
Regionalism has killed education to some extent. There should
be only one national policy on education and it should be implemented at all
states and UTs without any variation. Different education boards like CBSE,
matriculation state board etc have created problems in ensuring good education
to all. Irrespective of the board, the teachings are going to be the same. Over
emphasis on educating in regional language has killed adaptability of the
educated to changed circumstances.
Despite many efforts by educationists and scholars, the
education system remains pathetic. The recent moves to reduce expenditure has
further dented the quality of education. The alarming dropout rates and
students inability to read textbooks of lower classes indicates the lack of
qualified and dedicated teachers who in turn around plagued by less
remuneration and station in career. Children should be encouraged to think scientifically.
There is a lot to be reformed in education as well as management of teachers
and students
The single biggest problem in government schools is that
teachers don't show up and the government bureaucracy steals the money that is
provided. You will discover that even poor parents try to send their children
to private schools. We need a strong public private partnership for our dreams
for the next generation. The broken system today is a legacy of our left wing
elites who have given us this disaster where government provided education
fuels not literacy but corruption.
The governments are second to none in creating infra
facilities to augment school goers’ rate and reduce the dropout rate. Yet the
quality of the education is not up to the mark and the pedagogic styles need high
revamp. The teachers at rural levels want urbanised life and they are never
ready to provide inclusive education to rural students but give their wards
access to refined education without cost botheration. Dedicated teachers are
scanty and governments lack of botheration on quality of education are the
stumbling blocks for a good educational system.
