The Top 10 problems in the Indian education system

India is a huge country with a lot of challenges and problems. The Indian education system is one of them.

Everyone knows that the system is too outdated that even doesn't match with the current circumstances.

In this article, I will tell you about the 10 problems in the Indian education system.

1. Race for marks

The education system in India is based on the marks. Every student is competing with one another to gain more marks.

Race for marks to get admission in colleges, jobs, and so on. Marks are a factor in judging a student's identity.

2. Structures of schools and institutions

Here, I am just talking about government schools. The condition of government schools is terrible.

Malposition of walls, chairs, desks, tables, and boards. The classrooms are so filthy and dirty.

Sometimes structures look like shambles.

3. Unprofessional teachers

Most of the teachers in Indian schools are not certified. They don't have the proper knowledge of their field.

For example, a good professor at Harvard takes more than $2000 a month compared to just $800 in India.

There are a lot of unauthorized institutes in India.

4. Syllabus and course

The whole syllabus is too outdated, theoretical, and mind stuffing. There is a very less number of practical activities in Indian schools. Even Harvard provides 80%practical training.

That's why Indian students have filled mind, not formed. The syllabus doesn't meet with the requirements of the corporate sector or the real world.

This is a prior reason for unemployment in India.

5. Creating workers force

Students are perplexed about their careers. The system has created them to work in a factory, but not as an employer.

Every student thinks about achieving high marks and getting a high paid salary job. This is the ultimate goal.

6. Monopoly of private institutions

India follows a socialist economic model. Both private and govt have an important role in the education sector.

Considering the negative environment of government schools, parents prefer to admit their children to private schools.

Taking advantage of this, private schools charge a high amount of fees.

7. 70% attendance criteria

The tactic used by the government to bend students towards the so-called education system, but all went in vain.

Now, students bunk the schools after the interval by fulfilling the condition of 70% criteria.

8. Reservation for lower classes

The reservation for lower classes came to be as a barrier for the general class. They have to fight a lot to acquire their place in higher institutions.

For example, the last cutoff is 98%, even if they have proper skills.

9. Same thing for everyone

All animals can't climb a tree. Even the fingers of one hand are not equal. So, how can a student be equal in all subjects?

But in the Indian education system, everyone has to undergo the same tunnel to prove themselves.

10. No teaching of manners

Teaching manners to students is the last topic in our education system.

That's why you will find a lot of students abusing and mistreating elders.

Conclusion

The Indian education system is under the monopoly of the sleepy government. There is a strict need for reform in this sector.

Till then, students should follow the following things:-

1. Focus on skills than marks

2. Become a creative person

3. Show your different personality

4. Encourage other students

5. Have faith in yourself.
