what ails our education system
the idea is good but pls note we have too much focus on graduation learning rather than skill enhancement .Many of the graduates which are coming out from umpteen universities and private colleges are having no value addition -rather they become overqualified for a traditional job and not qualifiable for getting a job which needs really professionalism.This leads to what we call jugad -using caste,family,religion,community as a basis for securing a job somewhere.Such persons are already dead and of no use to country at large --and u have too many such people.Actually Macualey eductaion system was to create clerks and people for subordinate services .--So focus needs to be on professionalism in every job whether it is sweeper,farmer,wood cutter ,traditional arts ,high end space aviation etc and unnecessary people should be encouraged to go for meaning less education .However educational instituion should be flexible to accomodate a person willing to learn at any age.
I have done my graduation from IT-BHU established by Pt Madan Mohan Malviya as one of its kind in 1905.The idea has always been to do things inhouse and achieve the maximum level of self reliance.
But today we have leave aside others 100 OF INSTITUTIONS new IITs now which still need a college campus,AIIMS which still needs a hospital .
See IIT is a feeling a thought an idea an feeling of we are the best.But if u do not maintain the top of the standard we are going to degrade them .
Today 1000 OF STUDENTS rather every one is able to do engineering from somewhere leading to a collapse of the market value as a whole and sustainability of the system.
Instead develop based on industrial and agricultural nation which we are let people specialize in things which are going to be useful to us as a country or else we have too many graduates engineers or doctors who do not have a proper job and they will also be like BA and BSC graduates comming out from so many universities without any inkling what they will do. more
