INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY

The present educational system of India is an implantation of British rulers. Wood's Dispatch of 1854 laid the foundation of present system of education in India. Before the advent of British in India, education system was private one. With the introduction of Wood's Dispatch known as Magna Carta of Indian education, the whole scenario changed. The main purpose of it was to prepare Indian Clerks for running local administration. Under it the means of school educations were the vernacular languages while the higher education was granted in English only. British government started giving funds to indigenous schools in need of help and thus slowly some of the schools became government-aided. 

Contemplating on the new system which was introduced Mahatma Gandhi expressed his anguish in following words, "I say without fear of my figures being challenged successfully, that today India is more illiterate than it was fifty or a hundred years ago, and so is Burma, because the British administrators, when they came to India, instead of taking hold of things as they were, began to root them out. They scratched the soil and began to look at the root, and left the root like that, and the beautiful tree perished. The village schools were not good enough for the British administrator, so he came out with his program. Every school must have so much paraphernalia, building, and so forth. Well, there were no such schools at all. There are statistics left by a British administrator which show that, in places where they have carried out a survey, ancient schools have gone by the board, because there was no recognition for these schools, and the schools established after the European pattern were too expensive for the people, and therefore they could not possibly overtake the thing. I defy anybody to fulfill a program of compulsory primary education of these masses inside of a century. This very poor country of mine is ill able to sustain such an expensive method of education. Our state would revive the old village schoolmaster and dot every village with a school both for boys and girls. " 

Today education system in India can be divided into many stages.

Pre- Primary - It consists of children of 3-5 years of age studying in nursery, lower kindergarten and upper kindergarten. At this stage student is given knowledge about school life and is taught to read and write some basic words.

Primary - It includes the age group of children of 6-11 years studying in classes from first to fifth.

Middle - It consists of children studying in classes from sixth to eighth. Secondary - it includes students studying in classes ninth and tenth. Higher Secondary - Includes students studying in eleventh and twelfth classes.

8

Undergraduate - Here, a student goes through higher education, which is completed in college. This course may vary according to the subject pursued by the student. For medical student this stage is of four and a half years plus one year of compulsory internship, while a simple graduate degree can be attained in three years.

Postgraduate - After completing graduation a student may opt for post graduation to further add to his qualifications.

Education Governing Bodies

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE): This is the main governing body of education system in India. It has control over the central education system. It conducts exam and looks after the functioning of schools accredited to central education system.

The Council of Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE): It is a board for Anglo Indian Studies in India. It conducts two examinations 'Indian Certificate of Secondary Education' and 'Indian School Certificate'. Indian Certificate of secondary education is a k-10 examination for those Indian students who have just completed class 10th and Indian school certificate is a k-12 public examination conducted for those studying in class 12th.

The State Government Boards: Apart from CBSE and CISCE each state in India has its own State Board of education, which looks after the educational issues.

The National Open School: It is also known as National Institute of Open Schooling. It was established by the Government Of India in 1989. It is a ray of hope for those students who cannot attend formal schools.

India has about 688,000 primary schools and 110,000 secondary schools. According to statistics two third of school going age children of India are enrolled in schools but the figures are deceptive as many don't attend schools regularly. At least half of all students from rural area drop out before completing school. The government has rolled out many plans to increase the percentage of elementary education.

The final step is achievement of the goal of education. The main components of this program are:

Reviewing of educational developments by the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE)

Involvement of local communities for school improvement programmes. Review of the implementation of the parameters of the policy every five years, Strengthening the base of pyramid of Indian population for proper development of

education system in India.

National Policy of Education (1992) laid down many objectives for the development of education system in India but it has not been successful in achieving all of them. It has specified that the examination system should discourage the memorizing but it is what is going on. The education in India seems to encourage rote learning instead of experimentation and questioning. There is some disparity in assessment as all the State Boards have different standards of evaluation. 

The reservation on the basis of caste and religion is also a negative point in Indian education. Corruption is visible in the allocation of seats of institutions of higher studies and student politics is another sore point. These are some of the issues, which need to be worked upon. 

Though there are disparities between the objectives and their implementation in education but still education system in India has come a long way and will continue to improve in the future. 

Some important facts about Indian education:

Ayurveda is the earliest school of medicine known to the world and 'charaka' is known as the father of Ayurveda. He developed this system some 2500 years back.

Takshila was the first university of world established in 700 B.C. Nalanda University, built in 4 AD, was considered to be the honor of ancient Indian

system of education as it was one of the best Universities of its time in the subcontinent. Indian language Sanskrit is considered to be the mother of many modern languages of

world. Place value system was developed in India in 100 B.C. India was the country, which invented number system. Aryabhatta, the Indian scientist, invented digit zero. Trigonometry, algebra and calculus studies were originated in India.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

42

SUMMARY OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE

Higher education in India is facing a chronic problem continuing as Higher education. Some institutions like IITs, IIMs, research institutions like IISc, central universities are funded by central government so they have fantastic infrastructure, good faculty, and money for research while state universities and institutions lack all these.  A balance should be established between the central and state governments to bring all the higher education institutions at the same level.

The success story of good market of different institutions depends upon the availability of the quality of education which is provided by the institute, which can influence the overall structure of education system.

Delivering good & quality education & providing excellent infrastructure & facilities at economic costs can contribute great to the students as well to the organization.

43

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

The road ahead for india is directly linked to creation of quality higher education

institutions in a big way to meet the challenge of the knowledge hub, which india is fast

becoming.

The government resources for higher education are simply not enough.

Government supervision of higher education is dismal, to say the least.

Recourse to quality private higher education, both university and non-university is

essential.

India needs to have a proactive demand based policy towards private higher

Education including foreign institutions/universities desirous of setting up campus in

india or entering into joint-ventures. India could offer tax concessions/fiscal incentives

for setting up campuses.

The issue of raising the fees upwards to meet the cost of education is critical if we are to

maintain and sustain the quality of our government and aided institutions as private

institutions are already using a higher fee structure.

In a competitive setting there is no reason why the fees should not meet a reasonable

proportion of the cost of education.

a figure of 20 per cent of recurring cost is considered reasonable in the international scale.

The need for financing of higher education for students, especially those coming from

low income households needs special attention.

Good infrastructure & services are an essential requirement of higher education.

CONCLUSIONIndian higher-education today suffers from three serious maladies: inadequate competition among the better institutions, inadequate experimentation, and inadequate measurement of outcomes.

consider inadequate competition between the institutes. The severe competition among striving, smart youngsters allows institutions themselves to live the good life.

If credible global institutions enter India, it will make the incumbent institutions' professional lives harder.

Expect India's 'best' institutions, therefore, to resist. Truth is, there are sufficiently few institutes in India that merit the appellation "excellent," and the heavy supply of applicants ensures that there's no urgency to improve these programs.

There is inadequate experimentation. The Indian education system reminds one of the hamster endlessly rotating its hamster wheel with no end in sight.

There is a certain mind-numbing uniformity to the path which the average upwardly aspiring family desires for its progeny. This is, to put it mildly, sad. All the ample research on education, not to mention common sense, suggests that the phrase "different strokes for different folks" is a better description of what India's youth need.

Institutions should specialize not just in classroom learning, but in vocational skills, in experiential learning, in experimental learning, and many other modes. While there are localized pockets of such experimenting in India, they are sufficiently scarce as to not to make much of a difference (yet).
