After passing 12th board exams, one thing that clogs every mind is getting into good college for higher education. But unfortunately everybody who wish to study further, do not end up getting into good college. There was a time when scoring 90% was considered a mark of brilliance but as of now scoring 90% has become so common that even students with 90+ marks find it difficult to make up to college. This year around 2,50,000 applied in University of Delhi alone for 50,000 seats. That means a clear big NO to around 2 lakh students. The worst part being these students had scored more than 85% marks. Movie “3 IDIOTS” clearly talked about the mad rat race in education. It gave a clear and distinct picture of failing education system of India.
Since independence many schools, educational institutions and universities have been established but the question which arises here is-” Is the number big enough to match ever increasing population of India? ” Moreover the universities have limited seats that demands for excellence. So if you fall short of even 1 mark you are nowhere in the competition. The problems start at the grass root level. There are several number of school which exists only for name sake. Several government schools are being criticized for not providing even the minimal education.
The situation becomes still miserable when passing out of a good and reputed college does not guarantee you good job opportunity. Every year thousands of students graduate from different colleges. But everyone of them cannot be absorbed into job on account of limited employment avenues. This has lead to confusion and frustration in the young generation. The number of suicides has tremendously increased all across the country.
Lack of vocational courses, absence of creative thinking, innovation and research has limited the scope of education in India. Individual skills and talents lie undiscovered. Education does not make people self independent. Insufficient vocational courses has resulted into less number of entrepreneurs in the country.
Its time to resolve educational conflicts in the country- a country which is known for giving best engineers and doctors to the world, a country which is known for its IT sector and many more. Establishment of few more schools and universities and amendment of already established ones can definitely solve the problem to a great extent. If the changes are not taken right now, India is on the verge of loosing its most valuable resource- HUMAN RESOURCE.
