general sense is a form
of learning in which
the knowledge, skills
and habits of a group

5. THE GURUKUL SYSTEM
GURUKUL WAS A TYPE OF SCHOOL IN
INDIA, RESIDENTIAL IN NATURE, WITH
PUPILS LIVING IN PROXIMITY TO THE
GURU.
IN A GURUKUL, STUDENTS RESIDED
TOGETHER AS EQUALS,
IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR SOCIAL
STANDING, LEARNT FROM THE GURU
AND HELPED THE GURU IN HIS DAY-
TO-DAY LIFE.
AT THE END OF HIS STUDIES, THE
PUPIL OFFERED DAKSHINA (FEES) TO
THE GURU.

6. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
India, with more than 1.4 million schools and more than 230 million
enrolments, is home to one of the largest and complex school education
systems in the world along with China.
India has made phenomenal progress since independence in the field of education.
Following the Millennium Development framework, by the measure of the Net
Enrolment Ratio (NER), India had crossed the cut-off target of 95 percent regarded as
the marker value for achieving 2015 target of universal primary education for all
children aged 6-10 years in 2007-08.
The country’s mean years of schooling at 5-12 years is well below the other emerging
market economies such as China (8.17 years) and Brazil (7.54 years) and significantly
below the average for all developing countries (7.09 years).

18. CONCLUSION
Today’s education
system in India is very
challenging.
It needs lots of
changes.
The education system
in India puts more
emphasis on the
theoretical knowledge
than the practical.
The quality of the
education must be
improved rather than
the quantity.

19. SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE INDIAN EDUCATION
SYSTEM

20. ONLY EXAM ORIENTED STUDY :
“ THOUSANDS OF CHATURS OF INDIAN EDUCATION”
 Bitter though the fact is, but it has to be accepted that recent
education system is only exam oriented, we all have to
‘memorize’ the facts and ‘vomit’ it in the answer sheets.
 Less practical approach
 Hard work of 1 year (or 1 semester) checked in 5 minutes
 Should test logical and analytical skills regarding particular
subjects
“Give a man a fish and you feed him one day, teach him
how to catch fishes and you feed him for a lifetime"

21. EDUCATION SYSTEM-KILLING CREATIVITY ? :
“GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE..”
 Present education system – only deals with the
‘GYAN’ between two covers of book only.
 Knowingly or unknowingly, other extra curricular
activities like dancing, sports, arts, music have
been buried under the coffin – partly or totally.

22. CORRUPTION IN EDUCATION SYSTEM :
“GALI GALI CHOR HAI..”
 Reports of UNESCO – 25% - teachers absenteeism – second in
the world
 Drain on resources – 22.5% waste of education fund
 Politics for teacher appointment, transfer
 Absent of well established criteria
 Cheating in examination, examination paper leak scam
 Money on the name of entrance test by different institutes
 Quota system lacks transparency
 Need to curb the bribery rackets and corruption rings

23. CAREER CHOICE ON
PARENTS/PUBLIC/TEACHER ADVICE :
“KUCH TO LOG KAHENGE …..”
 Indian education system has a particular characteristic
that in it, the career of a student is decided by
parents/public/teacher’s suggestion
 Their suggestion should be taken into consideration
while thinking, but the final decision should be our
SELF DECISION
 Career choice should be based on interest, hobby and
self desire
 This type of careers have more success rate and
satisfaction level

24. STRESS,DEPRESSION & INCREASING RATE OF
SUICIDE :
“ I QUIT …..”
 Suicide rate has increased from 7.9–10.3% in which major part is
student suicide
 Reason of suicide :
1. Ignorance & misperception by parents and public
2. Academic pressure from parents for higher grades
 These increase numbers are very disturbing and demand concrete
solution
 Though many corresponds programmes have started – needed to
widen the area and increase its efficiency

25. CHANGE IS NEEDED, BE THE CHANGE :
PAST REQIUREMENTS
o Knowledge
o Exam oriented study
o Product-centric
o Graduate
o Passive participation
o Just-in-case
o Static content
o Mandated
FUTURE REQUIREMENTS
o Knowledge with skills
o Concept oriented study
o Learner-centric
o Life long learning
o Active participation
o Just-in-time
o Customized content
o Self directed

26. Make the curriculum Dynamic not Dogmatic
 The curriculum or syllabus is
outdated in most the cases for
students in higher education.
 The spirits of the curriculum
should be projects driven not
exams driven.
 It should be innovation driven and
it should evolve not stay
stagnated.

27. Industry Interaction a Placement Obligation
 One of the predominant pillars in growth
of education is the level of interaction
between students and industry
 Large amount of human capital is more
beneficial for the company rather than
spending meager amount of money on
the companies placements.

28. ABOLISH RESERVATION SYSTEM
 Give a chance to the deserved
rather than reserved.
 If reservation policy continues it
will lead to the “murder of merit”.
 The reservation system is affecting
education system.
 It was meant to end, not to
increase with time.

29. SOME MORE SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE
THE INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
 FOCUS ON RURAL EDUCATION
 FREE BASIC COMPUTER SKILL
CLASSES
 TEACHERS TRAINING
 SUBSIDIES AND GRANTS FOR
PROFESSIONAL COURSES
 SMART CLASSES
 E-LIBRARIES
 EDUCATE PARENTS
