Gurukula
Gurukula have existed in the Vedic age. Upanishads mention
many gurukula, including that of Yajnavalkya, Varuni. Bhrigu Valli,
the famous discourse on Brahman, is mentioned to have taken
place in Guru Varuni's gurukula. Vedic school of thought
prescribes an initiation (Upanayana, a compulsory Sanskara or
activity for a Hindu living) to all individuals, including women,
before the age of 8 or latest by 12. From initiation until the age of
25 all individuals are prescribed to be students and to remain
unmarried.
The gurukula were supported by public donation. This was
followed by the many following Vedic thoughts making gurukula
one of the earliest forms of public school offices.
By the colonial era the gurukula system was declining in India.
The Shastriji Maharaj Dharamjivan dasji Swami is the pioneer of
the modern Vedic gurukula system. He initiated first
Swaminarayan Gurukul, Rajkot, Gujarat State, India in 1948.
Types of Teachers
•Acharya was a type of teacher who taught his pupil Vedas without charging
fee from the pupils.
•Upadhyaya was the one who adopted teaching as a profession to earn his
livelihood and taught only a portion of the Veda or Vedangas.
•Charakas or wandering scholars toured the country in quest of higher
knowledge. Thought not normally competent as teachers they were regarded
as possible source of knowledge by Satapatha Brahmana. Hiuen Tsang was
struck with the knowledge gained by some of the wandering teachers (called
Bhikkhus and Sadhus during his times) and who had accumulated a treasure
of knowledge by constant travel and who used to gladly impart it to others.
•Guru was the one who used to lead a gruhasta life and earn his livelihood
after imparting education to his disciples and maintain his family.
•Yaujanasatika were teachers famous for their profound scholarship that
students from distant places, as far as from a distance of hundreds of miles
would come to seek their guidance.
•Sikshaka was a teacher who gave instruction in arts like dancing.

CHANGE IN EDUCATION SYSTEM DUE
TO BRITISH IMPACT
MACAULAY
 1835 Dominance of English
language as a medium of
employment and education
 Establishment of teacher-
training schools for all levels of
instruction.
 led towards the nationalization
of many universities
 Many advantages but one
biggest loss :
Education lost its own esteem,
and Indian touch
 Strong central control over
education
 Guided by national goals,
aspirations as embodied in Indian
constitution
 National Policy on Education (NPE)
was adopted
 In 1949 a University Education
Commission was appointed under
the chairmanship of Dr. S.
Radhakrishnan to study the
problems of university education
and to recommend remedial
measures
INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
‘PRESENT SCENARIO &
CHARACTERISTICS’
Now-a-days it is very frequently observed that students sign up for
higher studies with less interest or take is casually. Moreover,
there are very few institutions in India who are giving quality
inputs so as to inculcate the learning skills amongst students.
Higher Education System in India compare to developing /
developed countries needs substantial improvement. The
percentage of students taking higher education is hardly about 13
% whereas the same is varying between 28 to 90 %, across the
world. The lowest % being 28 % and the same is as high as
90 % in developed countries.
At one end we claim that India would rank 3rd among all countries
by 2020 in education. If we observe overall ranking of relevant
institutions it’s seen that in the year 2000, out of 500 there were 2
Indian Universities / Institutes were featured in the list, and 1
institution from China.
Now almost after a decade in 2010 the tables have changed with
only 1 institution from India being featured and 32 institutions are
featured from China!!
Special emphasis must be given to communication and
presentation skills, especially for students coming from rural
background / remote locations and that for students studies in
vernacular languages.., so that they can perform well in the
corporate world, across the globe.
Institutions should also inculcate multitasking abilities amongst
students, foreign languages, advanced IT knowledge so that
they can perform better in the chosen field. Student exchange,
cultural exchange should be encouraged and various ways and
means should be found to enhance students interest level &
participation.
PRIVATE TUITION CLASSES
‘A CANCER IN THE BLOOD OF EDUCATION’
 Impact on mainstream
schooling(mainstream teachers may
not need to work hard)
 Impact on societies(rich-middle-
poor difference in education)
 Economical impact on families
 Psychological & physiological impact
on student
ONLY EXAM ORIENTED STUDY
‘THOUSANDS OF CHATURS OF INDIAN
EDUCATION’
 Bitter though the fact is, but it
has to be accepted that recent
Indian 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 sem)
checked in 5 min
 Should test logical and
analytical skills regarding
particular subject
EDUCATION SYSTEM:
KILLING CREATIVITY?
‘GIVE ME SOME SUNSHINE..’
 Present education system –only
deals with the ‘GYAN’ between
two covers of the book only.
 Knowingly or unknowingly ,
other extra curricular activities
like dance, sports, arts, music
have been buried under the
coffin –partially or totally.
CORRUPTION IN EDUCATION
SYSTEM:
‘GALI GALI CHOR HAI..’
 Report of UNESCO-25%-teacher
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 diff. institutes
 Quota system-lacks transparency
 Need to curb the bribery rackets &
corruption rings
CAREER CHOICE ON PARENTS/ PUBLIC/TEACHER ADVICE :
‘KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE..’
 Indian education system has a particular
characteristic that in it, the career of a student is
decided by a 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, &
self desire.
 This type of careers have more success rate &
satisfaction level
Parents serve as a major influence in their children’s career
development and career decision- making. Parents want their
children to find happiness and success in life and one factor which
influences happiness and success is career choice. Research
also indicates that when students feel supported and loved by
their parents, they have more confidence in their own ability to
research careers and to choose a career that would be interesting
and exciting. This is important because studies show that
adolescents who feel competent regarding career decision-
making, tend to make more satisfying career choices later in life.
Parents influence the level of education or training that their
children achieve; the knowledge they have about work and
different occupations; the beliefs and attitudes they have to
working; and the motivation they have to succeed. Most of this is
learned unconsciously – children and teenagers absorb their
parents attitudes and expectations of them as they grow up.
OVER EXPLOSION OF PRIVATE COLLEGES
‘VACANT SEATS, LOWER LEVEL OF EDUCATION’
Over 40% engineering and more than half of
management seats vacant in Maharashtra
TNN | Jul 19, 2014, 12.07AM IST
MUMBAI: Over 57,000 of the 1.31 lakh engineering seats—over
43%—available in the state for the centralized admission process
(CAP) are vacant after the first round of admissions. The situation
is similar in B-schools. Over 53% of the 21,716 MBA/MMS seats
available under CAP are also vacant.
According to an official of the Directorate of Technical Education
(DTE), most of the vacancies are for courses that are not popular
and in colleges located in remote areas.
"There are more seats than applicants. Moreover, the demand for
these courses has been falling over the years," said the official.
"Also, this year, students need to score minimum 50% in PCM to
be eligible for engineering admissions. In the past, the eligibility
criteria had been relaxed by 5%."
‘OLD IS NOT GOLD..’
Growing mismatch between the needs &
education received
Poor quality, outdated undergraduate education
– created a shortage of trained personal
This has driven in company's training cost high
Needed change in curriculum but we can’t
accept a sudden change-basics will remain same
& utmost necessary
COSTLY HIGHER EDUCATION
COSTLY HIGHER EDUCATION :
‘MAHENGAI DHYAAN KHA JATI HAI..’
 Though present of higher
education on India has
increased in a considerable
amount , but with it the
cost of higher education has
also increased
 Increased price of
textbooks, stationary and
school fees has put a large
amount of economic
burden on parents & it has
affected lower and middle
class a lot.
LACK OF INTERACTIVE CLASS –BORING
ATMOSPHERE
‘NAA BOLE TUM , NA MAINE KUCHH KAHA..’
 Indian education classes
have an inevitable property
of one sided ‘baby feeding’
style of teaching instead of
true interactive classes
 Mostly , Neither students
are used to ask the question
or clarify the doubts
frequently nor the teachers
care about it.
MOTHER TONGUE OR ENGLISH?
‘MEDIUM MYSTERY..’
 Educationalist agree that it is best to teach in mother tongue-because it is
difficult to grasp contains in language other than it, but total dependence on
mother tongue can cause many problem in this global era.
 English-considered as a passport to social mobility-becoming preferred by
higher-upper middle level class, but it is difficult to teach in lower-urban
areas.
INCREASING RATE OF
SUICIDE
‘I QUIT..’
Suicide is considered a possible complication of
depressive illness in combination with other risk factors
because suicidal thoughts and behavior can be symptoms
of moderate to severe depression. These symptoms
typically respond to proper treatment, and usually can be
avoided with early intervention for depressive illness. Any
concerns about suicidal risk should always be taken
seriously and evaluated by a qualified professional
immediately.
 Suicide rate has increased from 7.9-10.3% -in which major part is
student suicide
 Reason of suicide :
 Ignorance & misperception by parents & public
 Academic pressure from parents for higher grades
 These increase No. are very disturbing and demand concrete solution
 Though many corresponds programs have started –needed to widen
the area & increase its efficiency.
100% LITERACY RATE
‘MISSION IMPOSSIBLE…’
˃ Response to the demand regarding basic
education
˃ Wide convergent frame work for
implementation of elementary education
˃ Adult education : an important aspect
˃ Loopholes:
˃ Teachers-need to take their jobs seriously,
proper qualifications required
˃ Efficiency-needed to be increased
RURAL WOMEN EDUCATION :
‘MUNNA & MUNNI AT SAME LEVEL..’
“If you educate a man, you
educate an individual, but if
you educate a woman, you
educate a whole family.
women empowered means
mother India empowered.”
-Jawaharlal Nehru
The 2001 IFAD Rural Poverty Report recognizes the gap
between male and female educational opportunities. The
report observes that female schooling does more at the
margin for income, poverty reduction and child health
and nutrition than does extra male schooling.
Nevertheless, rural women are often marginalized from
both formal and non-formal education opportunities.
 Educated woman-play a significant
role overall development & progress
of country.
 Government of India-recently
launched ‘Saakshar bharat mission ‘
for female literacy and has spread
awareness in most remote and rural
parts.
UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENT
OF PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM
 Learning is easy-requires no effort
 Like instant food, there is an instant knowledge, instant skill ,instant
experience
 Prosperity requires no hard work
 This present education system is totally absurd-then why to pay
attention to study??

EDUCATION IN INDIA COMPARED TO
FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Indian Education System Foreign Education System
COMPARISON
 INDIAN Government provide a lots of facilities for all the students
whether rich or poor family but some improvement is most required
because facilities are not provided by all students.
 INDIAN Education system is peculiar. Because in foreign countries
people concentrate on one subject, so they know only the things
which they focus but we study everything.
 INDIA is lagging in practical knowledge. If we improve practical
knowledge India will became one of the best country in the world.
 INDIAN children are making their mind hard disk of computer. They
cram books and write on the answer book. This is the education
system of INDIA.
 INDIAN students wants to get good percentage instead of getting
extra knowledge. So for improving GK. Must be a compulsory subject.
10 FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS
WITH EDUCATION SYSTEM IN
INDIA» Education System promotes RAT RACE.
» Education does not builds PERSONA of
Child
» No Critical Analysis, only FOLLOWING the
Establishment
» Too much PAROCHIALISM rather Global
outlook
» Teachers themselves are NOT Trained and
Efficient
» Medium of Language of OUR Studies
» Education given is Irrelevant to JOB-
MARKET
» Missing INNOVATION and CREATIVITY
because only Aping West
» Students happy in Getting HIGHLY PAID
SLARY JOB but lacks ambition to become
ENTERPRENUER
» Gross FAILURE of our Education System to
end SOCIAL DISPARITY
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND
TRAINING (NCERT)
 It is the apex body for school
education in India. The NCERT
provides support and technical
assistance to a number of
schools in India and oversees
many aspects or enforcement
of education policies.
NCERT has comprehensive extension programme in which
departments of the National Institute of Education (NIE),
Regional Institute of Education (RIE), Central Institute of
Vocational Education (CIVE) and offices of the Field Advisers
in the states are engaged in activities. Several programmes
are organized in rural and backward areas to reach out to
functionaries in these areas.
It acts as the Secretariat of the National Development Group
(NDG) for Educational Innovations. The NCERT has been
offering training facilities, usually through attachment
programmes and participation in workshops, to education
workers of other countries. The NCERT publishes textbooks
for school subjects from Classes I to XII. NCERT publishes
books & provides Sample Question Papers. that are used in
government and private schools across India that follow the
CBSE curriculum.
CONTINUOUS AND
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION
 This scheme of CCE for
classes IX and X is to be
followed in all schools
affiliated with the board
(secondary and senior
secondary) for academic
session 2011-2013.
 Under CCE, a candidate
has to undergo
assessments in Scholastic
as well as Co-Scholastic
Areas.
SALIENT FEATURES OF THE
CCE
 Each academic year has been divided into 2 terms.
 All the students shall be required to undergo various
school based assessments in Co-Scholastic Areas.
 Syllabus is also divided in 2 part.
 Grades where given by board after calculating IX and X
Assessments of all Scholastic as well as Co-Scholastic
Areas.
 At the end of X, all candidates shall be issued the same
‘Grade Sheet Cum Certificate of Performance’ prepared,
printed and signed by the board.
CCE helps in reducing stress of students by-
o Identifying learning progress of students at regular
time intervals on small portion of content.
o Employing a variety of remedial measures of
teaching based on learning needs and potential of
different students.
o Desisting from using negative comments on the
learner’s performance.
o Involving learners actively in the learning process.

DRAW BACKS OF PRESENT
EDUCATION SYSTEM
 Present education system focuses more on scores rather
than knowledge .
 Its having 90% theoretical subjects. Even remaining 10%
practical subjects are of limited experiments and of
expected output.
 There is no scope for students to do experiments on
their own.
 Some colleges are not conducting practical. Instead, they
are giving full marks and allotting that time to mug up
theoretical subjects.
 In the end, students are coming out of schools and
colleges only having bookish knowledge.
 There is s much meaningless pressure on students
because of too much competitive spirit in between
private institutions .
 Many schools are not concentrating on extra curricula
activities.
 Some teacher are giving marks based on the no. of
people rather than the content.
 There are some cases that student are giving up their
lives as they are unable to cope up with too much
pressure.
SOLUTIONS
 Teachers must say the purpose of education to the
children of school level.
 Teacher must encourage the children to understand the
concept and to write it in their own words in exam.
 Every theoretical subject must have practical if possible.
 Communication skills and reasoning must be a subject
from school level.
 There must be seminars and project from schooling to
make student understand the subjects rather than
mugging up.
 Personality development classes and extra curricular
activities must be compulsory .
 Jobs should be provided
based on knowledge rather
than percentages.
 In practical examinations
marks should be given for the
process rather than output.
 The method of teaching and
lessons in subjects must be
modified. They must be in a
way to understand real world.
 Career guidance must be
there in schooling.
Money borrowed to finance education or school
related expenses. Payments are often deferred while
in school and for a six-month grace period after
graduation. Sallie Mae is the largest source of
education loans and handles the two major types, the
Stafford loan and the Perkins loan. One of the major
benefits of these types of loans is that they come with
low interest rates and do not require collateral or a
credit check.
CONCLUSION
 Government must concentrate on modifying the
education system to give wonderful life for students.
 There is a role of educational institutional too to improve
the method of teaching.
 A good education system leads to a good society.
Education is Simply the Soul of a Society
as it Passes from One Generation
to Another…

    INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM ‘PRESENTSCENARIO & CHARACTERISTICS’
  • 16.
    Now-a-days it isvery frequently observed that students sign up for higher studies with less interest or take is casually. Moreover, there are very few institutions in India who are giving quality inputs so as to inculcate the learning skills amongst students. Higher Education System in India compare to developing / developed countries needs substantial improvement. The percentage of students taking higher education is hardly about 13 % whereas the same is varying between 28 to 90 %, across the world. The lowest % being 28 % and the same is as high as 90 % in developed countries. At one end we claim that India would rank 3rd among all countries by 2020 in education. If we observe overall ranking of relevant institutions it’s seen that in the year 2000, out of 500 there were 2 Indian Universities / Institutes were featured in the list, and 1 institution from China. Now almost after a decade in 2010 the tables have changed with only 1 institution from India being featured and 32 institutions are featured from China!!

    Special emphasis mustbe given to communication and presentation skills, especially for students coming from rural background / remote locations and that for students studies in vernacular languages.., so that they can perform well in the corporate world, across the globe. Institutions should also inculcate multitasking abilities amongst students, foreign languages, advanced IT knowledge so that they can perform better in the chosen field. Student exchange, cultural exchange should be encouraged and various ways and means should be found to enhance students interest level & participation.

    CAREER CHOICE ONPARENTS/ PUBLIC/TEACHER ADVICE : ‘KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE..’  Indian education system has a particular characteristic that in it, the career of a student is decided by a 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, & self desire.  This type of careers have more success rate & satisfaction level
  • 25.
    Parents serve asa major influence in their children’s career development and career decision- making. Parents want their children to find happiness and success in life and one factor which influences happiness and success is career choice. Research also indicates that when students feel supported and loved by their parents, they have more confidence in their own ability to research careers and to choose a career that would be interesting and exciting. This is important because studies show that adolescents who feel competent regarding career decision- making, tend to make more satisfying career choices later in life. Parents influence the level of education or training that their children achieve; the knowledge they have about work and different occupations; the beliefs and attitudes they have to working; and the motivation they have to succeed. Most of this is learned unconsciously – children and teenagers absorb their parents attitudes and expectations of them as they grow up.

    COMPARISON  INDIAN Governmentprovide a lots of facilities for all the students whether rich or poor family but some improvement is most required because facilities are not provided by all students.  INDIAN Education system is peculiar. Because in foreign countries people concentrate on one subject, so they know only the things which they focus but we study everything.  INDIA is lagging in practical knowledge. If we improve practical knowledge India will became one of the best country in the world.  INDIAN children are making their mind hard disk of computer. They cram books and write on the answer book.

    DRAW BACKS OFPRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM
  • 82.
     Present educationsystem focuses more on scores rather than knowledge .  Its having 90% theoretical subjects. Even remaining 10% practical subjects are of limited experiments and of expected output.  There is no scope for students to do experiments on their own.  Some colleges are not conducting practical. Instead, they are giving full marks and allotting that time to mug up theoretical subjects.  In the end, students are coming out of schools and colleges only having bookish knowledge.
  • 83.
     There iss much meaningless pressure on students because of too much competitive spirit in between private institutions .  Many schools are not concentrating on extra curricula activities.  Some teacher are giving marks based on the no. of people rather than the content.  There are some cases that student are giving up their lives as they are unable to cope up with too much pressure.
  • 85.
    SOLUTIONS  Teachers mustsay the purpose of education to the children of school level.  Teacher must encourage the children to understand the concept and to write it in their own words in exam.  Every theoretical subject must have practical if possible.  Communication skills and reasoning must be a subject from school level.  There must be seminars and project from schooling to make student understand the subjects rather than mugging up.  Personality development classes and extra curricular activities must be compulsory .
  • 86.
     Jobs shouldbe provided based on knowledge rather than percentages.  In practical examinations marks should be given for the process rather than output.  The method of teaching and lessons in subjects must be modified. They must be in a way to understand real world.  Career guidance must be there in schooling.
