An overview to education system

1. EDUCATION TODAY

2. WHAT IS EDUCATION?
• Education in its general sense is a form of
learning in which the knowledge, skills and
habits of a group of people are transferred
from one generation to the next through
teaching, training or research.
• Education is “Preparing a person to face
everyday life”.

3. INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

4. EDUCATIONTODAY
• Today’s education system in india is challenging but
needs some more changes.
• The education system in india put more emphasis on
the theoretical knowledge than the practical.
• The quality of education must be improved rather
than quantity.

5. EDUCATION TODAY-KILLING CREATIVITY
• Present education system only
deals with the ‘Gyan’ between the
two covers of the book only.
• Knowing or unknowingly, other
extra curricular activities like
dance, sorts, arts, painting, music
have been buried under the
coffin-partially or totally.

6. CHALLENGES IN PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM
• Lack of will to learn in youth: because they are unable to adjust for long
periods in classroom, the ability of teachers to inspire students is
decreasing day by day. Because of this, people are becoming bookish
knowledge in present education system.
• Quality of teaching: The very recent graduates are appointed as teachers
which affect a lot, this is all done because the managements can reduce
their burdens of spending money for experienced ones.
• Reservations: There should be no difference between the forward caste
and the backward caste the students should be rated with the amount of
knowledge they have. There are reservations for govt. jobs also, if a
backward caste student just passes his graduation, it is more than
sufficient to get that govt. job.
• Infrastructure: The infrastructure provided today in any college is not
that sufficient as it should be. In govt. schools there are no proper
classrooms, efficient staff etc etc.

7. WHAT WE HAVE TO DO TO CHANGE TODAY’S
EDUCATION SYSTEM
• Focus on skill based education.
• Reward creativity, original thinking, research
and innovation.
• Implement massive technology infrastructure
for education.
• Get smarter people to teach.
• Make reservation irrelevant.
• Re-define the purpose of the education system.

8. SARVA SHIKSHA ABHIYAN
• Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is Government of India's flagship
programme for achievement of Universalization of Elementary
Education (UEE) in a time bound manner, as mandated by 86th
amendment to the Constitution of India making free and
compulsory Education to the Children of 6-14 years age group, a
Fundamental Right.
• SSA seeks to provide quality elementary education including life
skills. SSA has a special focus on girl's education and children
with special needs.
• The programme seeks to open new schools in those habitations
which do not have schooling facilities and strengthen existing
school infrastructure through provision of additional class rooms,
toilets, drinking water, maintenance grant and school
improvement grants.

9. RASHTRIYA UCHCHATAR SHIKSHA ABHIYAN
• Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) is a Centrally
Sponsored Scheme (CSS), launched in 2013 aims at providing
strategic funding to eligible state higher educational
institutions. The central funding (in the ratio of 65:35 for
general category States and 90:10 for special category states)
would be norm based and outcome dependent. The funding
would flow from the central ministry through the state
governments/union territories to the State Higher Education
Councils before reaching the identified institutions. The
funding to states would be made on the basis of critical
appraisal of State Higher Education Plans, which would
describe each state’s strategy to address issues of equity,
access and excellence in higher education.
