Progress of the Indian Education sector after Independence
“The beautiful thing about Education is that no one can take it away from you”
Education is a very important factor in the economic development of any
country. Education plays an important role in the development of an individual
and in making him a knowledgeable person. Indian education is one of the largest
and most complex education systems in the world. India since the early days of
independence has always focused on improving the literacy rate of our country.
From a literary rate of 18% in 1951, India has moved phenomenally up to 77%
as of 2020. Compared to the tragic situation of 1947, when the country had
merely 400 schools, and 19 universities, with a little over 5,000 students, we have
come a long way. Currently, India boasts 1.5 million plus schools, 751
universities, and 35 thousand plus colleges.
2. Progress of the Indian Education Sector:
Today, India has managed to bring its education system to par with global
standards. India made significant progress in the sector of education in the 70
years since independence. In the last 70 years, our Indian education sector has
grown many folds, with the help of the government, private and Ngo
partnerships.
In 1950, the government, the central advisory board of Physical Education and
Recron was set up to promote Physical education in schools and also train
teachers.
The Midway scheme was also introduced by the government to increase the
number of students attending school and to provide food to the students. In 1968,
the National Education policy was also formulated by the government of India to
promote and regulate education in India and then in 1986, this national
Education policy was revised by prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and the third time,
it was Promulgated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji in 2020.
Also, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), for children from 6 to 14 years old was
launched in 2000 to impart Compulsory elementary education to all...
In 1951 India was having less than 2.4 lakh Primary schools whereas in 2018,
India has more than 15 lakh schools. When it comes to universities, From 27
universities in 1951, Currently India has 829 Universities and the number is
growing fast.
3. Progress in the Women’s Education Sector
Nowadays, women are participating in many important roles in all departments.
Today we can say that there are no departments without women. But in our past
generations, women were treated very badly. In 1951, the percentage of literate
women in the country was just 9% but today India's Countrywide female literacy
rate is 70.3%.
This is because after independence, the educational Rights of women were
promoted and they were made aware of the value of education.
The government also provided several benefits to women such as scholarships,
loan facilities, hostel facilities, etc, who wished to go out to pursue higher
education. Today by getting such benefits a large number of women are also able
to pursue higher education. Also, separate schools, colleges, and Universities have
been established for women.
The government also has taken numerous strategies to improve Girls' education
in India like Beti bachao, Beti Padho, free education schemes, etc.
4. Indian Education sector in the 21st century ‘
Today we are running into the 21st century where Technology knows no bounds.
The Education sector in India has seen rapid changes in the last decade. There
has been a Dramatic shift in the education ecosystem as a whole and now online
education and blended classes have become a norm at all levels of education.
Today the education sector involves various advanced techniques like online
courses, online exams, digital textbooks, animation, etc. so that students can get a
more effective education.
One of the significant changes that took place in the last decade is the free
availability of content. Today Initiatives like E- Pathshala, Online NCERT books,
and educational tv channels have been started to provide content to all for free.
So today digital learning is changing the face of the Indian education sector.
In conclusion, I want to say that the progress of the Indian education sector has
evolved considerably since we achieved our independence. The intervention of
technology has made our education sector easier and much more insightful than
it ever was.
