3. INTRODUCTION
• In today’s world, studies are the biggest competition in the
world.
• Education is not what it is supposed to be.
• Education is “Preparing a person to face everyday life”.
• Education today… doesn’t prepare one for the normal
problems faced by a person in life.
• Our education system has to change fully, and only teach
what is necessary.
• Today’s education system in India is challenging but needs
some changes.

4. IS IT WORTH
• Today’s education produces only money making machines.
• We are imparting theoretical knowledge based education.
• “Everyone in India must get equal opportunity in
everything”.
• I think life without education is a waste.
• It is worthless, In today’s world.
• We have to make the children more aware on
socialness.

5. REINVENTING THE SAME WHEEL
• Education must make the student THINK.
• The education system in India puts more
emphasis on the theoretical knowledge than
the practical.
• But at the same time, Should not concentrate only on the
things that are going to be useful in life later on.
• The system is there just to keep students occupied, nowadays
we rarely learn new skills.
• Today’s education system is in the hands of the
government.

6. CONT….
• Today’s education system in INDIA is just like a bird without a
wing or a man without a brain.
• The education system provides qualifications but not the
experiences.
• Education in INDIA golden feeds the students, thus in their
later life they are unable to produce what is needed by our
country.
• In search of big schools but never checking for teacher who
gives education to student.

7. COMMERCIAL EDUCATION
• The education system of INDIA is academic oriented and
marks dependent.
• Foreign countries respect and value the true and distinctive
talent of the individual.
• Taking bribes and offering seats has become so common in
this world.
• For more money, private institutions offer a global exposure.
• The quality of teachers and the quality education found I
various universities differs drastically.

8. CONT…
• One of UNESCO’s Institution says that “25% teacher
absenteeism in India is among the highest in the world”
• Politics in teacher appointments and transfers is a major
reason.
• Teachers also believe highly in private tutoring a practice
identified by UNESCO as unethical.
• It does not complement learning at school and leads to
corruption the report said.
• Teachers mismanagement in institutions were other gray
areas identified in Indian education system.

9. PURPOSE OF EDUCATION
• FIRST YEAR
‘A’ dreams of being an economist.
‘B’ wants to take up a career in organic chemistry.
‘C’ wants to attend linguistic classes under Noam Chomsky.
• FINAL YEAR
‘A’ writes MBA exam.
‘B’ writes MBA exam.
‘C’ writes MBA exam.

10. CONT…
WHY???
• Because they have been Disillusioned by the education they
receive in college.
• They are sick of subjects that are strictly confined to
classroom.
• They know that it will be impossible to make a living with their
skills and knowledge.
• Our colleges devote their entire time and resources teaching
syllabus, but never concentrate on departing skills.

11. INDIVIDUALITY
• Otherwise, the life of one will not be interesting but rather
boring, monotonous, and frustrating.
• This is mainly due to the parental interference in the
education of the children.
• Parental guidance is necessary but it should not interfere in
the creativity or individuality of the students.
• In spite of the obsolete type of education system, some are
achieving wonderful things in Sports, Music, Dance, Painting,
Sciences and Technology.

12. STEPS BY GOVERNMENT
• Government should completely absorb the cost of providing
free education up to 12th standard.
• Not only school fees, but also free books, clothing and even
place if necessary.
• Those with money can always opt for their favorite private
school.
• Like in USA, the government can opt for building schools and
make them available for private companies on long-term
lease.
• Concept of “education credit”

13. CONCLUSION
• Children in the present generation are more focused towards
their career.
• E-education is becoming popular in the present scenario.
• It’s time for India to think of the current educational setup
demand and change.
• Concrete steps are taken to reformulate our methodology of
imparting education.
• Improper education system could have serious consequences
in the future.
