We need a revolution in the education system in India?

Education builds the man so it builds the nation. Today we claim to be the biggest human resources supplier for the world, but are we concerned what quality of human capital we are building and for whose needs? We supply bureaucrats to the government, software engineers to the IT companies around the world, highly paid managers to the multinationals, we supply engineers and science graduates as researchers to the foreign universities. What capital are we building for ourselves?

India aspires to be powerful, it wants to play a role in the international community, for that to happen, its economy has to grow multifold and for that to happen, it requires a huge force of entrepreneurs who could transform it into a nation which produces, from the one which only consumes. India needs a huge force of innovators who could make it self reliant in all kinds of sciences and technologies. India needs artists who could make its culture the most popular in the world. A culture which is not only saleable itself but also helps in selling India’s products across the world. In a nutshell, India needs Henry Fords, Bill Gateses, Thomas Alva Edisons and Michael Jacksons born and educated in India.

One may say we had few. Yes, we had. M. S. Swaminathan who made India self reliant in food grains, Dhiru Bhai Ambani who proved a common man can become a billionaire, Dr. Varghese Kurien who is the father of Amul milk movement, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam who dared to build missiles for India, Pundit Ravishankar who is the ambassador of the Indian music to the world. Such people though in small numbers, were always there. But they are not the products of this education system. This system did not teach them how to become innovators or entrepreneurs or artists. Had it done so, they would have been millions in numbers. These people were inspired themselves. To some of them, their education may have given the technical know-how (though it is hardly conceivable), but not the dream or the inspiration needed. It is the education which should inspire one to become something one really wants to. Education should make you free, should make you experiment and it should make you ask questions. Ultimately, it should make you realize what you are.

Youngsters in India, do not have the freedom of selecting there career, it is said. They are forced to become engineers, doctors, MBA’s and IAS officers, it is said. Yes, agree. But that is not the problem. The problem is, youngsters in India do not have the vision to think beyond. Neither their parents, nor their grandparents had that vision. This is where the root of the problem is. Generations have gone through a system which sucks. Now the beauty is even the law-makers and educators of today’s India are products of that age old system. That is why no less than a revolution is needed in the education system in India.

What do we expect from such a revolution?

A revolution means big changes. We expect the revolution in education to bring lots of changes. These changes will result into:

1. Best talents of the country working in the education sector.


Today, education is not the career of choice, but it is the career of compromise. If you are a teacher, people sympathize, they curse the prevalent unemployment in the country. Education is one of the highest profit making ‘industries’ in the service sector, but its workers are the least paid compared to those working in somewhat glamorous sectors like the IT industry. This has to change.

2. A world class infrastructure.

The experience of shopping at malls is better than the old dirty bazaars. The experience of traveling in a metro train is much better than suffering in the city buses. The experience of driving on four or six lane highways is much better the same way. The same way, infrastructure has a meaning in education. World class universities and schools with world class libraries, laboratories and classrooms, in a world class building make a world class infrastructure for education.

3. Greater investments into education, public as well as private.

We need world class infrastructure and best talents in all schools and universities of India. These resources should not remain limited to a handful of IIT’s or IIM’s. Each village should have a school with all resources and facilities. Each university should have whatever it needs for a better education. This would require huge money and hence, huge investments.

4. Education which encourages innovation and creativity.

When farmers in the villages of Punjab make a vehicle from the diesel engine and name it Maruta (A male version of Maruti), that is innovation. When villagers of the Rajasthan and Gujarat transform the Bike ‘Enfield Bullet’ into a local auto-rickshaw, that is creativity. How many automobile engineering students could do likewise? The question is, how many?

5. Education which encourages entrepreneurship.

In a Hindi movie ‘Nayak’, the father of the actress refuses to permit for her marriage with the actor because he is not a government servant. At last, he permits, but then the Actor had become the chief minister of the state. This mindset of the society, particularly of the middle class, has to be changed. You are not a respectful person if after education you start a business, as that is seen as a failure in getting a job. It is the task of the education system to change this mindset. It also has to inspire the youth for the necessary courage and vision for entrepreneurship.

6. An education which makes a child sad when the last bell is rung at the end of the day in the school.

    Nice views. But the ’second’ question is who will bell the cat :)

    First question is how can the revolution be brought. Most people will agree to the end result of the revolution, as written by you. But nobody known what to do in order to bring the revolution. Please put more light on it ..

    we all agree with your views, but one thing we don’t seem to realise is how are we going to cough up the money required to make sweeping changes in teh education sector. we are now seeing a shift towards niche careers, at least in the metros. people are exploring new avenues. it is definitely a good sign. awareness about various new and upcoming career options among students and parents is very important to ensure that students are not forced to take up careers they do not have an aptitude in.

  4. Comment by HItendra on August 11, 2006 1:33 pm

    New career choices and an openness towards them in the parents is a wellcome sign.

    But this is only among a minor section of society. Again, the motive behind these careers is a merely a job. The technical educaional institute still can offer better results to the society if they understand that their job is education and research and not examinaion and distribution of degreees.

    @mukesh
    @absconding soul
    there seems to be an underlying assumption in the replies that the end result of the revolution is an obvious one.
    i think its worth noting that revolution in education is a norm rather than exception or novelty.
    every new political party in power starts with introducing a revolution in subject of history .recently there was a news about textbooks describing bhagat singh , chandrashekhar aazad etc. as Terrorists. (is it true , false or ambiguous can be personal opinion. but that it is a revolutionary definition,180 degree revolution, is pretty obvious).
    the 180 degree revolutions are general in education , whether india or any other country. in america , clearly one of the most scientific society , the darwin theory of evolution has been replaced from the textbooks with the theory of bible that god created everybody .
    one may think that they atleast have plenty of infrastructure.and they are producing revolutions too. but really is this what one has in mind while talking about the change in education.
    but the thing is whatever ‘one’ has in mind can’t be same for every one. as a democracy , we will be asking for ,not a revolution , but a common minimum program to be implied.
    agenda of its being job, jobs.. and so on.
    so the logical conclusion seems to be that the only way of bringing about a complete and wholesome revolution is by not trying any such thing.

    Respected sir,

    I was really unknown to such wonderful minds and ideas about education.
    It was nice reading and i too would like to write my views and express it,but before can you post some of your thoughts on a topic relevant to this.the topic is “REVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION”. I think your view regarding this topic can give me a more stable platform to pen my thoughts about education system.
    Sincerely,

    ASKhare.

  8. Comment by lookcarefully on August 29, 2006 8:09 pm

    Guys, you are missing a few big points:

    look at the Maharashtra Engg/Med admissions : they are an organised loot of students’ money with 50% seats beign allotted to management quota. The “donation” to get those seats is in the range of 3-12 lacs for Engg and 5-32 lacs for Med.

    At least 25% of that goes to ministers and politicians.

    Also, the syllabus is deliberately kept poor, vague and outdated. That is chiefly because the same profs who teach in colleges run classes/tuitions and if they are going to have to learn the latest technology, they wont be able to make that much money ’cause they dont know all the new stuff.

    Also, they dont teach in college coz if they do, students wont come for their classes.

    Also, ministers who otherwise jump to disinvest and gobble up a hefty commission from MNCs arent in a mood to outsource education to foreign univs coz *they* run colleges here which are hopelessly substandard and if they allow outside colleges to setup branches, their colleges will shut down in *months*.

    Finally, although industry can invest, industry also knows the perils of messing around with the ministry. And look at it straight, the more the unemployment the better it is for companies - they need to pay far less since people will do anything for a basic income.

    So, stop thinking about revolution and start thinking about corruption.

    So, “desh gaya bhaad mein - apni dekh aur maja kar”

    god help this country!

    I couldn’t agree with you more. I have had the opportunity to study in an alternative education school apart from ‘doing time’ in regular schools and college. What i noticed the most in conventioal education is that there is too much emphasis on facts and figures and not actually learning. What this achieves is to turn education into a chore and rather than stimulating the student, repels them from any subsequent attempts to learn.
    Do i believe the system should change? Yes. Do i believe such a change can be achieved? Hell Yeah. But such a change would not be easy and would actually require that people acknowledge that there is a problem, something that im not sure too many people are aware of.
    Anyway good job on the post.

    If you study to remember, you will forget, but, If you study to understand, you will remember — Anonymous

    The Situation : piles of books, parental pressure, peer pressure.
    Task : Complete 25 chapters per subject by the end of the year for the final examinations.
    Memorize! Memorize! That’s the key word.

    Believe it or not, the Indian educational system tests your memory-skills rather than the ‘application of concepts’ in real-life situation. It concentrates too much on the theroetical aspects of topics, rather than focussing on the practical knowledge. All a student needs to do to top his class is:
    1- Read and re-read
    2- Memorize the text (which gets too much for the brain)
    3- Vomit it all out on the day of the examination

    And if you happen to have great mugging-skills, BINGO! You are in the top 5 list of the most “intelligent” students of the class. Is that right ?? That is what has been happening in India since decades, but is it serving the purpose? That is the question.

    The purpose of education is to develop the young minds into beautiful brains. But is that purpose being achieved by judging the intellectual capability of students by taking yearly examinations? Do we need periodic-assessment or the grading system in India?

  11. Comment by hitendra on September 17, 2006 9:31 am

    @ Shah Dhaval,
    Sure, grading sysytem is neede desperately. They talk about it sometimes but dont implement it nationwide. Then there are proponents of the currents system defending the existing percentage marks system stongly. Then there are parents who want to throw there children into fire.

    And why stress on periodic education at all?
    Competitive exams like GRE and GMAT should bethere to take care of selection issues. Let schhols be only for eduation. Evaluation is welcome in schools (not only of students but also of teachers) but evaluation should not become a system of a kind deadly of race among children as it is today.

    Great Article!
    I agree with all the things you said.

    indians are the smartest people on this earth and we have the brains to bulid a great nation.but
    Two things are holding us back one is lack of education and another is politics. until we take care of our government it is going to be tought to created schools which can provide students with eduction that we need.
    we need to educate people to take charge of the lifes and encourage the new generations to get themselves a great education.
    india has the potenial we just need to put an end to corruption or aleast limit it.
    more money in the school system, green revoltion for the framers, and a new and less corrupted gov’t. this are the main changes we need.
    we need Big changes (castsystem must go)

    Everything in India took a deep dive in the last two decades. The effect of this dive in education will be felt in the next decade or so. There appears to be some awakening of late and may be if this trend continues India will come out of the gutters it is presently in. The contribution that has been made and that which continues is the effect of the education system of the past. Individual excellence is still possible and with our vast population quality contribution will still be there. The selfish, perverted, power hungry has always played a major role in India, be it the husband with the dowry stick, or the zamindar or the goonda. It is just that these perverted souls have entered the powerful lobby of politicians. When we are yet to completely erase the dowry hazard, what hopes do we have of eradicating these from the governing lobby.

  19. Comment by k.Suresh Kumar on March 19, 2007 10:53 pm

    Education has been ok in the past. As mentioned we did have our share of people who have excelled in their spheres. Many more who are less known. We have been a poor country and remains to be one because of our selfishness. In spite of the strides made, applaudable though they may seem, these cannot compare even to an oasis in a desert. Just as every other sector of our activities suffer from a lack of application and excellence, so has education. Yes we have been making strides in spite of our poor performance.

    I feel the current education system and the private schools are basically focussing on merits of students.more importance is given to students who are good at studies and who fare well in EXAMS.We are lacking behind in understanding the importance of Extra-curicullar activities.Always believe in Quality and Quantity education.

  22. Comment by Pooja on September 20, 2007 5:29 pm

    i agree. theres a need to bring revolution in educational system which will have to start from pre-primary level. students need more freedom of thoughts, they have to have their own thoughts instead of setting their minds as per whats written in a book. students have to be given exposure to more artistic subjects like scultpure, carpentry, etc so that we can have our own michelangelo, taipei 101, and othe great people and strutures. what students need is more practical knowlege. they should be able to understand life and how to live it own there without being instructed by anyone. those little angels who enter a school campus with free thoughts, nothing yet stable, have to be given a chance to decide on their own about things.
    a lot has to be done and can be done. we just have to take the first step..

  24. Comment by Mohamed Zubair on October 25, 2007 11:51 am

    This is India’s 60th year of Independence. India has transformed itself from a poor agrarian society to a fast developing Nation. The spectacular strides it has made in science and technology, IT, BT has propelled its economic position in the world. However, this hue and cry about progress and shine is the pre dominance o f an elite few. The 29% spectacular growth India has registered has benefitted less than 0.3% of the population. A lot of disparity does exist between the rich and the poor, between the rural and the urban. The increased farmer suicides, atrocities on women and children, injustice meted out to the poor section of the society religious and caste intolerance still persist in our country. The political turmoil, corrupt leaders, economic injustices, lawlessness etc are the result of the social and political order prevalent in the society. The root of the problem goes down to the very same universities and colleges that educate the people who ferment trouble in the society. Today’s problems are the result of the kind of education we have acquired.
    Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the human character and social order. In fact the real function of education is to impart the genuine knowledge about life, existence and future. A real student is one which seeks the realities of life and universe. But the tragedy is that the contemporary educational system aims only at creating a generation that fulfills the market and industrial needs. The ideology of self centralism is creating ‘ultra individuals’ who are more concerned about their material well being and least bothered about the society and the problems people are facing. The academic intelligentsia is also on a mission to depolitize the campus, curb student activism, isolating them from the emotions of the society. Hence it is not obligatory on the part of the student to be socially responsible. Farmer’s suicides, atrocities on women, political corruptions, and injustices are the subjects that are a taboo for the students. These developments are of far reaching consequences. We are preparing dumb, dead citizens, who are socially inactive signaling the end of freedom and the collapse of democracy.
    Even after 60 years of independence, we are not able to wither away from the impact and influence of our colonial past. Our idea of development is synonymous with that of the west. All our life and modes of governance to education is modeled and designed to promote western thought process. Knowing of English is the symbol of

    progress and modernism. We do not find avenues of higher learning like science & technology in our regional languages. All our references to education are those that are designed, conceptualized and promoted by the westerners. India boasts of its Golden Past. India’s contribution during the medieval past to Mathematics, Medicine, Science and technology, Astronomy are well known. But where is this glory lost now? Why aren’t we not bale to produce such intelligentsia today? Why is our technology dependent on the west? Why is that we need to submit to western imperialism to sustain our development? Why India cannot formulate its own nuclear policy? There are many puzzles and many unanswered questions?
    The root of the problem lies in education. We still follow the colonial model of education. It was designed by the British Viceroy Mc culay to serve their colonial interests. In his own words the purpose of that model was to prepare a class of Indians who are Indians by blood and color, but British in their thoughts. Any education that is bereft of its local culture and ethos is doomed to create problems. We are the citizens of a free India but slaves of the west. We are only free to govern this nation. But how to govern, what policies should be adopted are not in our dominion.
    All these have led to our student force losing its vitality, energy and spirit for a life of struggle, endurance and resistance and have fallen prey to lethargy, immobility and lack of responsiveness towards the society.
    It is in this context that SIO shall address the basic limitations of the contemporary educational system, commercialization of education and the other educational issues, the growing dispassionate attitude towards the society in the youth community and thereby reiterate the need to renovate the society.
    All the students and socially responsible citizens that desire to reconstruct the society should come forward and join hands with SIO in its efforts. Just as a drop of water is powerless, similarly a student alone can do much but if the students energy, talents, vibrancy, passion can be organized and channelized then only can they be the catalyst for the desired change. Stop lamenting, be the torch bearers of truth and prepare oneself for a life of discipline and responsibility.
    Come let us Awaken the Nation!

    this very fact is poking my mind for the last two to three years.our indian education surely needs a revolution.but that need not come from somewhere else.all this revolution can be made out of a unique source, and that is our vedic tradition.
    it is not that we don`t have any billgates or michaeljacksons who were born and educated in our counry.it is that most of such talented persons are justmigrating to other countries for riches.
    our vedic tradition teaches us the fact of simple living and high thinking.it just means to live with contentment,without tempting towards so called “riches”.it teaches us to utilize all or talents and wisdom for the welfare of society.

    The very fact that “education system in India needs a change” is poking my mind for the last two to three years.But this change need not come from somewhere else.All the change can be made out with the help of a single source and it is our “vedic tradition.”
    The real problem in our country is not that we dont have any BillGates or MichaelJacksons who were born and educated in our coutry.It is that all such talented persons are migrating to the west for riches.
    Our vedic tradition teaches “simple living–high thinking”.This teaches us to live with cotentment and not to get tempted towards the so called “riches”.It teaches us to utilize all our strength and wisdom for welfare of the country and the society as a whole.This is just an example of how the vedic tradition educates us upto the mark of today`s requirements.In fact all the science is being proved to have its roots in the vedas.
    So I opine that vedic education, with an intellectual approach will surely meet the reqirements of the present Indian scenario.

  28. Comment by Sudhir Rao on December 1, 2007 3:26 am

    Good work dude! I have been concerned about India’s education system for past 5 years now. We are badly failing in delivering real graduates who are uplifted by knowledge and are ready to experiment. Though revolution idea is great, remember education is a slow process and we need to build it with strong foundations. These are some actions required,

    1) Role of Government — New Education Policy should give greater autonomy to universities and completely overhaul the system. The govt. should relinquish its control (read HRD ministry) and should assume the role of regulatory commission. This involves doing R&D studies and use of statistics to access the deficiencies and to formulate the vision of the Indian education System. In regard to this, I am very happy with the work by National Knowledge Commission headed by Sam Pitroda. They are doing amazing work to first come up with facts and use them to see what is the best cost effective and integrated solution needed. If any one here doesn’t know who Sam Pitroda is, he is the guy who brought about Telecommunication revolution in India under Rajiv Gandhi. Notice the word revolution!!

    2) Independent Body and Funding agencies — It is very important that politicians do what they do best - make policy (unfortunately in India, even this one job is not done by them right). They can’t direct the next frontier of science, art and technology! There should be a board or panel of eminent scientist, artists, management gurus who are appointed on tenure basis and who constantly upgrade the vision of our Nation. Remember the movement we stop changing and learning, we are out of business. From these should off shoot bodies like National Science Foundation (NSF) etc. which have clear goals for the nation to achieve and would fund various univs for R&D.

    3) Go back to Univs — We need to understand one thing. IIT and IIMs are good, but they were 60 years old ideas. If any one of you has ever pursued higher education in US universities, you know the difference immediately. With everything under one place from Medical to Arts, the students gets to interact with a diverse group of people. Further with more and more interdisciplinary research these days it makes even more sense to open new univs and not just IITs and IIMs. How is a biomedical engineering student supposed to learn if there is no close by Medical institute. Structuring and changing univs to meet future challenges are much easier then these isolated pockets of excellence.

    4) Foreign Competition — A best way to shake a under performing person is to put in competition. This is also applicable to our univs. When foreign univs come in, they will give stiff competition which will make education sector competitive and lucrative. It is high time to open up our education system to free market competition. Look at china which now has many foreign universities centers working there.

    5) Role of Industries — Private industries should be regulated by government to spend more on R&D (at least 5%) and collaborate with univs to find solutions. Further, endowment chairs and gifts to universities will help them maintain quality.

    6) Quality control — It is important that the head of a university is appointed on performance basis and only report to board of governors directly as is done in many US univs. They are like CEOs and have immense power, but also have the risk of getting fired if they don’t perform. This would only allow visionary leaders to survive. This also applies to faculty whose salaries should be partly dictated by competitiveness. Some university presidents in US are ex director of CIA, great economists and political heavyweights ( for example Robert Gates, Secretary of Defense, was president of Texas A&M univ; Bob Kerrey is president of New School and former Senator. ).

    7) Role of Media — This completes the loop. The Media should educate general public about things going on and should provide impartial view of events. They act as quality control agents and make leaders accountable. My favorite channels are PBS and C-Span which show interview with authors about their latest books, critical articles on national policy and in general great educational resources. I hardly see that in India. Media completes the loop by giving back the ordinary man the right information he needs to know to take action.

    Only if we have good foundation (including policies) and right people we will stand up against world competition (especially China). Remember, we were once a great knowledge economy. We just have to rediscover our past. Not only that would be our own it will be unique!!

    Dear Sir,

    I would also like to add to your excellent post regarding Indian Education System, that India needs to focus on developing mainstream research activities and create research mindedness among students, since only through extensive research can we prepare a patent base comparable to the developed nations, giving us a continuos inflow of good foreign exchange for the products developed on these patents.
    The infrastructure and mentoring provided by the educational institutions for R&D is dismal and hence the students have to turn to companies, which take control over the IPR (Intellectual Property Rights) of the products thus developed. Since these companies are mostly foreign based, the revenue generated gets funneled out into their respective countries.
    I have tried to put forth a standardised education system here:

    The education system of India refers to the monument of a person which he gets after education, it leads only the halfway to the effective life. It depends only on a person that , what is his willingness or desires.This education is not enough to the country because it leads only rankers and toppers, then what about the other students of country and their desires and progress of our nation?

    Sir,

    It was just Amazing. when i was searching for info on education system of our country, i got your blog.
    From my childhood i used to think about our education system. I’m not telling it is bad, but, it has to be changed.
    Because of our education system, especially secondary higher education, students are struggling a lot. As India’s future is in the hands of youngsters, we have to put our efforts for the change that everyone can believe in. So that, our future generations can have the fruits of our efforts.
    So many children are dying in India out of stress that was caused by teachers, parents,and moreover by society.

    India is the important source for manpower for so many countries. There is no palace in world that an Indian cannot enter. We are outsourcing so many IT people. So many Indians are in states. For these people, our government is putting lot of money in the name of subsidies. According to the info i know, every year our country is spending nearly 1000C on these people. If the government can take back this money from them after they get settled, it will be helpful to the rural childern

    Hi, a very good view on the indian education system.I think this is the high time we start thinking about the revolution in education system that offers the knowledge not only to make indian brains to work abroad but to bring a greater change in indian economy.We have lot of brilliant brains in our country,there is absolutely no doubt about it.But the point is how many among them are in india at this point. Why?What is the reason they give for going abroad?
    “OPPURTUNITY AND SCOPE”–these are the keywords putforth by almost all the people who crave for going abroad.But we should clearly understand onething that oppurtunities wont come running behind you..rather you have to go behind it.With all these developments today i think if you have the proper talents and knowledge there are companies,industries and institutions who acknowledges you….
