Tell about Indian Education System

hello

In ancient times, India had the Gurukula system of education in which anyone who wished to study went to a teacher's (Guru) house and requested to be taught.

If accepted as a student by the guru, he would then stay at the guru's place and help in all activities at home.

This not only created a strong tie between the teacher and the student, but also taught the student everything about running a house.

The guru taught everything the child wanted to learn, from Sanskrit to the holy scriptures and from Mathematics to Metaphysics.

The student stayed as long as she wished or until the guru felt that he had taught everything he could teach. All learning was closely linked to nature and to life, and not confined to memorizing some information.

The modern school system was brought to India, including the English language, originally by Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay in the 1830s. The curriculum was confined to “modern” subjects such as science and mathematics, and subjects like metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary.

Teaching was confined to classrooms and the link with nature was broken, as also the close relationship between the teacher and the student.

The inflow of Foreign Direct Investment in the Indian educational system amounted to US$ 1,256 million in the period between April 2000 and March 2016. In the financial year 2015-16, the Indian education market was worth US$ 100 billion.

India’s e-learning market is expected to touch US$ 40 billion this year. India is also the second largest e-learning market in the world after the USA. The distance education sector in India is expected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 34 percent by 2018.

The Uttar Pradesh (a state in India) Board of High School and Intermediate Education was the first Board set up in India in the year 1921 with jurisdiction over Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior.

In 1929, the Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana, was established. Later, boards were established in some of the states. But eventually, in 1952, the constitution of the board was amended and it was renamed Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).

The most alarming fact about the Indian education system is the fact that only one out of nine children join a higher educational course after completing school. This translates to a dismal enrollment ratio of 11% as opposed to the USA with an enrollment ratio of 83%.

The higher educational sector in India is the largest in the world with more than 70 million enrollments. India has also been able to create 40 million more vacancies for the students.

The sad state of affairs of the higher educational system in India can be gauged by the fact that only one out of ten students holding a degree in Humanities are employable while only one out of four Engineering graduates are capable of employment.

All schools in Delhi and some other regions came under the Board. It was the function of the Board to decide on things like curriculum, textbooks and examination system for all schools affiliated to it

Apart from the ICSE and CBSE, the various Indian states have a State Board of Secondary Education except Andhra Pradesh which has more than one board. Union territories such as Daman and Diu, Lakshwadeep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Chandigarh and Pudducherry do not have their own board.

Today there are thousands of schools affiliated to the Board, both within India and in many other countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

According to NAAC, 90% of the colleges and 70% of the universities in the country are of either average or poor quality. These numbers caused much consternation among the policy planners in New Delhi.

Universal and compulsory education for all children in the age group of 6-14 was a cherished dream of the new government of the Republic of India.
