Indian Education System - On verge of Collapse

India is n has been known for intellectuals and scholars for centuries, our education system has been appreciated and admired for same period. But with growing number of student to private colleges population somewhere cracks are becoming visible, wider and wider, government on other hand is failing big time, it is helping more to widen them than fill them.

Number of students clearing HSC, SSC like exams are 70%+ which itself shows either pattern is fixed syllabus has not much challenges for students. So all one does is rutta-fy(mug up) possible question answers and go score marks. Scenario is not much different at graduation/post graduation level, out of all pass outs most of industries found only 10-15% candidates recruit able.

Every year government spends billions of dollars on education programmes, which hardly show any results but money is poured year after year, benefiting big corruption machines of system.

With indian economy showing positive and futuristic results since 1990's country need s to improve cause of this boom, its human resources, which hold key for a better quality of living to earning for every one.

Indian companies have done good in Services sector but there are hardly any original products from India, where as 2mn population countries like Estonia have Skype to showcase, few mn population Israel has n nof of products to showcase, 60 sq km Singapore to HongKong has Financial districts to showcase, even bigger neighbor China
has SEZs to showcase.

Some where we need to make sure we need to nurture learning as in whole like wise old days of Nalanda and Harrapan periods. No good students want to take up research to teaching which itself is a indication of how early and short duration our educational systems needs a repair oiling and thinking steam.
