INTRODUCTION Education is the process of learning, or getting of knowledge, skills, values and habits of essential needs of life. Education system is differ from one and another country, not all the countries are following a common education system.
TYPE OF EDUCATION SYSTEM FOLLOWED IN INDIA The National policy of education system was farmed in the year 1986 and it was amended in the year 1992. The scheme name RASHTRIYA MADYAMIKA ABHIYAN was established in the year 2009 and the main aim of this scheme is everyone can able to get easy access to secondary education and to improve the quality of higher education system. The New Education(NEP) is formed in the year 2016 to bring revolutionary changes in Indian Education System.
LEVELS OF INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM ‹#› Indian education hierarchy PRIMARY Class : 1-5 Age : 6-11 SECONDARY Class : 6-10 Age : 11-15 HIGHER SECONDARY Class : 11-12 Age : 16-17 GRADUATION Professional 4 years Medicine 5 years Commerce 3 years POST GRADUATION 1.5 TO 3 YEARS
ADVANTAGES OF INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM Very few countries follow regular attendance method in schools and INDIA is one of them. In INDIA, students attempts many exams. As a result, analyzing strength and weakness is preferably easy. By comparing with other countries only in INDIA students have a basic knowledge about all subjects. ‹#›
Drawbacks of indian education system As per survey, only 18% of students where used to understand the concept of the subject and can able to answer in their own words. The syllabus is mostly in the form of theoretical basis, there is only few subjects contains practical concepts. In INDIA, most students run behind numbers rather than gathering knowledge. ‹#›
Indian vs Foreign Education System Focuses more on theory. Generally students are admitted into streams which have higher pay scale or higher number of jobs. We believe in grades and certificates. Our education system test how much we memorise facts and figures. Old technologies. Focuses more on practical. Students wait until they get admission into their field of interest. Believe in skills over grades or certificates. They impact knowledge in students through practical implementations. They changes according to upgradation of technology. ‹#› INDIAN FOREIGN
Problem with indian education system Lack of funds ( Due to insufficient funds most educational institutions is lack of infrastructure, science equipment and libraries etc) Expensive higher education (Universities, professionals and technical educations are too much costly. So that everyone is not able to get proper education) Neglect of INDIAN languages (Rural students who are not properly well versed in English, cannot study properly as standard publications are not available in Indian languages) Mass illiteracy (In INDIA, one third of total population remains illiterate whereas people in other countries in 100% literate. That’s why INDIA is facing unemployment) ‹#›
Steps to improve indian education system Indian government needs to invest large amount in order to develop the infrastructure of schools and colleges. Learning should more focus on practical over theory. Methods of teaching also needs to change. Teacher should encourage students to think logically and to increase creativity in students. At last, everyone should change their mentality to follow up someone and pursue their interest. ‹#›
T eacher-student relationship In the early age, relation between guru-sishya was differ from today’s teacher-student relation. Today’s relation is based upon questioning and analysis. For better relation both parties should take one step forward. Everyone has to remember that teacher is the epitome of knowledge . ‹#›
Our thoughts ‹#› As per my thought, I will never say that Indian Education is the poorest education. Around the earth, we find many successful people from this education system and they are just doing great. In ancient era, we get famous astrologer , mathematician Aryabhatta , great physician and surgeon Sushrut popularly known as “Father of Indian Surgery”. Nowadays we find Sundar PIchai (CEO of google), Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (Former president of INDIA) and many others. Nothing is purely perfect. Everything has some flaws and our education system is not an exception. Yes, it need some changes and it will be alright. Let’s hope for the best in near future.

Conclusion ‹#› Now a days a lot of positive changes are happening in education system of INDIA. With the effective learning system and huge human resources, one day India will be the leading country in world education.
