Review of current education system
Keywords:
Education system, investmentAbstract
The Indian Education system is producing a large number of graduates that are unemployable. They lack basic communication and problem solving skills that are needed for even the most elementary jobs. The problem is not infrastructure or money. Indians are willing to invest in education and this investment is more than sufficient to create infrastructure for most Bachelor or Masters level courses. Except in very few technical fields such as medicine, fees paid by students are sufficient to provide good quality education. But clearly this is not what is happening. The problem is that a vast majority of Indian colleges lack the focus to create employable graduates. Their task, as colleges see it, is to help students go through a curriculum and pass an exam. After that, the student is on his own.
