Education in India

What I feel that different education boards for different states have their own marking standards like UP Board is supposed to be too tough where the marking ids too tough than CBSE. Where as CBSE being a board with common marking allover the country keeps them at equal terms although this is not a criteria for judging knowledge.

You are right in saying that the marking system is different for every education boards for different states.But as far as I know, when students apply for admission in any states, if he/ she meets the minimum qualification and has successfully passed the entrance exam, he or she is admitted.I don't think a CBSE or ISC passed out students have more advantage than the others. I mean, the criteria remains the same. As I mentioned earlier, same is the case during employment. At least I have not experienced or heard of any case where CBSE passed out students have been preferred over others.

Dear Jabeen, i didn't mean it with the more values between state and other syllabse. I just mentioned is the comparison between parents and others about syllabse. Not the value. If i tell any wrong please ignore.

Syallabus must be changed alot when I was small the syallabus also same when I had seen them some days ago.

Actually I could not understand it when you said 'value' and 'language syllabus' in your earlier post. That's why I had asked you for more detail. Anyway, if you were talking about the differences in the syllabus of different educational boards, definitely some parents prefer CBSE as they feel the knowledge is up to date under it. But nowadays,even the other educational boards regularly review the syllabus to give knowledge relevant with the present times

Education in India is in the hands of private sector rather than government..In other countries government will control the education directly.. so there will be uniformity and persistance.. but it is the opposite case here.

that is why the problem of more fees and degree of coaching arises here..

I think the system of education is poor compared to outside India.

India is lagging far behind in education in international education status. 50 more years would take to combat foreign countries' education status.

Students should be taught practically. They should not be just taught theories (though they are important). Most students don't know how to apply what they have learnt in their practical life. :(

Of course our education system needs a complete overhaul, but at the same time we should also consider the fact that the entire National Health Scheme is run with the help of Indian doctors and nurses , almost all of them having studies here ...It is the same case with the software engineers in the US mostly Indians ..Once an say that Professional courses are comparetively better but you need to perform there after having gone through the basic education at school !
So I would say that our education system can be still better but it is not bad either !

The primary school syllabus are good as it cover most things. but I feel the secondary school syllabus become burden for children. Really too much.Need to change.

There is a lot to be done to improve education system. We are still not the worst. Many students from other countries come to India for education.

But alarming is the scam and corruption in education. The Bhim Rao Ambedkar University Agra is unable even to issue Degree certificates to students who have to struggle even for such a small thing.

There are universities giving fake certificates that are on sale. What could be more annoying and shameful?

While India can boast of having the third largest higher education system in the world, but the reality is that India is facing a severe shortage of skilled human resources. The reason for such a contrasting situation is the extremely low quality of primary, secondary, and college-level education in India. A possible way-out from this situation is privatization of the education system, which is predominantly public at present. Privatization of education has the potential to improve the quality of education as well as to reduce the cost. However, to ensure access to education for all, the government must design an effective transfer-payment system.
