The Lagging Behind of Indian Education System

Abstract

“Education enables the humans to achieve their fullest mental and physical potential in both personal and social life.” The importance of education cannot be overemphasized. Education participates critically in building individual endowments and abilities; it drives social and economic development at the national level. India with more than a billion residents has the second largest education system in the world (after China). As of the beginning of 2017 according to experts estimates 29.7% of the population of India has been in the age group 0-15 years. But counter to the image of India as a youthful engine of economic growth where many citizens work in some of the best technology centered jobs in the world, HRD ministry statistics demonstrate a significant decline in national primary school enrollments. If India’s population is not trained to face the globalized world – we will soon become a nation of servants & clerks. The below Article is about the defects in our present system of Education. Read it mindfully for learning why “a radical change is the need of the hour.”
