Education
is the most important sector that organically develops a country’s economy.
Though there is direct statistics to showcase multiplicative growth of GDP
through investment in education but there is a latent induction which provides
long term impact in the future. The main problem in education is its core
strategic obsolescence. The system has been rusted with inefficient and
obsolete plans that hardly mused over its dynamicity and tenability to meet the
future demands. Indian Education system became a disaster after British
Imperial rule when the system was explicitly converted into more a training
program than a holistic infrastructure. Core
values and significant customs that the country had generated since the Vedic
ages was replaced by modular and objective education dictatorship. A society
can be dismantled if its base can be made weak and thus the true motive behind
this was not to empower rationality in Indian minds. After Independence, when
the country got busy in its problems like economy, administration,
international relations etc. it could hardly revise the education system and
thus the abnormalities carried forward its adversities. The system should be
reconstructed in a manner that it can invoke value education in pupils. Due to
advent of technology, the system could witness a rapid digitization in its
medium and it can expect better economization of resources in future too. If we
look at the different stages and form of education, we can classify it into the
following manner
Institutional
education-
Primary
Secondary
Higher
Secondary
Graduation
and Postgraduation
Professional
Research
Non-Institutional
Education
Courses
Trainings
and cohort
Certificate
and skill development programs
Modular and
session-based learnings
Thus, we
can estimate a multibillion-dollar industry which does not only directly
employs a significant labor force but also it enhances the productivity of the
country. Owing to certain reforms, a hybrid mechanism to provide education is
now possible. The main point of discussion does not stop just by making the
medium efficient. It also matters what are the utilities that the education
providers can contribute. We should ponder over identifying problems and then
think up for solution followed by controlling. The major problem is that the
industry is highly disorganized and there is a reasonable gap between services
provided by private and government. The private firms have created jots to
assure profitability and the govt has failed to prepare a sustainable plan for
its development. Thus, there is a high requirement to hold hands together.
If we deep
dive into the local schools of India, we can witness the degraded quality of
education. Incompetent faculty, faulty infrastructure, lack of motivation and
culture are some of the factors. There is a huge industry for coaching and
training surrounding this system but the system is not able to absorb its
efficiencies. The reasons can be many. In most of the cases, it is a willful
and corruptive conspiracy. Let us now look over some of the corruptions. The
funds which are apportioned are not utilized for productive purpose because
either there is no one to govern the functional action and if present, they are
also the part of the corruptions. I can take example of SSC scam of West Bengal
in which the former education minister of the state was convicted. When the
head of management is ignorant of his duties and obligation, it clearly
picturizes the stigma of its farrago. Education requires application of strong
strategic management that can rebuild its approach thorough strategic analysis.
