Indian education System

The birth of child has been always considered as a very auspicious occasion. Right from that time, the parents and other relatives start researching in to even the very minute things, his name, his education, and much more; all those things that can affect this small little life at any point in his future.
Education, in today’s time especially, has always been a very important concern for the parents. Nursery’s to primary schools to higher schools and then graduation with finally ending up in the job is what forms one of the major ingredients of one’s life. It never ends, as it continues throughout one’s lifetime. Its not that you need to be master in some particular field and leave the rest, as life cannot go on like that. Sociology, cultural aspects, spiritual thoughts, environmental education apart from the field of your specialization are some of the other areas of education that a child learns naturally while living in his family, clan relatives, community, at his work. The knowledge gets sharpen as he gets more exposure in the world and thus it continues to grow endlessly.
Looking back in to the rich past of the country, one can easily observe the various ups and downs that the education system of India has gone through. With the change in the rule over a territory, changed the education policies; sometimes taking the system in a positive direction while at other times, proved a curse to the society.
There are other private as well as state combined with private schools in the country, that though have fee structure entirely different from that of the government schools where the education is entirely free, but excel in providing the quality education to the children.
Indian schooling takes basically fourteen years from child’s lifetime, starting with the nursery classes at the age of around three years, where a child learns the basic alphabets of English and other tools of the basic subjects. The idea is to develop the capability of recognizing and understanding the things around the kids. As the student gets promoted to the higher classes, he comes to know about the various aspects of our society, the history - geography of the country, our constitution, the basic science that rules nature, a bit of algebra and much more. In the last two years of his schooling, a child is made to specialize in the field which he opts to take as his career. All this time, it’s not just the books that are included in the course curriculum to develop in him the skills of being a hard working child that believes to go deep in to the concept rather than becoming just a regurgitate, sports and other cultural activities are also added up in the day routine so that the refreshment along with the development of new skills may be developed in the child. The cultural activities may range from painting, gardening, dance, photography to Even after these obstacles, there are states like
Kerla in the country that have been able to achieve literacy rate as high as 95% to 98%. It is primarily because of the state’s education policies and individual’s effort that the state has been able to develop and keep a proper pace with time.
To conclude with, it can be said that although Indian Education System has few visible flaws, the curriculum of it so very complete and well defined that it develops a hard working and dedication in the student, which keeps him at much higher ranks when it comes to judging an Indian child on global level.
