The Big Picture - Education agenda for New India

There is a dire need for revolutionary changes in the India's education system, there is no doubt about that. The cut-offs at some of the top universities is over 99% if not 100%. Students are pushed to the brink to try and further their educational ambitions. Several aspects need to be addressed if we have to achieve the desired results and head in the right direction. India has one of the youngest populations in an aging world. By 2020, the median age in India will be just 28, compared to 37 in China and the US, 45 in Western Europe, and 49 in Japan. But for us to reap the benefit of this demographic dividend we need to ensure that we see an overhaul in our education system. The Finance Minister, Mr. Arun jaitley in an exclusive interview to me over the weekend, said that education will be one of the key focus areas if his government comes back to power. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse the education agenda for a new and changing India.

India currently have 15 lakh schools upto class 8th whereas China have only 5 lakh but the results are totally opposite in quality education.

[@DeependraTube]

your information is wrong. India has about 7 lakhs villages... according to u , every village has 2 schools , which is quite wrong. Get ur facts right ! 🙏

[@shyamu431]

I liked your approach by the way you showed disagreement. The data which I had mentioned there is collected from Times of India which might be wrong.

[@DeependraTube]

@@shyamu431 I also read such numbers on internet , but the point is ....... In India about 1.8-1.9 crore children born each year now. and if we have 15 lakhs school, then it seems every school is opened for just 12 children only.... that sounds hilarious :)

[@Anwer087]

15 lakhis number for primarym upper primary, secondary and senior secondary... only primary ar around 8.4 lakh by 2014-15 which may have incread by nowup to 10 lakh

[@shyamu431]

It's not primary so I corrected the information whereas aproposof 15 lakh its true according to TOI newspaper of 31st March 2019,page number 15.

[@EducationPointOfficial]

Quality education is lacking day by day from kg level to higher education level. The government needs to work on quality education on ground level not only on paper. This is time to think for all the Indians for the solutions and make education skillful.

[@vivekvikramsingh6089]

Basic education condition are worst in Uttar Pradesh. Resently up govt started teacher recruitment for that. Govt set high cutoff so that only good student can become teacher. But there were few having low marks went court against it. They complained that proper Rules were not adopted. So finally high court struck down govt high cutoff and lowered the cutoff . As court said it was against the right to equality.😀

[@devajanisaikia9425]

Best Anchor Mr. Frank. Just saw your interview with finance mininster.. amazing questions.

Though central government has been implementing various policies regarding education but education is a state subject,every state have different approach to it n accordingly they have been doing their things whether it will good or bad,so central should directly guide the state to reform education.

Please close all private school, college and educational organisations up to 12th standard . This will help a lot in good and equal education system because there are many discrimination in our society towards private school and government school . If there will be not any options for private schools then most of people ( politicians, bureaucrats and officers of education ) concentrate on development of government schools. Also set up micro manufacturing unit in the Government school ( above 6th standard ). #Discrimination creates differences This is my own opinion, if any body agree with me. Like and raise your voice in favour of United India and developing India. Jay Hind . Thanks

[@SirAvinaash]

Thanks Rajan and RSTV for bringing such a quality program upto us. Intelligent panelist specially Prof Anita Rampal and other guests. Major difference in their views are philosophy in which they believe. Prof Rampal believe a humanistic approach of education while others have economist view on education. One believe education is an endivour to make human and develop a humanistic society while other's think it as a medium for economic contribution of the nation. So all have different arguments. However, Frank you summed up the entire discussion nicely

[@discipline1255]

[@SolutiontvStudy]

Age of different countries 37 china and us 45 in uk Education will be key Starting with Primary education; politican need to understand. What has gone wrong in primary education. Education Class three: against democratic right. Schools are hierarachial Understand that. Aa far as primary what is biggest challenge is that Schools are you need to Challenge; teacher education. Pakistan public school. Good school gives library. Science lab. None of them is available in public school. Teacher's driving is not. Invest in good teacher. Good labs for science. Education system has not worked well in Pakistan. Quality of school education. Teaching has become job for people not profession to learn and teach.. Quality teachers will produce quality students. Are we promoting teaching? Parents do not send public school. First priaroty of parents is to send children to private schools.. Untill and unless we take serisuly the education.

[@hindools2107]

Thanks for this, also the education system of ours was created by the British who implemented this for no creativity in children of India Therefore the whole education system must be recreated which doesn’t make children memorise stuff but also enhance their creativity, their mentality, their knowledge but more importantly teach them to be a good person by teaching them good values and how to respect others. Jai Hind!

[@Nik-zf4xl]

how can we get better output from public education by following preindependence time obsolate mode strategies. our education has merely inject the aim on childrens to crack exams. It needs much more social integration than isolation. Diversification and quality building programs are needed in education sector. Asses the quality of teachers .

[@edok2306]

Our indian forefathers were very worried about the education system dished out by the Brits. They thought education was turning into something that was all about jobs. BEFORE the industrial revolution, (after which education became all about jobs) WHAT was education all about? If attention was paid to that on top of focusing for jobs, a much better society could've been achieved. Btw, I too am running after jobs, but those jobs from where I can make an impact. You should too, for our kids sake.

Why graduate students are not qualified for jobs?.. answer lies in lack of industry- academia coordination..
