Higher Education in India |
Education in India is seen as one of the ways to
upward social mobility. Good education is seen as a stepping stone to a
high flying career. Education System in India currently represents a
great paradox. On the one hand we have IIMs & IITs that rank among
the best institutes in the world and on the other hand there are number
of schools in the country that don't even have the basic infrastructure.
Even after more than 50 years after independence we are far away from
the goal of universal literacy. But on a positive note, Indian
professionals are considered among the best in the world are in great
demand. This signifies the inherent strength of Indian education system.
The Educational structure in India which operates at all conceivable
levels from pre-school to post doctoral is of monumental proportions.
According to a World Bank report there are more than 7,40,000 formal
schools; more than 3.6 million teachers are working on full time basis;
there are more than 175 Universities offering under graduate and post
graduate courses and about 6000 colleges affiliated to these
universities.
The educational structure in India is generally referred to as the Ten
+ Two + Three (10+2+3) pattern. The first ten years provide
undifferentiated general education for all students. The +2 stage, also
known as the higher secondary or senior secondary, provides for
differentiation into academic and vocational streams and marks the end
of school education. In +3 stage, which involves college education, the
student goes for higher studies in his chosen field of subject.This is a
