Poor
education of India
Indian student ranked second last among 73 countries
that participated in the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment
(PISA).
The Programme for International Student Assessment
(PISA) is a worldwide by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) in member and non-member nations of 15- year old school
pupils scholastic performance on mathematics, science and reading.
The poor results in mathematics, science and reading
among school-leaving students of Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, two of
India’s better performing states on development and education.
The fact is that the quality of education in India
is not so good. In government schools there is a serious shortage of teachers
and even when teachers are available not so good in quality. There is also the
real problem is shortage of basic needs like classrooms, blackboard, books and
the like.
In India education mostly depends on theoretical
knowledge. Never ever is there any focus on practical learning in our
education. Science is all about learning theories with there being no facility
to visit science centre to see the theories work in practice. In fact most Indian
cities do not even have well equipped science centre which can teach practical
science to students.
In government schools student didn’t get right way
of education because of poor quality of teachers, classrooms, blackboards and
most important books. And if student wants these all thing of learning in good
quality then they have financial problems. Private schools have all facilities
but with more fees and the students of rural areas can’t afford it so, they can’t get real
knowledge which they deserve.
Government have to change the education system and
provide all facilities to every school especially in rural area rather than
blaming the students and India’s poor educational score on cultural disconnect.
