No doubt reforms in education sector are necessary but these should be in a positive direction and not merely to benefit the business houses.

No reforms in the education sector can work until the government increases the budget on education.

Ritesh
First of all we need to shut down the shops of education. There should be strict rules to govern the educational institutions. All the deemed universities which are not functioning up to the standards set should be closed.

I think Professor Yash Pal is working in right direction and he should be given free hand to overhaul the over all education sector.

Souransu

Yes you are right, it should work for the welfare of our human potential rather than for the business houses in the sector.

Avadhut

Budget is a good ting, but I don’t think education sector is devoid of budgetary needs.It is rather the problem in the implementation part for the educational reform.

Ritesh
Who are these pseudo educationists? would you please call them by name? It's creating confusion. There are many well known and good educationists involved in this whole debate of overhauling the education sector.

Yash

Sir, what I believe that shutting down the shops will not work. Rather we can opt for a strict rule & regulations to be abode by these shops.

Pseudo-educationists list itself starts with our Education Minister, who, in a step to show that he is most efficient person in the chair, started with announcing about reforms without thoroughly going into the details & consensus on the topic.

Then comes our media, which is there to elevate any topic out of the proportion.& then, we, the Indian population which is expert of every trade.

Ritesh
You pointed out the right persons. The HRD minister himself is insufficient to look into the matter. Same was the case with Arjun Singh.

Shutting down the shops wouldn't work? It's the most efficient way to get rid of them. They will keep on violating the rules and regulations. We should not allow any individual to run their education institutions and government should overtake these institutes. Privatization of education can never be beneficial for us.

I welcome the new steps taken by Mr Sibbal on the education system, specially the zero tolerance towards ragging.

Plus mugging should also be replaced by some real learning...

Education system need chage with a Grade. like pre independance period. Mean Basic Education called 5 th class. than 8th Class than 10 th and 12 th than BA and MA. Subjects taught must be according to the country need , I have seen so called Educated , does not have basic knowledge. of how to Use the ROADS, or Traffic Rules, so Education must be knowledge based all over India. , Combination of Subjects must be abolished as a Child may be comfortable with one subject but not the other one which creat the drop outs. 90% so called educated female, end up. as HOUSE MANAGER but most of them lack in the real capability, I suggest that basic Education for male female should be different , when we must have 100% population to get educated in all field, High School 0r X class must be for self employed with minimum burden on too advance subjects to avoid the School drop outs, those going for Higher may choose from 9th or 11th class onward. when mind become quite mature to graspthe sunjects and child want tochoose specific field . Class X can have general subject to have basic knowledge on all subjects on Elementary level. Examination sysyem should not Go as our Institutions are not fair, majority of teachers are not competent to impart Education to children , so child land up as drop out due to pressure from the parents and School teachers. The School teachers should not be allowed to take Tutions privately.and no Private Institution allowed to impart Coaching on education upto Class X.

@Yash

Sir, see this notion, If the grocery shops at your nearest neighborhood are selling contaminated food & there are no options like malls out there, what will be your choice for the thing.

If we don’t have the potential to make people abide by the rules, it is the problem with us, not those offenders.

@Capt.

Sir I fully agree with you, but still things are to be worked upon in a manner that not only bookish education, but the sporting education is also a part of our academe.

@Sanwali

Ma’m I am not against reform, I am supporting the cause with this article, but yet it needs more than what our education minister has scoped about in present context.See Capt’s comment for further inputs.
