We need revolution in Indian education. Govt plan for many IITs & IIMs are welcome and highly useful.Apart from educating Children, we need to educate the majors ie above 18 yrs, and make them employable. If Indian women start working like men, imaging the outcome. Productivity of country & GDP [above 10%]will go high, export will shoot up, wealth creation will go high, etc,etc.
These guys (and the Sonia slave Sibbal) want to make our country another America where stupids are produced from the schools and colleges.Just buzz off.

An educated but unemployed man is better than an illeterate unemployed. Its these American stupids who eventually create jobs for millions of people like you. Know Bill Gates, George Soros. They are definately not one of those SRCC college toppers.
Efforts at Reducing population simultaneously is the other book holder; with push to expand education services alone, the books will fall off the other side - quality can be notice by balancing quantity.
This measure is to be our other clapping hand - like it or not!
Then why is Obamaji daily crying that American kids lag behind their Indian and chinese counterparts? He cries almost daily these days saying that American kids spend less time in classes and more time playing video games. Please send your message to him and ask him to stop crying. Thanks
Why just education? The Indian political system has let down every sphere of Indian life. There is nothing good being done by the Govt in any area of its responsibility be it education, health care, etc. All these are its responsibility though. There is no dearth of allocations. It is just the delivery system that is flawed and the money is then looted.
One of the most flawed and unjust laws is the RTE. The Govt wants to push its own responsibilities on to private schools.
Get rid of Bhramins in teaching positions. keep only 2% seats for them in proportion with their population. This caste has kept india illiterate for the last 2000 years. Pathetic state of eductation is because of their deliberate sabotage of the system.

Private sector (baniya caste) only wants to create an army of literate (not educated) people who can minimum read the instruction manual and produce the goods for them. Education in terms, art, philosophy, social scienes, life sciences, history is what makes a man education. Beware of these private sector designs

ckristtians want free education like reservation? FONIAJI mathaji didn't even go to school? now she is the queen? so don't go to school/ you can also be king and prince like highschool dropout Raul?
Now even rediff agrees with me. USA gives best education to kids. Indian kids just mug up things while our kids think creatively. You can see this by comparing a 7th grade kid from both countries. This is one reason why NRIs never come back.

Dear Ranjana, i too live in usa and have a 4th grader son..and we are planning to return to india..now every kid is special, us or india..so i would not compare..but i am not sure what state you are in the states, but the school education in us is pretty low..so if you compare the course curriculam or the students till 10th grade you will see indians student having advantage and lead..it is only higher education where US leads all..

U r doing a big mistake of bringing your kid here. U r depriving him of good education. he will start speaking Eng with Hindi accent. It will b difficult for him as he cannot use calculators there. The syllabus is too much kids at 6th grade learn periodic table in chemistry. Marks are everything there. Think twice before going. I live in NJ. Why are you returning BTW?

Mam, somethings are better abroad some are not. Its good to learn from the better practices abroad but denouncing your roots is hypocrisy. I am in Australia now and am in a position to compare

Completely agree with you Ranjana. School education in India is only theory and rote learning. Later on in 10th & 12th or probably earlier every kid joins coaching classes, which is another racket. School education in USA is far superior. Unfortunately in India education is considered to be filling up kids with plenty of useless information, & testing them by seeing if they can recall the information. There is no emphasis on understanding, reasoning out and forming your own opinions/ideas. Children are not encouraged to look for answers, but just memorise, and marked purely on how exactly they can reproduce from memory.

Education is one thing. Life needs character. I want this migrated lady to check when she is old whether her kids belong to her.
Fine if you have migrated but don't look down upon the people who live in India.
You will see that your kids will have to work under the desi kids speaking English in Hindi accent.
Our education system was created by the British for use of persons to help them collect taxes and to run their menial services. It is hardly conducive to original thinking and knowing the concepts [in sciences]behind the knowledge being imparted. Much of the stuff being taught is hardly of any practical use to most of the students. Knowing the answers by heart and producing them in the examination is the aim of our current way of learning. The teachers and professors, including those at the high-quality Centres of learning, are not up to the mark and take the line for salaries and not because of aptitudes in teaching; and the salaries are meagre. Finally, the government's attitude of keeping the population either ignorant or half-baked, to gain easy hold on the masses in order to sway them emotionally to their own views contribute greatly to the sad state of affairs. As the article points out, skills are to be taught, original thinking should be encouraged [this needs immense courage on the part of the teachers to tolerate dissidence]and the extent to which a subject is understood is to be tested. The article rightly points out that the change must start NOW.
