Question
Give any three challenges facing Indian education system.
✓

Answer

  1. The major challenge in the area of education is to bring all Indian children in the age group 6-14 years under the purview of school education.
  2. Per capita education expenditure differs across the states. This in turn leads to variation in educational opportunities and attainments across the states. Further this is contrary to the purpose of equity (regional equality).
  3. Education for All' still seems to be distant dream. This is because of the fact that no doubt the literacy rates have gone up relatively but the absolute numbers of illiterates in India are as much as India's population at the the time of independence.

Government had allocated ₹ 42 crore for the upliftment of Pahadi Korwas, a tribal community. Under this project, a road was developed in the Kach Ketha village costing ₹ 17.44 lakh. However, the officials failed to notice that there was only one Korwa family in that village and they were suffering from acute water shortage. Also, these funds were grossly misappropriated as only 'Lal Mitti' was put over a Kutcha road. As Ramdas says, "Instead of spending ₹ 17.44 lakh of that road, if they had spent a few thousands on improving the damaged well on my land, wouldn't that have been better?"
  1. What according to you would have truly benefitted Ramdas Korwa-developing the road or improving the well?
  2. ₹ 17.44 lakh were spent on developing the road. Is this cost justified?
  3. What values do you find disturbing in the above case?
