Educating INDIA is it a mammoth task ?
In fact its not and its just a decision away by the Government .
This year IIT conducted its Joint Entrance Exam called IITJEE on 11th April 2010. About 4.72 lakh engineering aspirants took the IITJEE exam for mere 10000 seats in the India's most premiere engineering colleges.
Its very sad to think about the future of 4.62 lakh remaining IIT aspirant, can't we create seats for all of them ?
They are eligible as well as capable to undergo the course and I do not know about the financial capability of them as we are aware that its not possible for a middle class to educate there kids without loan or scholarships.
All kids dreams of becoming noble things in their life like teachers, doctors, engineers, scientist, businessman etc. You won't find any kids dreaming of becoming a drug trafficker or criminal. Its just we have not provided them with opportunity to get educated.
Can't we spend our resource and money in education instead of spending in expensive defense procurements which are never to be used and get old and discarded every often ?
In my opinion, even though if we behave and work like we are since independence to till date a simple decision can change the country's fortune without any cost on the Government. I am telling this because we feel that we are not able to change the mind of our politicians and bureaucrats.
Let there be only 10000 seats in the colleges all over India for IIT, if we think to double it, it will attract big investments in infrastructure and nobody is allowed to do it for business as education is not for profit in India and the Government does not have enough funds all the time.
The other simple way out is to allow all aspiring 4.72 lakh students in any University of their choice in their area to get enrolled, let only 10000 get a college.
Here the University should guarantee their enrollment and collect fees to conduct exams only and no matter the student study in college, coaching class, private tutor, self study. The emphasis should be to clear all those theory and practical exams conducted strictly by the University. This means those student who passes the exams are promoted to the next level without bothering where he studied. (Do we need to bother ? )
In this way several private tuitions and classes all over the country will come up in no time catering to the remaining 4.62 lac students. This will create opportunity to them and will create more employment as well. These classes and teachers will compete among themselves to attract more students and create quality at reasonable price. Now, the scenario will be instead of 10000 students we will have lacs of students passing each year in IIT. Do you agree ?
Instead of creating and bothering about more seats in IIT which needs Billions of rupees in investment we will be able to create a work force which will take care of entire economy in no time and that too without Government support.
Now, similarly we can do for all courses even Medicine which needs intense practicals.
Its not a mammoth task as we are made to think but "Its just a decision away".
