Major Challenges of Education System in India

1

• Major challenges of Education System in India
• The government's education expenditure as a
  percentage of GDP has never ever risen above 4.3
  of GDP, despite the target of 6 having
  been set as far back as 1968 by the
  Kothari Commission.
• The country?s education system turns out
  millions of graduates every year but the
  key challenges before the Government are
• Improving access and quality at all levels of
  education
• Increasing funding in higher education
• Improving Infrastructure
• Improving Management
• Improving literacy rates
• Universalization of elementary education
• Despite efforts to include all sections of
  the population into the Indian education
  system, through various programmes and
  schemes, large numbers of young people are
  still without schooling. It is true that
  enrollment in primary education has increased (at
  least 35 million) but as many as 60 millions of
  children under the age group 614 years are still
  far from school. One of the major problems is
  the non availability of schools within a
  reasonable distance. Many remote areas of
  the country have no educational institute
  at all. This difficulty should be overcome
  to improve the education system of the country.
• Improving the quality of education is another
  challenge before the government to reach at the
  target. The quality should get international
  recognition in terms of effectiveness of
  teaching, attainment level of the students,
  availability of adequate teachers etc.
• Other challenges are inadequate school
  infrastructure, high teacher-student
  absenteeism, large number of teacher vacancies,
  poor quality of education and inadequate funds.
