Essay on Higher Education in India


“There is no Substitute for Hard work and, There is no Shortcut to Success.”

Hi friends, Today I would like to share about higher education, A famous saying “Education roots are bitter, but fruits are tasty”, We know that, Higher education gives a respectable career, Every one must continue their education in order to achieve their goals. Teenagers who attend college use their extended schooling to further obtain knowledge. The primary objective of  higher education is to enhance one’s abilities for his future.

A student can learn from school in numerous ways, but liberal education is not a way to attract students into further and higher education. However, students can learn a lot more through experiences of their personal lives. Education needs are reached to obtain a higher academic level by poor students also. In poor families, who are below to the poverty line, and lower middle class families, parents are doing many sacrifices for their children higher education. Poor students are striving for Success and change their lives with Higher Education only. Let us discuss more points in our essay friends. Prepare well, Thank you.

Topic: Higher Education in India

Higher education in India is suffering out of qualitative and quantitative errors. Careers are chosen by people based on the boom to the course resulting unequal distribution of human resources to different areas and affecting their development. Inability to provide employment and technology for research causing brain drain. Inefficient left over human resources circulating their inefficiency to next generations without any change. Imitating features aroused due to globalization infecting the relation between teacher and student. Totally we lost our traditional teaching methods.

Ancient Indian education was fully fledged in all dimensions like science astronomy maths philosophy literature medicine administration etc. we have profound educationalists like arya bhatta, ramanuja, Vivekananda, kalidasa, kautilya etc. while traditional education was taught in gurukula by guru while sishya use to respect the words of guru and render his service with great love and passion. In the similar passion guru use to transfer all his knowledge which gives him character and sound mind to react according to the situation.

Later by the advent of colonial rule Indian education system suffered a lot. Colonial rulers were not interested in developing education in India as they thought it will question their existence in India. However Britishers bended at last to the pressures of social reformers and Christian missionaries and promoted English education in India. This was the initial seeds sown for the destruction of Indian traditional education. The education pattern changed and shaped towards western education. Indian social reformers of that time encouraged it based on prevailing conditions. Slowly traditional education lost its priority and western education was glorified till independence.

After independence leaders continued the British policies and methods regarding education comprising primary, middle and higher education system. Initially they concentrated and developed primary education as the time was running with little literacy rate. After 1980 they turned towards middle education and later slowly little importance to higher education.

Still surveys show that there are illiterate people; increased enrolments are not crystallized as they failed to curb dropouts. Quality of teaching is not good. A sixth class student is not able to first class English text or two digit subtractions. There is no availability of proper infrastructure and sanitation facilities. The ratio of students and teachers are no way matching. There are no regular teaching patterns in villages. With all these drawbacks the number of people reaching to the levels of higher education is thin.

Higher education in India is not up to the mark. The students coming after their education is not able to compete with this globalised world. Reasons one there are no proper structured delivery  educational institutions. Recent survey of QS shows none of our IIT's, IIM's and central universities are able to compete globally. None stood in the list of top 200 institutions in the world. Even in Asia they failed to have appreciable rank while our all time compete china its Hong Kong University stood in first place. Second faculty most of the situations people choose teaching field when they failed to achieve their desired goals.

So people lack interest in the field they are just acting as professors. In addition to this their exist an unhealthy competition between the profs and no coordination among various departments Third students are not educated about the ways to grasp content, application techniques and methods to improve concentration and skills.

Skill development is prerequisite in the present situation. Research in India is completely under plagiarism. They are not able to address the need of young skilled researchers. As students mostly prefer MBBS or engineering as their careers rest of the science subjects are under served with qualified students. In our country people normally hear about research at the time of their post graduation and they plan for research as career only in theoretical ways and not thinking about the practical knowledge. Soon as they enter into the field they will be made to sit in front of instruments worth crores and who having no knowledge will depend on the senior, fellow human being thinks about the competitive world and will not educate the junior in order to stop future competition for projects.

Over all our PhD students skill is depending upon the courtesy of seniors instead of specialized training. As a result they end up their PhD without sufficient publications and even at times no publication. By the time when you compare with their co students in another field they will be settled in all ways. At this moment student lose their passion to serve India and family pressures make them to flew to countries were they offer better scholarships and better opportunities.

After some years they become noble laurite just like 2008 chemistry venkataraman. Now our media persons cover the news saying our indigenous fellow got noble prize. They won’t stop there; they will pose a question to Nobel that when you are going to come back to India? By mistake if the noble says no as answer he will be portrayed completely saying he is not having affection towards India. By reading this every Indian feels bad about the statement. But in realty he says “when I am out after my PG this country failed me to serve a job worth 3000 and failed to trust my worth. I have roamed all over Chennai but no job? Even now you don’t know about me before this prize. Now you are inviting me to India after many years in between I have grown my family, office everything here, how can I leave all those? I have affection towards India but I cannot shift to India.” 

Whatever was done by him is right. Because there are some another category of people who came back to India on trusting our government’s policies to promote Indian research, result though having many worth publications serving as assistant professor under a HOD who not even knows how to utter a note written in English. All these are because of our political influences in granting and appointing to the professions. Now again fellow recalls his older days and takes oath to not to return back to India in life time. So students have to bare the lectures without proper preparation old Professors.

Realty is in every field we have students who are ready to work for India but policies are not making use of young brains result brain drain to foreign nations where they can fulfill their visions. At last seeds are sown and grown by India with their subsidies and offering fruits to foreign nations to enjoy.

Governments are not structuring proper policies so that those fruits can be enjoyed by India itself. With all these loopholes if still we expect good higher education in India it will certainly remains as dream. Therefore Skill development to students, proper training to professors, improving technical facilities, and employment generation only can save our education system and Indian intelligentsia.
