Indian Educationist

Lots have been written about the teaching system in India and much have been to that of the western countries. Its a know fact that our college curriculum have to the level of that US or European countries what we lag is how our teachers have been equibed with knowledge and experience. Is it that lack of funds that makes our professors in ill equibed with updated syllabus and negligence that they are showing to this most important field if Indians were to compete with rest of the world. There are some points that comes to my mind to enhance our education n educationists:
1) Enough should be funded to Schools and colleges and make sure its spent on the priority basis
2) Strict evaluation should be made in granting permission to open schools and Universities
3) Our School teachers and College professors should be the people who should be given good salary, to make the profession good
4) It bcoz IT companies came to give ppl good salaries, if we need good teachers in that field to teach students we need to pay them good
5) There should be very good training provided to them on a period basis
Coming to our govt colleges which even now have a good reputation, but the quality of teaching is degrading day by day. Its bcoz its loosing its good professors and the ppl who join are inexperienced and have not been given adequate salary and training. Also one of worst decisions made in recent times in Tamilnadu education system is scrapping the Professional course entrance exams, saying that students in villages can't get enough coaching as that of students in cities. Its a disaster to scrap a system that doing well and a transparent single window system. We should look only at positive ways to improve the education and not at removing a system that is so good and transparent.
In one of the recent survey points that when students of various countries were tested on their syllabus with questions that were indirect which requires som analysis, Indian students fared very poorly compared to others. Its bcoz our teaching stresses very less on the analysis aspect but its more prioritised on the exam point and memorizing things. Also to comptete and equibe ourselves for challenges of the world class industry and business, students should not only be master of the syllabus and have good marks but also have exposure to sports and stage presence and they should know the soft skill that were very important nowadays.
