The reverse Pyramid
Education is of high importance to the development of any nation.The nations education system determines its knowledge and the skill level. In India education is given high priority and value.Unfortunately the system development is lacking both at macro and micro level. Emphasis is given to a lot of bookish knowledge rather than practical application based knowledge. This is generally the gap which is exposed when the person moves from education field to the job field.
The curriculum of the secondary and junior college makes it compulsory for students to learn everything.This way most of them become Jack of all trades but master of none.Students are clueless of what field they should opt and get totally confused. They end up choosing the wrong field many a times,sometimes due to trend following or due to parental or peer pressure.Instead, if the aptitude of the child is identified at secondary school level and the skills are honed, there is a higher chance that the person would be successful in his/ her career.
Another major problem is the mushrooming of post graduation courses in the country. So much so that the education system has become a reverse pyramid with no of PG schools literally being more than primary schools in India.This is not helping the cause at all, as quality of students passing out of PG is not consistent. Also it is leading to a rise in frustration among the youth who deserve a better job but are pegged back.
However things are getting better with new policies and modifications coming in and hope that the pyramid is brought back to its normal position to enhance growth and development of the nation
