CORRUPTION IN INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
India is a country where education is considered as scared. It is in India were all religion has its own belief in education. As India is a multicultural country with a number of religion present and number of languages spoken education is given importance in every religion. In ancient India informal education was given by sadhus, saints, maulvis, popes, fathers, and the most important place from where one still gets informal education is from home but this education was mostly and purely religious. The believers of Hindu religion called it Vidya. It was named the goddess Vidya as she was a goddess of education. The believers of Muslim religion called it Islam as Islam for them was learning and understanding their religion.
As India moved forward from ancient period and reached the modern period formal education started becoming more important. Formal education was started so that people learn common things about the world and stay united because the same thing could not take place in only taking informal education. Formal education was not only started so that the world stays united but also people become knowledgeable. Formal education helped India to progress as it enlightened the people and improve the standard of living. It also helped in invention of new things and made life much easier. Formal education rises not only in cities but also in villages. India has given birth to many scholars which took the country India to a different height in the world. Primary Education also had been made compulsory. Education is free of cost up to a certain grade for girls as girls help their families grow which will lead to a successful and bright future.
Many schools, colleges, universities, etc have been started so that no one is deprived of education. Formal education has become a must. But is the formal education still works the same way as it was started during the British rule. Is the education still on the same level as it was started by Mahatma Phule. Although the quality of education has increased, the system has started getting bad. Indian religion has always considered education as sacred, but does the sacredness still exist? All in India citizen has the right to education but is that norm of Indian democracy actually practised? Does India treats all students equal and gives them equal education? Is the Indian education system corrupted? Let’s find the answer to these questions.
The TOI report
MBBS seats sold for between Rs 12 lakh and Rs 40 lakh by two private colleges in Chennai barely exposes the tip of the iceberg. The scam gets bigger, more brazen as medical graduates embark on specializations that are necessary for a successful career. The price this year for a post-graduate seat in radiology in most leading private colleges across the country is Rs 2 crore while in cardiology, gynaecology and orthopaedics are priced around Rs 1.5 crore
This is an example of clear corruption in Indian Education System.
Middle caste students and poor students who have brains can never get into these colleges although they have the ability to perform. Marks, grades, percentages hardly matters to these institutions. Is this the sacredness these medical colleges are showing?
Other educational institutions like schools and colleges also have started taking bribes on the name of donation which costs up to 10 to 15 lakhs. Where do the middle class people go for educating their child? The Indian democracy says Every Citizen Have a Right to Education. But this is not practised. The education system is not directly depriving the child from taking education but indirectly it is saying that marks and intelligence have no value in front of money today.
There is no need of Entrance Test in India. But this is another way of getting money. This system has also started in India to a very large extent. Making money is very famous through entrance exams. Just pay Lakhs and crores of rupees for the entrance exam in different fields like science, MBA, and many other major degrees is a must. All corrupt educational institutes have started making money through this source also. Some private educational companies in India has started a business of entrance exams. Not only these companies but also the educational institutes earns crores of hard money. Educational institutes enjoy the money which they have earned on the name of entrance exams.
business school WLCI offers programs in Management, Fashion, Mass Communication, Graphic Designing & Executive courses for working professionals across its 25 locations in the subcontinent.
This corrupted way of earning money leads some of the students who cannot pays the money no where. Talented middle class or poor people try to take loans which again creates a problem for them. Some who do not find a way out of this problem often ends their life. The suicide rates have increases every year of students who cannot get into their desired colleges.
