The Indian educational scenario is full of flaws. While it is still struggling with quantity issues, the literacy rate being less than 65%; it also suffers with quality issues. It is never enough to be barely literate. Education is much more than literacy. An overlooked factor that highly contributes to the spurt in the lack of quality is the social mindset which instigates a person to study certain subjects that support jobs in the west owned multi-national companies. As a result, there is immense amount of competition in the areas of science and commerce while other subjects like arts and social studies are ignored. This encourages the formation of educational institutions and universities with low standards to meet the large demand of professional courses. These universities end up being just degree awarding bodies.
The students also end up in a confused state of mind who do not know what they want to do in life. So they flow with the wave and become a part of it. Many of them land up with less than reputable jobs.
One more sector which is taking a severe hit because of this is the agricultural sector. In the years after the independence, the country of farmers gradually changed its priorities to industrialization and development of the service sector. This is good for the development of the nation but not on the expense of the farm sector, which is falling into complete negation.
There are no takers for farming anymore, a sector which has a potential for good employment opportunities in both research and production. More and more lands are being wasted because of lack of support to farmers for modern farming techniques. The nation will be facing severe food shortage if this continues.


While the government fights its endless fight through corrupt channels to bring literacy to all Indians, even among the literate there are only a handful who receive quality education.
It can only be changed by changing the mindset of the society and bringing awareness that there are more careers to this world than just doctors, engineers and MBAs. Only then will there be achieved the dream of quality education to all in all the streams.
