The reason and aspects of education differ from people to people. In India after the 63 years of Independence more than 40% of our children still don't have proper school hence they are illiterate. The rest 60% are literate but out of these how many have completed 12 years of schooling or how many went to colleges or had vocational training we don't have accurate data to clear the situation. Ironically 40 millions of these literates are jobless out of these 12% are Graduates or Post graduates. This is a grim picture of our education system after Independence.
The meaning of education too is different for all and depends upon our social and mental set-ups. To some education is everything and life is meaningless without it. For others it is just a medium which make them able to grab a decent job which is more economically productive or a tool for employment. The quality of education given at schools is questionable too.
It seems from our efforts since Independence that we are not very serious in our approach to educate our children otherwise the figures would have been more encouraging and something to be boost upon. Our effort particularly of Govt. seems to be a skin saving one. This is so because the picture in front of us is not very and we don't have proper mechanism to ensure 100% literacy. We often confuse literacy with education. Our training system today is making literates only who just wants to make money at any cost. We have plenty of toppers from our system but we hardly find a few who are really doing commendable works. Because we want to see our students as a money making machine only. Now education has become a commodity because education provider themselves consider this process as a business and their institution a profit booking center. Therefore we can't imagine of quality and true meaning of education which takes you closure to the GOD. How many of us actually wants to reach to the God today?
