Government education has failed to give a good quality of education. The education received from government schools is hugely insufficient. This is also because of the lack of teachers and the lack of proper checks on them, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, urban areas have a much higher literacy rate than rural areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/issues-and-challenges-in-indian-education\/#Infrastructure_and_cost_of_educational_institution_in_India\" >Infrastructure and cost of educational institution in India<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/issues-and-challenges-in-indian-education\/#11_Issues_and_Challenges_of_Indian_Education\" >11 Issues and Challenges of Indian Education<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saralstudy.com\/blog\/issues-and-challenges-in-indian-education\/#1_Lack_of_money\" >1.

Better facilities must be given to students in \u00ad\u00ad academic, sports, cultural, technical, media, arts, music, religious, social, and political areas which would aid them in discovering their areas of interest.

Above 37% of the Indian population is living below the poverty line. And they cannot afford education even at a primary level. India is a country of morals and beliefs, people are still traditionalistic and apprehended modern education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The performance of the workers depends on several important factors like health and nutrition, education and training, etc. These are regarded as significant determinants of quality of life.

Lack of money<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The absence of sufficient assets is a fundamental issue in the improvement of education. Because of poor economics, most instructive institutions need the framework, science gear and libraries, and so on. Because of this, the desired outcomes can&#8217;t be achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year there is a separate budget for the Education sector but it needs to be well directed through the appropriate pipeline so that it reaches every sector, where it&#8217;s needed the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Costly_higher_education\"><\/span>2.

The expense structure of specific and able institutions. Privatization of advanced education has helped the development of benefit greedy business people. Now advanced education is a much expensive undertaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Neglect_of_Indian_languages\"><\/span>3. Neglect of Indian languages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The medium of teaching especially is English because of the focus on education in English, students are not developing foundational literacy and numerical skills. And then they are piled on with more material in English and as a result, kids mainly from government schools and poorer backgrounds were suffering a lot because of this. Standard distributions are not accessible in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gov.in\/sites\/upload_files\/mhrd\/files\/upload_document\/languagebr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">native Indian languages<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_No_practical_knowledge\"><\/span>4.

When these students pass the exam, they forget all the things they have studied due to a lack of practical experience.\u00a0 In India, parents and teachers expect their students to score high in the exam rather than getting quality knowledge. And education becomes a rat race.\u00a0 Practical knowledge and skill-based education are still very far away from scholars who are studying in schools, colleges, and universities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_problem_of_brain_drain\"><\/span>5.

They need to travel to another country to look for employment. So our nation is denied good ability. This wonder is called &#8216;Brain Drain&#8217;. Because of that, we lost so many talents that could be utilized in our nation for the betterment of education as well as the overall development of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Cast_reservation_and_paid_seat\"><\/span>6.

The education system should give equal chance to all students irrespective of their caste and creed.\u00a0 In India, the child of a good rich family gets a good education just because of ample money whereas the child of a poor family hardly gets a primary education.\u00a0 The government data disclose the better reality that only 1 child out of 7 that takes birth in India goes to school. That problem should be conveyed into notice as soon as possible and do some severe work to change the circumstances as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[lasso rel=&#8221;amazon&#8221; id=&#8221;5494&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Mass_illiteracy\"><\/span>7.

Even now most of the individuals stay uneducated. In India, the quantity of illiterate individuals is approximately 33 percent of the aggregate uneducated people.

Wastage of resources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our education system depends on General Education. The dropout percentage is high in the essential and auxiliary dimensions. The huge majority of the understudies in the 7-14 age group leave the school before completing their studies. It implies the wastage of financial and Human Resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_General_education_structure\"><\/span>9. General education structure:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our education structure is of General Education in nature. The advancement of specialized and professional education is very unacceptable. So our way of instruction is ineffective. Hence the number of educated jobless people is growing by each day. This has changed into a prominent concern for the Government.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Problems_of_primary_education\"><\/span>10. Problems of primary education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our primary education is performed with an extreme number of issues. A huge number of primary schools have no structures, basic facilities like drinking water, furniture and study materials, urinals and power, and many more. Large quantities of grade schools are single educator schools and many schools are even without teachers. So the drop rate is high and a basis for concern. We can say that there is a quantitative extension of training but in subjective improvement, we are still falling behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Outdated_syllabus\"><\/span>11.

Further, poor management in these schools is also another major problem as these school management committees are barely functional.

Besides the lack of skilled teachers, they are also burdened with a non-academic workload which diverges their focus from teaching. Thus, according to a study by the National Institute of Education Planning and Administration (NIEPA) the teachers only spend around 19per percent of their time in teaching while their rest of the time is filled mostly on non-teaching administrative work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Closure_of_Schools\"><\/span>5. Closure of Schools<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Due to the low strength of students and lack of teachers many government schools are closed.
