2. Few Facts to be Considered
Fact 1: A recent NASSCoM-McKinsey study showed that only one out of Ten Indian
students with degrees in humanities & one out of four engineering graduates are
employable.
Fact 2: A study by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council showed that
90 per cent of the colleges & 70 per cent of the universities that the council graded
were of middling or poor quality.
Fact 3: On an average most Indian universities revise their curricula only once in
five to 10 years but even then they get defeated in both letter and spirit.
Fact 4: Indian students now spend $7 billion to go abroad and study in foreign
universities because of the poor quality of education at home. Yet the government
drags it feet over permitting foreign universities to set up shop in India. Where in
same cost we can successfully implement and run around 10 more IITs.
Fact 5: The quality of school education hasn’t improved.
A recent study found that in rural north India on an average
day, there is no teaching activity in about half of the primary
schools.
