Education in India has always assumed a larger than life role in the society. Whether it be the “Guru Gobind Dono Khadey, Kaakey Laagun Paaye…” of Rahim or the twice born doctrine in the Vedas, education has always had that spiritual connection and the business of imparting education was never considered a business at all. Perhaps out of this conceptualization only, education has always received the patronage of the taste and the wealthy through our history and was never a financial burden on the students. Whether it be the Kumaragupta founded Nalanda, or the Gangai Konda Chola Mandap mentioned in the Anaiyyavaram inscription of Rajendra Chola, or the madarassas founded by Sher Shah, the students and the teachers were always comfortably maintained out of the donations and India maintained its distinction of being one of the most sought after destinations of higher learning.

Things changed for the first time under British India where it was clearly felt that “free education would not be valued properly by the natives”, and hence should be changed. But post independence, the Indian conceptualization again took the center stage and the seats of higher learning became the temples of modern India. Nehru knew the central importance of higher education in his vision of a planned economic development and hence ensured that the doors of these temples remained open to the very best of minds – irrespective of their financial

    Plato To Plumbers Analysis

    An outsider's view upon how education has transformed people’s attitudes towards education is valuable when discussing how culture affects attitudes towards education. Paul Samuelson, the author of Why I Teach Plato to Plumbers and a professor of humanities, has noticed an interesting trend in humanity based on his students. When teaching lower socioeconomic status people with the culture that says education is is a way to “rise up the ranks”, those people became very wealthy and social such as becoming a law student at a very prestigious university. Those who tend to be in this university are usually rich but this student rose based on education. A generalized example of how views on education is affected by culture based on many stories is also essential to describe culture’s effect on education. Villagers in India, who tend to have a lower socioeconomic status, move to the city to live successfully because of the emphasis the Indian culture has on education. Because education has helped these villagers move “up the ranks”, they will emphasis it to others, demonstrating their positive attitudes towards education. Both examples show how a person with education can create positive attitudes, but somebody without education, if culture emphasizes its positive effects enough, can also have positive attitudes seen through eductions high demand in these…

    College Pressures Analysis

    Often, we find that education is suppressed, forcing people to go extreme measures in order to get even a resemblance of a basic education. The people who do receive education are often victims of peer/self-pressures as well as lack of parental support. In Indian Education by Sherman Alexie and College Pressures by William Zinsser, both author’s share their views on the starvation of education and the pressures students may face once in college.…

    Professionalism in Higher Education

    In the context of globalization, education becomes a perquisite for the supply of highly qualified and trained manpower. Education is seen not only as a key to social cohesion but also to mitigate the consequences of globalization. The fundamental requirement for global standards of education is the trained and professionally competent teachers. That a professionally competent teacher is indispensable even in the most well-equipped system of education is accepted by all. Those who teach effectively may make a progressive and productive society. On the contrary, poor teaching would lead to perpetuation of ignorance, misunderstanding, and intellectual and cultural stagnation. As it looks today, in the indian context, where there is an explosion of education enterprises, there is a great demand for good, qualified and committed teachers. The situation is also common to all the developing countries. Such good, qualified and committed teachers could not be possible if we cannot promote professionalism among teachers.…

    EducationinUSAvsBENIN

    Kautilya, an Indian philosopher, royal adviser, and professor of economics and political science very rightly underlined the importance of education, some two thousand years ago. He has highlighted the fact that education enriches people's understanding of themselves. He also strongly suggests that education is an investment in human capital, and it can have a great impact on a nation's growth and development (cite). However, the education system varies from one country to another, such as an American education and Benin education. The amount of time spent in school, the way education is funded and how testing is performed are three key differences between a Benin Education and an American education.…

    Positive Effects of Foreign Aid to India

    It is most appropriate to begin with the improvements in the sphere of education in the country. Association for India’s Development (2007) reported that with the help of American aid, the “Eureka Child”, a special organization that provides education to the poorest villages of the country, was created. Remarkable outcomes, such as the reconstruction of 7300 schools in 5 Indian districts and the implementation of innovative teaching methods, were attained by the organization. Consequently, 450,000 more children can read now and have an opportunity to be well educated. Before the 1990s educational support was diminutive and generally focused on post-secondary education, but in the period of time between 1992 and 2000s the situation has changed and the focus has transferred to primary…

    Some Aspects of Muslim Educational System in Pre-Colonial India

    ABSTRACT This paper explores some of the hitherto less known aspects of the Muslim Educational System in pre-colonial India. It examines the broad contours of this system by looking at the public attitude towards knowledge, scholars and students; the various types of institutions, and the evolution of curriculum. It also looks at the depth of Indian scholars’ engagement with ÍadÊth and other sciences. Finally, it also looks at Sufis and their attitude towards the various Islamic sciences. The paper suggests that the educational system of the period under study was organic in structure and was in tune with the needs of the individual and the society. The course of study was a good balance between the temporal and the religious. Indian ‘ulamÉ were fully engaged with the ÍadÊth sciences; and lastly, the Sufis gave great importance to all Islamic sciences. This paper suggests that the historical Muslim educational system in pre-colonial India provides valuable resources for the problems faced by modern educational systems.…

    Educational Reforms to Enhance Employment

    According to the projection of the United Nations Population Division, currently young people between ages 15-24 constitute 18 percent of world’s population at 1.1 billion and the world is very close to reach the peak of historically highest youth population (Lam, 2007). These young people, across the globe, especially in developing countries, where the population density and growth is also highest, face unprecedented challenges in their capacity to access public resources and family resources, stemmed from waves of cultural and economic globalization. Most critical issues for youth development are poverty, health practices, gender biases, education, employment, social responsibilities and good citizenship, juvenile delinquency etc. (World Youth Report, 2003).…
