- We know, India has the highest population of the whole wide world, where 35 million of 141 million young people between the ages 18 and 23 are enrolled in higher education .
- At the current gross enrolment ratio (GER) of 24.5 per cent in India, a whopping 106 million young people are deprived of modern college education. For context, that’s the population of Spain and Italy combined.
- So wholly seeing, why India still lags behind even though they have the highest young minds? Well, the answer could be the same as the question.
- Huge number of people take up a huge number of classes, exams, coaching classes, interviews and so on.
- When all the students are put under one roof with a single tutor, the awareness about the information gets spread around, but their skills are not developed yet.
- The student with higher memory power gets rewarded as skilled there, and others are left out as such with terms like “Average” and “Fail”.
- So, when a skilled person(candidate with higher university marks) enters into the industry which means he/she truly does not possess it, it is a misunderstanding caused in the root of the education system.
- There’s a saying, “Age can not define your maturity”. Likewise, “Grades do not define your skill ability.”
- When you really want to develop your skills, you need your own interest, and not the syllabus of schedule and exams with marks.
- There are n number of demands for work, and still n number of daily passing out students who’re in need of a job. They get unemployed due to their lack of skill because their marks are just a piece of paper and it cannot work for them.
