The
field of education in India has been lacking for many years. The slow movement from
a traditional-agriculture culture to a modern-industrial culture caused the gap
in education between socioeconomic classes. The streets now overflow with the
uneducated, and the government annually drops the poverty line to make India
seemingly progressive. However, the poverty barely changes and must be
addressed. One way the government can improve poverty and lessen the gap
between socioeconomic classes is to improve the knowledge of India’s citizens.
On
Tuesday the 9th of April, India’s president declared to improve the
of the education system of the country. Pranab Mukherjee (president) stated
that the quality, accessibility, and affordability are the three criterions
required to further education. Mukherjee’s overall focus for India is to
strengthen technology by improving innovation through better education.
The
strategy that Mukherjee discussed was to introduce well-educated professors worldwide
into India’s education system as well as to have current professors refresh
their area of study. In order for the strategy to be effective, the government
will have to pump money into the education sector. As a result, the amount
earned by professors will increase: an incentive for people to teach in India. If
the number of teachers increases and the education of current teachers improves,
then the supply of professors in the education increases. As a result the
quantity of people being educated will increased and the prices for education
will decrease as the number of professors increase.
As
of now, Mukherjee’s plan is fresh and requires much involvement. Only time will
tell how the government will go about to improve the education system.
