Introduction 1 Main body 1 Conclusion 1 References 1 Introduction India is going through unprecedented demographic changes. These changes will result in substantially increased labor force in the future. The proportion of working age population 15 - 59 years is likely to increase from 58% in 2001 to more than 64% by 2021. By 2020, the average age of India will be 29 years, the youngest in the world. This “demographic dividend” gives India a huge competitive advantage as compared to other nations [1]. The government has recognized this opportunity and has taken major steps primarily to enhance the employability of the youth. While this will help in the short term but to reap long term benefits, focus should be to add value at the base of …show more content…
Demographic Dividend is therefore a “Window of opportunity” where the right kind of policies and frameworks can produce a sustained period of economic growth [3]. India is on the verge of entering into its long awaited “Window of Opportunity”. The Planning Commission had recognized this back in 2007. Accordingly, the Government of India had initiated multiple programs to skill the future workforce of the country. Almost all of these programs are focused on providing employment to the youth. While focusing on employment is necessary, more focus is needed to improve the overall employability of the future workforce. This is because statistics show that this demographic dividend will bring with it some serious challenges for India. Here are some trends [1] …show more content…
Not even a single parameter measures the learning levels in these schools [19]. c) Rote learning as a practice: The practice of memorizing information, many educational experts believe, is inadequate to develop a sense of interest in children. Lack of interest results in poor learning levels and dropouts. d) Poor teacher training: Majority of the primary school teachers not only lacks subject matter knowledge, they also are not trained with the latest techniques of imparting child education. e) No-Detention policy: The no-detention policy at the primary level ensures that students are promoted from one grade to the next without ensuring their learning levels. The very essence of schooling is negated when children are pushed from one level to the other without any guarantee of learning. All these and many others collectively contribute to the low levels of learning at the primary level. Any attempt to address the low learning outcomes amongst children should therefore be rooted on addressing the above issues. Finding a
Whatever the reasons of students’ learning difficulties are, one thing is sure: the solution proposed by Singleton would only make their struggle harder. In this particular case, failing students and “keeping them at one level until they did in time, one way or another, learn the material,” as suggested by Singleton, could only bring positive effects if it went hand-in-hand with the development of a comprehensive learning support
The Growing Divide The French and Indian war started a growing divide between Britain and its the American colonies. During the war, the differences between their political and economical beliefs as well as the differences between their legal opinions and values began to show as the growing patriotism and independence movement started to spread across the country. Again, the political views of the colonists and their ideas of what was legal and who was in control changed.
In his article “Plan B: Skip college” the author Jacques Steinberg writes a creative piece informing his audience that college isn’t as mandatory as it is said to be. Though he does not do so without visiting the reasons that college has proven to be good as well. He writes about the stigma that is thrust upon young adults in the united states that college is the key to success, that there should be more alternatives and what jobs actually need a four-year education degree. Steinberg clearly communicates his message while using the pulling from the right resources.
What does the image above show about segregation? It shows how the people of color got facilities of lesser value for everyday life. This picture is the best example of segregation! After segregation, the whites didn’t view people of color the same, so Jim crow laws were put into place to seperate the things people used. This picture shows how the whites were, at the time, superior while the colored where inferior.
Inappropriate actions included strict authority, force, fear and pain (The Struggle For Public Schools). Other gaps proved severe in performance of elementary students. For instance, before the education reform areas of less focus on homework and instruction, poor test scores, lower academic performances than competitors in other countries occurred (Galens). Unquestionably, children did not perform well with the youth education system in place. *The final
What kind of imagery comes to mind when the word savage its said aloud? What kind of connotation does you think drives this word? Primitive, barbarian, negligent? Because if so, it’s a perfect word that depicts what author Jonathan Kozol, in his book Savage Inequalities: Children in America’s School, is trying to portray about the United States School System. His book opens the eyes of the reader to the worse and best of what schooling in the U.S is.
The school system does not set them up for a prosperous future or prepare them for things like
In addition to that, there is a problem with the lack of necessary resource in a school. Whether this is seen in only a few schools or a lot, it is unacceptable and must be fixed. How can we expect these students to learn, work, and live on an equal playing field when they don’t even have books, while others have every resource you could ever want in a school? We have this idea of education being the panacea of world struggle, but is it really? When we have all these schools that are not fairly treated.

In many countries living in extremely poor conditions, not only is basic health an issue but also the lack of education. Although it is a necessity, “more than 72 million children of primary education age are not in school and 759 million adults are illiterate” (Rights to Education 1). The deprivation of education should be taken serious if a change is wanted. People need to become aware of how important education is and the benefit that it has.
This is the reason early interventions have a major aim of compensating for the poor and hostile learning conditions that are faced by the children in families that do not offer adequate opportunities to attain informal learning (Suggate, 2012). It is important to note here that “equality of opportunity exists where everyone is accorded the same chance to develop his or her capacities and to be acknowledged for personal accomplishments irrespective of characteristics such as gender, religion, political stance, color of the skin, or social background, that is, characteristics which are not related to their personal performance” (Burger,

So, this what i find in USA's education. In fact, the education in USA has a lot of beneficial system that attract me such as it contributes to increase in production, as boys and girls are taught to respect for productive work and the belief that they can rise in economic standing through work, effort and the desire to go where opportunities exist. USA public schools apply the best quality models in education and are role models in all educational systems in the world. I am talking here about primary and secondary schools. For example, the views about my children in USA’s school and their way of assimilation of information quickly, however they are not perfect for the English language, but that did not prevent them from understanding easily.

Where are the youth who use their knowledge to serve India, whether you live here or outside, and that will do good. But where are the youth of India who are also needed for other areas of development? Where are the young historians who are to discover the true history of India, using modern critical methods but without Western prejudices? Where are the young archaeologists who will uncover the data of India’s ancient past?
