Question

Given the standing of some of its institutions for higher learning, the IIT's and IIM's, India is a potential 'knowledge power'. Realising the potential, however, is not going to be easy. The impressive strides made by Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan notwithstanding, universal access to quality education "a minimum necessary condition for any progress towards making India a knowledge society", as the 2006 report of the National Knowledge Commission puts it- remain a distant goal.
There is as yet no proper and effective legislation at the national level to affirm the right to education, a fundamental right under the Constitution. The number of school buildings for elementary and secondary education falls far short of requirements and so does the number of qualified teachers. The pressure on government budgets, which forces government to hire teachers on contract paying a pittance of a salary, is playing havoc with quality. While the incursion of the private sector in the field is providing some competition, mechanisms to enforce the required standards are lacking.
Note that there are no social standards or standards enforcing agencies. We have the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) to bring out textbooks in various subjects for school education. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducts examinations for school affiliated to it across the country. The states too have their school boards to conduct exams and enforce minimum standards. However, the standards vary widely. In their anxiety to show spectacular performance, some states are overly lenient in marking answer papers.
Going by the numbers of students securing 90 % or more in their higher secondary exam, it would appear India is on the brink of knowledge revolution. The numbers are so many that the cut-off point for admissions to top colleges is now above 90 per cent. However, admissions to IIT's and medical colleges are not based on CBSE or state board exam results. Leading undergraduate colleges offering non-professional degree courses hold their own admission tests. Obviously, higher secondary school results are not taken to be a reliable index of the quality of a student's learning capability or potential.
While scoring high marks or even 100 out of 100 may not be out of a good student's reach in subjects like Mathematics or Physics, it is difficult to figure out of the quality of answers that fetch 90 per cent marks in Economics or English. The standards applied by senior secondary boards like CBSE seem to have been diluted to the point that they leave a big gap between what students learn at school and what they have to face on entering institutions of higher learning.
