What are the Demerits of western education?
Answers
Answer:
Western education introduced in India for the first time by Britisher .They wanted to create a class “Indian in blood and colour but english in taste,in opinion,in moral and in intellect”.Real motive behind this is not to educate masses but to certain class that would act as a interpreter between government and masses. This model continued even after Independence .Eg focus on IITs or big institute instead of primary level education that cover the large chunk of population that's why our literacy rate was not good but after the implementation of sarva sikhsha abhiyaan scheme literacy rate showed improvement because it cover the masses and primary level education.
One more drawback in western education is absence of value based education that is necessary to make just society.
