Warm Greetings of the Day Ladies and Gentlemen!
As you all know we have gathered today to discuss our Indian Education System and what all prospects it holds for our students and of course also for the students flying in from abroad. If we trace its roots, we will realize that our modern education system is not actually our own, but has been taken from the west. The Indian modern-day education in India came with the Britishers who were accompanied with the Christian missionaries. What these Christian missionaries did was that they founded various schools for imparting secular education to the Indian natives and also to draw them towards Christianity.
If we were to go back to the ancient history of the Indian education system, we would realize that it was founded based on the gurukula system wherein the emphasis was laid down on the direct relationship between the guru or what we call in modern times the teacher and his sisya or pupil. This form of education system laid stress on living an austere life and the study revolved around gaining the knowledge of Vedic literature. It was largely dedicated to the teaching of philosophy, theology and philology. It was an all-inclusive education system branching out from spirituality and philosophy to the study of the art of war and stressing on good moral values and a healthy lifestyle.
Education was imparted on the basis of Varna. Both the women folk and sudras were deprived of the education system and vocational courses, if any, were meant for the old members of the community and families. During the medieval period, the ‘madarsa’ system prevailed which much dominated the educational system at that time. The schools were largely madarsas and pathshalas, which were functional, under the supervision of the maulvis, chiefly for the Muslim students and under the supervision of the Brahmin priests for Hindu students respectively.
There was seriously no change observed in the thinking of the people towards education during that period mainly because both the Hindus and the Muslims were still holding on to their traditional outlook and laid emphasis on philosophical as well as religious education instead of secular education.
However, we should also not forget that it’s only post 17th century that secular education gained a huge impetus in Western Europe and it was not until 19th century that the idea of scientific knowledge came to the forefront.
Whatever the case is, the present education system in India is still not fortified enough to provide its youth with enough job opportunities. The education system is still confined to its classroom teaching and is not well equipped to offer its students a great practical learning experience so much so that when they complete their education they are able to earn their livelihood without facing any obstacles. The education system needs to remain grounded to reality and concomitant with the present market demand so that the students can become revenue generators and not a liability on their immediate family. This is all from my side.
Thank You!
I – Memon Mahin– am your host for today and before we begin discussing about Indian Education System please allow me to welcome our esteemed guest, Mr. ………., for gracing our ceremony with his presence. Ladies and gentleman, for those of you who don’t know he is the head of the education department in Delhi University. Words will fall short of their meaning if I happen to describe his achievements in the field of education, but it cannot go without a special mention that he is constantly striving to make our Indian Education System free from all flaws and accessible to all its young, talented pool of students.
We have not assembled today to praise our Indian Education System because it is still too far from being the best education provider globally. Therefore, let us discuss the main concerns related with our current education system, in what ways we can overcome them so that our students can derive the maximum benefit out of it and it can be given its due value both on national as well as international platform.
