I may not be able to completely justify my title but the theme of my blog is straightforward, does education today is limited to amount of money your bank account has? There was a time when higher education was a symbol of hard work, diligence, I cannot say it's completely ruled out but yes it has reduced significantly.
Today the quality of education is decided by less of capability and more by the bank balance, let it be an admission in Kindergarten school or be it an admission in DPS RK Puram. There are plethora of educational institutes today where any one could go and walk back with a degree, provided they have a fat balance. We Indians are considered as the best minds of the world, or may be one of the best, if this is what makes a best mind I guess the voice would no longer be worth listening.
First take the example of Engineering Institutes, UPTU has more than 1000 colleges providing educations to more than lakhs of student out which few lakhs graduate every year, there was time when a person with B.Tech was admired by the whole society, now its just a degree, today colleges have huge fees for their seats, they use that money to open a new department in the University so that they can earn more money. I have been a part of Private University and I have seen such thing there, being a govt. owned body still they have high fees for general candidates and provide a nominal facility to their students.
Coming to medical institutes, today private colleges are now selling their seats for the sake of raising money, papers are leaked out before the examinations so that fat account holders can get their seats reserved. Today the need is to make a vigilant body to make a tight scrutiny over such institutes to check their credibility, otherwise Indian talent would be just on the basis of money not on the basis of hard work.
Don't just read this blog but discuss it, it may ignite the fire of long dormant volcano, and may be the future of our generation could be more prosperous.
