ARKS Srinivas (CEO, VistaMind Education) shares that true potential of India can only be realised with education opportunities to the 600 million youth

Only 15 per cent of the population reaches high school and out of those, only 7 per cent actually graduate. Add to this the lament that out of these wonderful graduates (engineers and non-engineers), only about 10 per cent are really employable.

Infrastructure and teaching aids:

Infrastructure for education can be broadly divided into: physical infrastructure, study material and teaching aids.

While we have 6,00,000 villages inhabited by the 600 million young population (1000 students per village on an average!), there are not many schools to reach out to them. Most of the institutions are concentrated in the tier I and tier II cities. Even today, many villages are deprived of elementary schools.

The second important aspect of learning (apart from teachers), that of study material, is acutely lacking. While the government has made provisions for the midday meals, the same cannot be said about the availability of the textbooks and notebooks for studying. Add to this, there are no aids for the teachers to explain some fundamental concepts of space and time pictorially or through simulation (with the help of computers). Hence, the entire learning happens through a wasted emphasis on rote learning. Click here to read more..
