Higher education in India: Does the quality match rising expectations?
Universities in US, UK or Europe & even China fare much better than Indian in world ranking index
Every
year we see the beaming (and super excited) face of a 17-year-old Class XII
topper flitting briefly across our TV screens and newspapers – this year it was
Raksha Gopal, a young teenager from Noida who topped the examination with 99.6
percent.
The
topper lists for the last few years have been dominated by girls and this year
was no different - three out of the top 4 students are girls and nationally
girls performed better than boys by 9.5 percent - I make a point to mention
this because in a country plagued by continuing female infanticide and gender
inequality any rise in female education must be celebrated.
All
through March & April, over 10 lakh students sat for their XII Board exams
(that’s just the CBSE number!). Twelve years of education and learning
culminated with a set of exam papers – their future resting on how they
performed!
