Our systems are woefully inadequate to address the aspirations of our youth. Worse, we have foisted our failure onto them by linking this inadequate supply with the dubious categorisation of "merit"
This was a really engaging read! What is astonishing that this is the state of tertiary education which has had the most investment since Nehru. It doesn’t even address that India has appalling foundational literacy and numeracy scores - which itself erodes children’s basic learning capabilities that make them further incapable of “competing” when applying for colleges
Thank you. The centralisation, leaks etc are themselves an outcome of the failure of the State to provide quality school education; else students could be admitted to most higher ed institutions on the basis of their school performance
