Education in India

                                          Education is fundamental to human progress. It plays a prominent role in the all-round development of the individual as well as society in the country. A large number of books have been written on the importance of education. Education plays a key role in creating patriotic, disciplined, and productive manpower. Educated manpower is a precious asset for advancing the nation.

 Education in India is similar to other south Asian nations consisting of mainly 3 major

components i.e general, vocational and technical. There are 3 stages of education in India.

Primary, secondary and higher-level education.

     The Government of India lays emphasis on primary education up to the age of fourteen

years. It is also called primary education. The Government of India has also banned child

labor in order to ensure that the children do not enter unsafe working conditions. However,

both free education and the ban on child labor are difficult jobs due to prevailing economic

disparity and social conditions. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education

(RTE) Act, 2009 as well as Article 21 A, inserted in the Constitution of India through the

Constitution 86th constitutional amendment Act, 2002, became operational on 1st April 2010.

There are many schemes related to education.

3. NPEGEL program 

4. Mid-day Meal scheme 

5. Right to education act

Here are several reasons why people need education. The main reason being, we need to be

alert and aware of things that affect our daily life. It is the need of all human beings to know

about what is happening so that they can plan for the future and take any steps to counter

immediate problems and situations. Nowadays there is a vast choice of education. People can

study to become engineers, doctors, accountants, computer experts, government servants, and

many other professions.s we can see, education is very important. It is the most important

thing in this world. Education is an ongoing process as we call it. What we learn during our

childhood stays with us all life, even if we forget complicated lessons taught in schools and

colleges. Skills that we learn during our life can actually help us to stay alive. This can be

anything simple from sewing a button on our dress or taking medicines for illness. Education

makes a man be responsible and follow the rules and regulations of society. Hence they have

unique fame in the community. Also, they work thoughtfully and improves their social status.

Such qualities sometimes offer them the recognition of a good leader or respected profession.


In conclusion, the Indian education system must change for the better. It must give the

students equal opportunities to shine better in the future. We need to let go of the old and

traditional ways and enhance the teaching standards so our youth can get create a better

world. A gift of knowledge can bring us to the top of our dreams. It leads us to the right path

and gives us a chance to have a wonderful life. Education makes people capable of doing new

interesting things that can go a long way to improving human living conditions and standards.

Our education is really worth an investment. Only if you believe and work hard you can

achieve anything achieve greater numbers of students succeeding across the education system

more coordinated social support is needed for some students to complement the curriculum

improvements that are required in some secondary schools. We should always remember that

getting a good education is imperative in today`s society as it is a foundation of our

successful future. Our education is really worth an investment.
