Education,something every living being would love to do.Millions spend, millions to get there and stand head over heels to see that their child gets the best.At least for the sake of society they want to graduate from a reputed institute and carry that Tag life long with pride.Then one starts experiencing the truth and what lies beneath the skin or facade of the so called glamour institutes is exposed.
Big names, mostly political, crowd this education industry.Government approved and so on.The syllabus being the latest, the state of the art stuff being advertised and the rush to get the admissions there is phenomenal.The life time savings are at stake, or the bank sharks are waiting in the wings to offer attractive interest rates to get you there.We fall for that trap under the name of education and then realise what we get for it.
The infrastructure most of the times is pathetic.Cramped rooms, no fans, the tables and chairs have no ergonomics under consideration ,and that is the same place where management sciences are taught.The civil construction with leaking roofs at times makes us wonder if the same people teaching civil engineering in that class would ever approve of such quality.The corridors and lighting is just not proper in terms of intensity.The lifts if available may or may not work.The canteens are subcontracted and a health disaster.The add on monies that follow for trips and uniform and the works keep making a larger hole in your pocket.The parking stands are cluttered with 2 and 4 wheeled latest models given to their children by the rich parents.The books required and recommended based on the college management kickbacks are never available in the market.The professors are more drawn towards pleasing their superiors and outdoing their colleagues in the tussle for promotions than teach students.The students on the other hand trying to grapple at various ends start accepting the way of life and make their own way with minimum or sometimes no guidance.Big names, annual functions, overseas trips etc are money making machines for the institutes and if only they gave basic proper infrastructure and well qualified professors who have academic and practical views and experience the next gen will have a better perspective of life than blow the hard money of their parents the way it is today.No doubt people go to get them selves educated abroad.
Hope we master the art of education and churn out grads, post grads and doctors who can sense the health of the quality of education for future generations.
