Kapil Sibal Education Reforms
Everyone of you MUST have heard about Kapil Sibal. If you don’t know anything about him than read the following Article.
Kapil Sibal wants to change and shape the Education Industry of India. Than why he wants to do So? Well, Read here the few facts about the Indian Education Industry as an Investor’s Eye.
Indian Education Industry – Investor’s Eye -
“India has emerged as one of the world's largest consumer of education services with a target population of more than 445 million (between age group of 5-24 years)
which is expected to increase to approximately 486 million by 2025.
This figure is far exceeding than than the combined target population of China (354 million) & USA (91 million) in the same year.
Total Private & Public Expenditure behind Education Services in India is 100 billion US $ per annum.
And this expenditure is growing at a CAGR (Compounded annual Growth Rate) of 10.38% since 1994.”
Thus, India is world’s largest Education Industry. And that’s why the Universities, Governments & Investors from all around the world are standing in queue with literally billions of dollars to invest in education industry of India. And that’s why to attract these Investors, the Government of India now wants to clean the unfair practices in the Education Industry of India and improve the quality of Education Standard of India.
Kapil Sibal is planning to reform the Education System of India ob “Yashpal Committee” Recommendations. Reforms suggest learning Hindi by all and moots for abolition of X’ th standard Board Examinations.
At the outset the picture drawn by our poet intellect Kapil Sibal is very rosy to the elite section of the society and they try to project that the reforms are beneficial to all. But Kapil Sibal has provided enough opportunity in his proposed reforms for us to explore whether his ideas are applicable to poor, downtrodden and illiterate section of Indian population . We regret to say that the reforms proposal falls short of the requirement of this great country. Our minister is feeding only pop corn to an elephant which is starving for more than six decades.
Mr Sibal in a recent educational conference also stated that Hindi being the national language should be taught in all schools in the country and this was the right time to take steps in this direction.
This is ridiculous, proposing Hindi to the rest of India while most of the illiterates are hailing from Hindi belt where the poor people do not know even how to read and write Hindi which is their mother tongue. Why there is no plan to improve the literacy rate of Hindi belt on par with the states of South India ? And we want to know why this is the right time to impose Hindi? Is it because the Dravidian parties of Tamil Nadu have become tooth less as demonstrated in Ealem Tamil issue?
In 2006 few medical college students protested in Delhi against reservation for OBCs In the institutions of higher learning. The media propagated the news as if those students were representatives of the whole nation.
At that time Kapil Sibal the Union Science and Technology Minister was in Hannover, Germany, attending a Technology Fair, said that the Govt. might not initiate any measures that could dilute India’s excellence and ability in the Global Economy. No policy initiative should be taken to dilute the level of excellence in research and development and educational institutions which would negatively impact our ability to compete in the global economy.It was for this remark, Sharad Yadav a leader advocating OBC reaservation demanded dismissal of Mr. Kapil sibal from ministry.
