President Pranab Mukherjee has voiced concerns about the
current standards of education in India, concern that comes from none of
India's schools being up to the standards of any of the top universities around
the world. The President believes that his country should improve the quality
of education and using advancing technology in order to achieve this goal
(Raise Higher Education). He also said that there should be a focus on moving
toward entrepreneurship. He stresses his belief that the future lies in being
able to create jobs as well and to employ the young minds of today's age in
order to make a difference. He firmly believes that a school from India should
rank in the top 200 universities around the world because of the talented
population and the bright minds of those currently in school. He seeks to push
for more classes that teach entrepreneurship and to keep up with growing
technology.
This is not the first country, nor will it be the last, that
is aiming to make their country better, particularly in regards to education.
However, India is different because of their reasoning. The President wants a
school to rank in the top 200 universities around the world. Other countries
want to better their country’s economy or bring about equality through the
means of education. There is also a stressing of entrepreneurship, where
students will graduate and hopefully be able to create their own businesses.
This is turn could help boost the economy, although that is not the intended
goal. India is also trying to keep up with today’s modern technology, like
others around the world, because falling behind makes it difficult for a
country to be successful. This is a country that wants to be seen as powerful through education and accomplishment.
