The present educational system of India is an implantation of British rulers. Wood's
Dispatch of 1854 laid the foundation of present system of education in India. Before theadvent of British in India, education system was private one. With the introduction of
Wood's Dispatch known as Magna Carta of Indian education, the whole scenario
changed. The main purpose of it was to prepare Indian Clerks for running localadministration. Under it the means of school educations were the vernacular languages
while the higher education was granted in English only. British government started
giving funds to indigenous schools in need of help and thus slowly some of the schools
became government-aided.
Contemplating on the new system which was introduced Mahatma Gandhi expressed
his anguish in following words, "I say without fear of my figures being challengedsuccessfully, that today India is more illiterate than it was fifty or a hundred years ago,
and so is Burma, because the British administrators, when they came to India, instead of
taking hold of things as they were, began to root them out. They scratched the soil and began to look at the root, and left the root like that, and the beautiful tree perished. The
village schools were not good enough for the British administrator, so he came out with
his program. Every school must have so much paraphernalia, building, and so forth.
Well, there were no such schools at all. There are statistics left by a Britishadministrator which show that, in places where they have carried out a survey, ancient
schools have gone by the board, because there was no recognition for these schools, andthe schools established after the European pattern were too expensive for the people,and therefore they could not possibly overtake the thing. I defy anybody to fulfill a
program of compulsory primary education of these masses inside of a century. This
very poor country of mine is ill able to sustain such an expensive method of education.Our state would revive the old village schoolmaster and dot every village with a school
both for boys and girls. "
Today education system in India can be divided into many stages.
Pre- Primary - It consists of children of 3-5 years of age studying in nursery, lower
kindergarten and upper kindergarten. At this stage student is given knowledge aboutschool life and is taught to read and write some basic words.
Primary - It includes the age group of children of 6-11 years studying in classes from
first to fifth.
Middle - It consists of children studying in classes from sixth to eighth.
Secondary - it includes students studying in classes ninth and tenth.
Higher Secondary - Includes students studying in eleventh and twelfth classes.
Undergraduate - Here, a student goes through higher education, which is completed in
college. This course may vary according to the subject pursued by the student. For
medical student this stage is of four and a half years plus one year of compulsoryinternship, while a simple graduate degree can be attained in three years.
Postgraduate - After completing graduation a student may opt for post graduation to
further add to his qualifications.

Review of the implementation of the parameters of the policy every five years,
Strengthening the base of pyramid of Indian population for proper development of
education system in India.
National Policy of Education (1992) laid down many objectives for the development ofeducation system in India but it has not been successful in achieving all of them. It has
specified that the examination system should discourage the memorizing but it is what
is going on. The education in India seems to encourage rote learning instead ofexperimentation and questioning. There is some disparity in assessment as all the State
Boards have different standards of evaluation.
The reservation on the basis of caste and religion is also a negative point in Indian
education. Corruption is visible in the allocation of seats of institutions of higher studiesand student politics is another sore point. These are some of the issues, which need to be
worked upon.
Though there are disparities between the objectives and their implementation in
education but still education system in India has come a long way and will continue to
improve in the future.
