Topic Description:
There is a dire need for revolutionary changes in the India's education system, there is no doubt about that. The cut-offs at some of the top universities is over 99% if not 100%. Students are pushed to the brink to try and further their educational ambitions. Several aspects need to be addressed if we have to achieve the desired results and head in the right direction. India has one of the youngest populations in an aging world. By 2020, the median age in India will be just 28, compared to 37 in China and the US, 45 in Western Europe, and 49 in Japan. But for us to reap the benefit of this demographic dividend we need to ensure that we see an overhaul in our education system. The Finance Minister, Mr. Arun jaitley in an exclusive interview to me over the weekend, said that education will be one of the key focus areas if his government comes back to power. On this edition of the big picture we will analyse the education agenda for a new and changing India.
