Education?
<>Education
is a subject that is the most talked about in India, but least looked
into by policy makers. The only time when changes take place is when it
is
(a)
politically motivated (inspired by megalomania -- remember the chapters
on Laloo Prasad Yadav?), or religion, or political
indoctrination;
(b)
motivated by greed. That is why India has become host to medical
and engineering colleges without teachers or facilities or attendant
hospitals. There are people to start schools only with the primae
motive of making money. Seldom has school permission been
withdrawn on grounds of not promoting quality education;
(c)
spurred on by serious thinking, on the basis of research and a
comprehensive
understanding of what students need. This is a ririty, but there are
signs that this breed is still alive and kicking.
<>ETL
is concerned about education, and some of its promoters' views can be
found in the articles listed here. It is also concerned with
policymaking, and the generation of wealth. The latter is the
most important contributor to social wellbeing, and the latter to
economic development.
