  1. The educational system of a country is the representative of the scenario of a country. It affects the development in a very big way. India is a country where one can get good education. Most of the families, rich or poor, concentrate on the education of children. If the children are educated properly, they can make the future better for themselves and their families.
    There are many universities I India, where one can get good education. Universities are for the many. Most of the children belonging to middle and high class families go to universities. Famous ones are IIT, IIM, Delhi University, AIIMS etc.
    The school level is the base for our further education. One can take up any field as a career for him/her. But for getting a job, one is required to have appropriate qualification. We need to be expert in our work, irrespective of the field we pursue.
    Parents play the major role in the finance of the children’s education. Till the school level, the parents are wholly responsible for the education. After that, the rich families do not face any problem in financing further education. But the middle class families sometimes have to get loans from the banks. There are many education policies available to the people. Government plays a major role in the education of poor children. There is a rule of giving free and compulsory education to all children till 14 years. Many scholarships are given to the children good in studies. There are many programs launched by the government like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan etc.
    It is not necessary to leave your home to get an education. It depends upon the circumstances. Children living in metropolitan cities do not have to leave their homes. But some children also go abroad to get education.
    Children belonging to small towns and villages often have to leave their homes in order to get good education and then good job opportunities.
    This is not all about the education system in India. There are many more things which need to be told, as it is very vast.

  2. School is a place where a young mind enters to be educated and taught the lessons of books as well as the lessons of life. Well, talking about my school. I study at St. Mark’s Sr. Sec. Public School which is situated at New Delhi. Our school’s motto is: Loyalty, Truth and Honour. The students of our school are trained to manage curricular and co-curricular activities simultaneously. Students are groomed to become responsible leaders with a commitment to the society so that they grow up to become better citizens of the nations and be a helping hand to the entire world. Our school like all other Indian schools follows the pattern of Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) under which each student is evaluated throughout the semester on the basis of their scholastic and co-scholastic participation. In grade 11 we choose streams from the following options: Science, Commerce or Humanities and every student chooses a stream according whatever they desire to become in life. After completion of schooling we have a wide variety of job options available in every stream to every student and he/she make a career in which field they wish to.
    • If one opts for science stream, one might go for medical (to become doctors, dentist, physicians, nurse, and many more options) or non-medical (to go for mainly engineering of various types).
    • If one goes for commerce one can become Chartered Accountant, work in banks, stock broker, commercial lawyer and various occupations.
    • If one goes for humanities one can desire to pursue archaeology, sociology, psychology, teaching, interior designing, and much more.
    The options are endless and there are thousands of universities specialized in each career. After graduating, one can find many jobs in the field graduated in by the student. Many students do leave homes if their university is situated in some other state of India. The financial assistance is provided by the parents and rarely only a few students become self dependent and finance their own studies. In India, there are numerous career options available to each student and each one has the right to education and the freedom and the liberty to establish their career and become specialized in whichever sphere of education the person desires.

  3. Schooling and education are the two instruments that play a vital role in the development of a child.A child spends nearly 6 hours a day in school.My school "St Mark's Senior .Sec. Public School is one of the top ten schools amongst Delhi.My school has a great facility.It has various labs such as biology lab, physics lab,physiology lab,computer lab so that students can experience whatever they are studying.

    Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding coming from three levels: federal, state, and local. The Nalanda University was the oldest university-system of education in the world.Western education became ingrained into Indian society with the establishment of the British Raj.

    There are three stages in which education can be a attained
    PRIMARY EDUCATION which is made compulsory by the government upto the age of 14 years.
    SECONDARY EDUCATION
    HIGHER EDUCATION:India has 20 central universities, 215 state universities, 100 deemed universities, for higher studies.
    but for higher studies inspite of gud percentage good finance is also needed.
    Poor households find it difficult to support higher education as it require huge amount of money but government helps them and provides scholarship to the deserving.
    On one hand where poor people face such difficulties for wealthy and affluent families it is quite easy to send their students to abroad to attend various courses and complete their education.
