EQUALITY IN EDUCATION

WHAT IS REAL EQUALITY ???
Today all we are talking about equality. Equality in gender, equality in community, equality in social status and so on... I think equality in every thing can be achieved by achieving equality in EDUCATION.
But the important thing is we have to find out the correct meaning of equality. Equality in Education can't be achieved either by increasing the reservation or canceling all the present existing reservations. It can be achieve only by providing same quality of education to all the people of India starting from elementary to higher level.
The standard of the CBSE and Matriculation schools and their syllabus are far better than the government schools, so the knowledge of the students who are coming out of CBSE or Metric is far better than the government school students. This is the real inequality in education.
In India the premier institutes are IIT's and IIM's, but only seven IIT and six IIM only there in India, so only about less than 10000 students has the opportunity to study in these institutions out of nearly 50 crores youngsters. As a result the competition is really high to crack these examinations. At this situation the students coming out of government schools are not able to face these competitions.
The solution for this problem is not giving reservation to the government school students and poor students who did not have the economic back ground to equip themselves by joining in the coaching centers. The real solution is we have to equip the students in there school itself to match with other mode students.
The Ultimate question arise is "Who will do this". Of course government have to do this by appointing a skilled and special tutors to equip the students in government schools, but as usually the politicians not really come forward to do this because they cant play the community reservation card afterward.
So we have to take responsibility. All the well technically educated people should come forward to teach and equip these students. We have to do this in part time not as a service as a duty for our country.
This blog is just a beginning; soon we will make this in action.
