“Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding.” – Ezra Pound
The education system in India is considered to be one of the largest and in the ancient world it was most valued. The relationship between the Guru and students have been valued most in this country. The history of the education system in India dates back to the first centuries, when the young children were taught in the Gurukuls and the Guru-Shishya system was the most common means of education. After that the famous universities like Nalanda, Takshashila, Ujjain and Vikramshila came into existence and enhanced the scope for the students. The Mughal period shows us the inception of Madarasah. Now in this era modern schools and university are providing top notch and high quality education to students around the world. Online courses are even popular as they can be subscribed by people who cannot attend the full time courses due to variety of reasons.
The education system in India is divided into different stages or levels. The stages are classified as the pre-primary level, primary level, elementary education, secondary education, undergraduate level and the postgraduate level. The primary or the elementary education is the foundation, as the children are given eight years of schooling during this period. After completing the elementary education, the students get into the secondary level.
The undergraduate and postgraduate levels constitute the higher education. In this stage, a student chooses his/her most favorite subject in which he/she is intending to pursue career. The students also put on lots of efforts to be successful in this stage. They are taught the skills and knowledge needed for them to be successful while working in different professional environments, in this stage, students also get interested towards different professional courses..
The nicely segmented and well organized education system in India has been working wonderfully and producing well educated people in India, for the past several years.
