GRIM EDUCATION SCENARIO.

The recent days has been hustling with hell lot of meetings & discussions ,aiming for a greater shift in the education policies!But the policies has indeed left a particular point untouched-related to the awareness of the education system & future avenues especially in the rural areas & small towns.

The point is that, in the rural hinterlands,despite a percolating awareness,people continue to study for 20 years!!By the time they finish off their graduation,,they are bolted to blues when they realise that the world around has nothing much to offer them......Some of them fall prey to the mushrooming specialised course teaching institutes who teach them some obsolete stuffs, again of no use!!

The worse continues,some of them start to have this belief that good spoken english & decent communication skills coupled with a basic computer knowledge will secure them a good job in towns...but then they fall prey to those 'dalals'[middlemen] who extract money to their blood alluring them in hopes of getting a job!!

Pinning on the false promises,they lose their primes and with all the worldly allegations....they land up in big cities& metros totally unaware of the complex cobwebs of life!The saga still continues when they come to realise that all the learnt stuffs is of dismal use and they end up being sales-man earning on some contractual basis!!

Although,wiser ones manage to clear civil services or other government sector jobs but for the larger masses in general , ,they head to some nefarious activities making them a marginalised section who have been thrown open to the vagaries of life not by their will but the cruel intentions of life!

What an irony!!

The point is that the individual can’t be held responsible for this.For someone who has monitored those quarters closely,people still live in the wilderness unaware of the happenings of the air around!!

As usual,Goverment comes into play & any significant step has not been taken in this regard...Shedding off the Red-tapism,policymakers indeed need to hasten chalking out solutions in this regard!!Private players should also be a king-maker in this regard in order to facilitate the information to unprivileged .

Just for the sake of bridging that divide wherein deserving ones goes un noticed!!

i can't remember exactly but somebody wisely said: I never let education interfere with my learning.
