My suggestions on National Education Policy 2016
It is really admirable that the Government has taken a step to get the feedback and suggestions of the common man in such a great step taken for the National Education Policy.
A considerable number of citizens including me is dreaming for a national syllabus for the students up the Higher secondary level. At same time the universities can have their own disciplines depending on the regions and necessity.
I urge the central government to take care of the following points while formulating the policy for a national Education system.
1. Syllabus shall be formulated giving importance on career guidance. Especially the scope of career shall be made to understand by the students while reaching higher secondary level.
2. The syllabus shall not encourage the differences in region religion and party politics. The School campus shall be free from political parties and their students unions.
3. The syllabus shall consist of the education of the constitution of India at the appropriate level.
4. The government shall take appropriate decisions to sponsor students from other countries with the participation of the governments of such countries, which will bring the cultural relationship of the other countries.
5. The School and college fees shall have to be fixed and enforced by the government strictly in Government, Government Aided, and Private Unaided schools throughout India.
6. The salary for teachers also has to be fixed and enforced by the government for the Government, Government Aided, and Private Unaided schools.
7. It is proved in India that the Private sector school can do much better than the Government Schools. Government shall take appropriate action to bring up the Government schools, encourage sponsorship of government school by private institutions, and fix the fees in the private schools, in total to make education (not free!) affordable for all in India.
8. Bring all admissions from 1st standard to a single window and rationalize the commercial activities of education.
9. Right to Education act is being enforced throughout India. But how many schools are exempted in the country. Government shall conduct a study about the implementation and governance of the same.
I personally thank the government for providing the citizens to give their views and suggestions. These process were there earlier also but for name sake.
