WORLD - CLASS EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

If we check the assessment criteria in ou r academic institutions, we will find that getting published in foreign journals is given greater weight. The same is true for work experience gained abroad. Foreign collaborations are actively sought in India. Those who have published in foreign journals or those who have foreign degrees are supposed to be superior. Academic institutions advertise their joint programmes with institutions based in western countries. People with MBA degrees from some select institutions abroad get better salaries in Indian c ompanies. Indian scientists work all their life for getting recognition abroad. India should be able to generate its own world - class academics and researches. These people will be an inspiration to the future generation. This can happen only with improveme nt in School Education.
