Abstract

Education is one of the main keys to economic development and improvements in human welfare. As global economic competition grows sharper, education becomes an important source of competitive advantage, closely linked to economic growth, and a way for countries to attract jobs and investment. In addition, education appears to be one of the key determinants of lifetime earnings. Countries therefore frequently see raising educational attainment as a way of tackling poverty and deprivation. Article 21A says that the government is under the obligation to provide free education to all children from 6 to 14 years. And the state govt can't deny to any child on the basis of caste, creed, gender, etc. But after all these efforts, there are a group of children who are not getting the benefit of this policy. It can be due to policy or its implementation. The Indian government spends a lot of money on education but after all these steps we are not achieving the target. I am trying to write down some major problems in Indian education system and suggestion.
