The education system of a realm explicates the art of living of the people. While the strength of the system purely depends on the ‘curriculum’ of which being stand in the ancient times as ‘Gurukulam’. In the recent calculations of HDI, unemployment, poverty and civilization, the education is an eternal index which ultimately bounded to curriculum frame work from the top to toe of the system. Along this, education is being treated economically as merit good of which inherently explore the ability and affordability for the concord lives. The education facilitation in India is mainly run by three tier viz. government, aided and private organized.

Along, the percentage of vocational education in India is at a meager of 5 per cent whereas the corresponding number for South Korea is 95 per cent is countable. In India, Education Cess had been charged in addition to direct and indirect tax to inflate education facilities has not given yield. Besides, gender sensitive curricula would be developed at all levels of education in order to address sex stereotyping as one of the causes of gender discrimination.
