EDUCATION SYSTEM: NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT

Policymakers need to wake up to the education system crisis...

Chile again, is beleaguering the issue of inequality not only in social terms but also in terms of educational facilities, as a consequence of which the low-income families receive poor quality of education. Then there’s Malaysia which fails to deliver a transparent education system to its people, as a result of which even excellence in the Matriculation exams would not ensure admission in Public Universities. And finally, sub-Saharan Africa, where, if you enroll in school, you only have a paltry 5% chance of making it to the University levels there!

So is privatisation of education to be blamed? The answer – a thumping no! In fact, privatisation has improved the odds that children in developing do not remain uneducated. Governments in developing economies should increase the budget allocation to public education system as well... Private names are doing their bit, it’s time for the government to sacrifice their mid-day nap as well!
