A Major Change in School Education

Abstract

The system of Education which we inherited while attaining our independence, had hardly any relevance to the needs of the life situation then prevailing in the country. With the passage of time, the educational system continued to drift away from the realities of life. At the same time there was a growing all round realisation of the deficiencies of the system. No society, particularly one like ours, which is passing through an extremely crucial but equally important phase of economic development, can allow such a system to continue. Luckily, the country has designed and accepted a replacement for the out-moded system and is currently engaged in the implementation of the new system commonly known as the 10 + 2 + 3 pattern.
