India to take 126 yrs to reach global education standards
Going by the current pace of spending and factors like shortage of quality teachers, India will take a whopping 126 years to reach standards of education on par with developed nations, a report said today. The paper by Assocham calls for "dramatic" changes in the country's education system and claims that although India has made rapid strides, the yawning gap between the standards of education is not likely to be bridged soon as the developed world has not slowed down spending on education.
It said with India spending a mere 3.83 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP) on education, the amount is not sufficient to catch up with developed economies, adding that it will take "six generations or 126 years to catch up with developed countries if we do not change our education system dramatically".
