The real tragedy is that-

In 2011:less than 50,000 found admissions in excellent

science, engineering and medical institutes and

colleges in India.

And a study estimate that 80,000-1,00,000 leave to

study abroad for quality education.

Thus, at best, only 100,000 -- 150,000 of the 25 million

children born every year get quality higher education.

The students prefer to study abroad

because-

overseas schools provide a more flexible

learning environment and pay more

attention to students' soft skills such as

decision-making, initiative, leadership,

teamwork and sociability, which are often

missing in Indian institutions.

So

A fair examination and peer review system

at all levels

The government, policy makers and the

public at large must make it their highestpriority to provide better schools (and

health care)for all, especially for those who

are talented but cannot afford private

education.
