The Education Crisis of Karnataka

  • In Karnataka more than 45 Lakh rural students go to the available 20155 Govt Higher Primary Schools & 4528 Govt High Schools which is accessible to them.
  • ASER survey of Karnataka says Less than 40% of students of class 7 & 8 are able to read simple English sentence or solve a basic arithmetic problem.
  • More than 2.5 Lakh student drop out of Education between Class-7 to Class-10
  • With 28.8% GER in higher education, Karnataka ranked lowly 18th among all the states and the Union Territories.

EducationCrisis

The rural students spend twelve years of formal education learning passively. There don’t get opportunities for presentations, group work, discussions, experimentation or hands-on learning. The are only encouraged to memorize the content of the notes dictated in their classrooms and not to think beyond syllabus. In science classes formulas are memorized but never applied to the real world or through experiments, in English courses grammar rules are drilled but speaking is never encouraged.

As a result of this system of passive knowledge the students emerge without the necessary critical thinking ability, analytical skills or communication skills necessary to succeed in the real world.
