Businesses cannot rely on the talent of their fresh intake and are forced to design expensive in-house training programs.More In India JournalIndia Journal: Our Determined ApathyIndia Journal: Objects in the MirrorIndia Journal: Hot Yoga, Cool PantsIndia Journal: Play It Again, ShyamIndia Journal: The Case of Unmukt Chand What we need to realize is that it is impossible to produce high-quality graduates who are capable of competing globally, not just in the Indian economy, without sturdy foundations at school. We need a paradigm shift in how we view education in the first place, and focus on building it from the bottom up – not the other way round.The most important piece of the Indian education puzzle is a change in mindset. This, finally, will be the most important lever in reforming the system and creating sustainable change. How do we view education, http://www.cheaptomsshoessalei.com - toms outlet ? What should we expect from it – at school and, later, at university? These are questions which are inevitably fuzzy but which will require serious thought and introspection – not just among ordinary citizens, http://www.cheaptomsshoessalei.com - cheaptomsshoessalei.com , but among politicians and bureaucrats as well.Make no mistake: we are in the midst of a severe education crisis. And it is for this reason that we need to be talking about the subject more and encouraging debate. Because let us be sure that, without a significant change in mindset, education reform is a non-starter and the “demographic dividend” will just remain a fancy term confined to political journals.
