Worthless Degrees Are Creating An Unemployable Generation in India

The booming $117 billion Indian education industry has seen an explosion of new colleges in recent years; however, an abundance of graduates have left the system inadequately skilled to contribute to the country's current economic growth.

The education system in India is facing a number of challenges, not least of which is the lack of quality instruction and resources. Despite increased investment in education, many schools and universities are failing to deliver the skills needed to compete in a global economy.?

Despite producing some of the world's most successful business leaders, India is also home to thousands of substandard private colleges. According to interviews with students and experts conducted by Bloomberg, these schools may lack regular classes, employ inadequately trained teachers, use outdated curriculums, and provide no practical experience or job placements. This strange paradox demonstrates just how far India's education system has to go to reach its full potential.

This is leading to a growing skills gap between those who have access to quality education and those who do not. At the same time, the number of colleges and universities in India is growing rapidly. With increased competition, many colleges are focusing on quantity rather than quality, offering courses that are not necessarily relevant to the needs of employers. This is leading to a situation in which young people are graduating with qualifications that are not valued in the workplace. This is a critical issue that must be addressed. Every student must undergo training or workshop to ensure that they have the relevant skill set to face the corporate world.?

The government must invest in strengthening the quality of education in India, both at the primary and secondary levels. It should also introduce measures to ensure that colleges and universities focus on providing quality instruction and resources.

The government must take steps to ensure that employers are aware of the skills gap, so that they can better understand the qualifications of potential employees. If India is to make the most of its current economic growth, it must ensure that its citizens are equipped with the necessary skills to compete in a global economy.
