Fissures in education

Abstract

This monograph is located in an uncomfortable place: at an intersection. What I mean is that the roadmap of India’s educational system is at a crossroad. It is cornered at a junction where the traffic lights all of a sudden goes off, and what we see is only the amber keep flickering. Those on four, three and two wheels are totally dismayed and do not know how to navigate, because the road traffic has gone hay way and is in total pandemonium. However, I have used ‘traffic lights’ at a junction as an analogy to explain the maze of lacunas that our system of education is facing and thus being explained in succinct ways as fissures.
