Govt Admits Poor Quality of Science Education

In spite of international recognition of Indias advancements in science and technology, science at the high school level and above suffers from poor quality, admits the ministry of human resource development (HRD).

A background note prepared by the ministry says in no uncertain terms: Science education at school-level onwards suffers from lack of reasonable experimental facilities, absence of quality teachers with dedication, inadequacies in curricula and lack of flexible subject and course combinations.

Classroom demonstrations are very rare and teaching tends to be exam-oriented, which further stifles the joy of learning.
