Education is the only way which enables you to live your life in a proper and efficient mode. To get information about any existing thing, whether in past, present or future, you have to go through the world of education. In this modern time, education system has been too modified and systematic that is easily available and accessible by all groups of people. Education should be the highest priority for children of small age. In our country, it is mandatory under “right to education” act for children of age 6 to 14 to get primary education.

Importance of education in our life:

Education provides us knowledge regarding anything and improves our life style along with physical persona and mental strength. Educated people always behave soft, humble and kind to others. Through education, we can easily handle all ups and downs, good or bad situations coming in our future life. Education expands our mental state of thinking regarding social issues like Female Feticide, Dowry System or Women Empowerment.

Education System in India:

In India, education system is operated by National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) which is responsible for all matters regarding education throughout the country and further each state has its own organization with name of State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) which decides the strategies, course, curriculum or schemes regarding education. Education is provided under two sectors public or private with two major streams which conduct their own examination in secondary (10th standard) and higher secondary (12th standard). One is Central Board of school Education (CBSE) and other is Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE). In both sectors, education is provided in (10+2+3) pattern which consist a systematic way of getting education. Here 10 years of education consist primary and secondary education with all subjects except difference in subject of mother tongue, 2 years for getting higher secondary education (with either arts or science subjects) and 3 years for bachelor degree in any stream of arts, science or commerce. After graduation students are advised to do master degree as per qualification, interest or capability. Thus we can say that majorly four levels of education are required for completion of education process, these are:

• Primary Education
• Secondary Education
• Higher Secondary Education
• Professional Education

Primary Education:

In India, primary education (also can be referred as elementary education) has been made compulsory for small age children of age 6 to 14 years, and this was announced by government under act of “right to education act” which was made to recover the poor situation of children in India who are captivated in social crime of child labour, child abuse or child exploitation. In India, level of primary education in rural areas is not so well as compared to urban areas. Due to lack of infrastructure and other facilities in government running schools, ratio of number of teachers and number of students is far differ.

In recent past years, government has majorly focused on primary education throughout the country. A program, District Education Revitalisation Program (DERP), was launched by central government to enhance the quality of primary education across the country. And the better result has also been viewed in terms of increased literacy rate in both urban and rural areas of country.

Secondary Education:

After primary education, students are required to study secondary education which is counted till class 10th and further followed by higher secondary education means class 11th and 12th. This stage of learning system prove as a turning point for the academic career of a student as marks obtained in secondary class indicate the future stream as professional career for students.

Higher secondary education:

Higher secondary education comes after secondary education means class 11th and 12th in which student have to select their interesting subjects as future academic area.

Professional Education:

The last category is professional education consist various distinguished courses of different time period like it may be graduation or bachelor degree in various streams, diploma courses, Master degree, PhD (research and training) or teaching education.

Above was the pattern of education system in India that is decided by higher authority of education department.

Literacy rate in India:

Literacy rate is the amount in percentage which shows the level of education in a particular area. 64.9% literacy is found in India according to survey of 2011 in which male literacy is 75.3% and female is 53.7% which is a huge difference that need a high attention from all side. Kerala is listed as the highest literate state in India with 94%. Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and Arunachal Pradesh are the lowest literate state of India.
