Educational Institutionalizations for Students in India

2. The brief conclusions all serve to indicate cold, harsh, and impactful conclusions to his yearly cycle which further emphasize the schism between school years. Some of the conclusions serve different functions, though. For example, when he ends his third grade segment with “I’m still waiting.” it is short and impactful; but, when he ends the fifth grade segment with a rhetorical question “Oh, do you remember those sweet, almost innocent choices that the Indian boys were forced to make?” the segment seems to linger on for a moment longer, portraying that the event had a stronger impression than the previous, shorter conclusion.

The perspective of the student’s community members has an impact on his or her success. Many of the student’s elders have experienced or heard the stories of the “Indian Boarding Schools” so there is mistrust on their part. The student may need to start developing a more independent way of thinking before he or she even enters college to break free from potential negative views of the higher education system. (Schooler, 2014)

Education as a whole has been the key to the future and provides to the students with skill that they could not get anywhere. The new age has clearly shown us that education is a vital ingredient for a person’s future. Education has shown that one who studies further has a better lifestyle and will be highly respected, but what education cannot do is offer everyone the opportunity to succeed. Only a few students can take advantage of education; because if suddenly

In today’s world, young people think that if they continue their tertiary education, they can access a better job, no matter which subject they take. This situation indirectly causes a huge enrollment of students into universities and colleges, which may drop off the quality of education. As the author says, “quantity trumps quality” (pg. 168) which certify that the environment is skipped from education to jobs; meanwhile, the knowledge part is ignored by the students. In detail, they do not expect to learn something but just to get a degree which acts as “a passport to consideration for a job”. (pg. 164) This condition gradually turns credentialing into the norm. Everyone only cares about the degree that they will receive rather than concerning about what they will learn and develop through their subject’s material.

Higher education has a vast history; beginning in the early colonial period and spanning ten generations. With its wide range of history, aspects of higher education have changed as the ideals and reforms of society adjusted. Albeit, the missions and purposes of college have remained the same. In this paper, I will clarify the three main missions and purposes of higher education. Then, I will shift the focus of the paper to the area I would like to pursue in higher education and how it reflects those purposes.

As stated by Heather Sholten, author of the newspaper article "State of Emergency for Indian Education", she explains that "The problems of native students begins long before they reach high school. The percentage of American Indians and Alaska Native fourth-graders scoring below basic on the national assessment of educational progress increased by two points between 2005 and 2011 – – even as a percentage of fourth-graders struggling in math declined by five points in that same period." This quote highlights how early educational problem may begin well before students even enter high school. This means that we should focus more on early education, rather than trying to fix the problem while they’re in high school.

Save the world on your own by Stanley Fish provides some valuable arguments about methods of education. Fish interprets some of the best universities techniques of education and provide a new concept or idealist way in his own point of view. Most of the universities’ mission statement has nothing to do with the universities’ role towards society. The interference of political, moral, and ethical views during the course of education affects a student’s beliefs and ideologies. Fish believes that the techniques of evaluating ideologies is what a student should be learning, rather than building a belief on a teacher’s point of view for example. Fish’s solution was not abandoning political issues in class, but adapting to the issues on an academic hand rather than always evaluating opinions overheard everywhere. The technique or way he is trying to approach is called “academicizing” the course of education. The analyzing of Fish’s argument follows the Toulmin argument technique, which contains of claim, reason, qualifier, warrant, backing and rebuttal.

This bring us to the situation that we are living today; there is a higher demand of prospect students trying to obtain a college education, however the amount of students graduating every year is very low; because Like the people of Omelas, colleges and universities are sacrificing the education of America’s young adults, especially those who belong to the unprivileged sector of our society, in favor of filling their pockets and those companies affiliated to them. It is morally reprehensive the double standard and blatant scam behind the higher education. The colleges and universities in the United States are constantly promoting the importance of a good higher education, but their underhanded actions discourage the unprivileged students to continue furthering their

The purpose of education is to influence one in an intellectual manner, as well as support one’s chosen pursuit of happiness. The Indian boarding school movement, although attempting, ignored such values, as they encouraged the Native students that in order to live well, they must mimic the white man. When discussing the instruction given, Sun Elk, a former student at Carlisle, mentioned, “They told us that Indian ways were bad. They said we must get civilized. I remember that word too. It means ‘be like the white man’” (222). The Indian boarding schools did not support the purpose of education; when instructing the Natives, they informed them of the notion that whites are superior to Natives. This thus influenced the Native’s chosen pursuit

In 1969, the Special Senate Subcommittee on Indian Education released a disclosure titled, “Indian Education: A National Tragedy” that centered their observations on the alarming educational situation among these people. The report is summarized as having the lack of Indian participation or control; coursework which rarely recognized Indian history, culture, or language; and anti-Indian attitudes on the part of school administrators and teachers. Schools were discovered to be insufficiently funded, inadequate in academic performance, unacceptable in effectiveness and standards of instruction, severely lacking in programs involving guidance or counselors, and described as an impersonal environment. As a result of these finding, in 1972, the United States passed what was known as the Indian Education Act. This act established a comprehensive approach to fulfill the social and academic needs of Native American students. Though there has been succeeding legislative reauthorizing statutes, the distinctive aspects of the original act have been preserved. The Indian Education legislation is unique in the following ways:

The quota policies have shifted the student composition in public institutions due to an increasing enrollment of lower caste students. In recent years, new student organizations have emerged across higher education institutions. These organizations build solidarity among the lower caste students and raise their consciousness on a range of issues (Mukherji, 2016). This phenomenon is challenging the historical dominance of cultural capital by the higher castes. In the recent years, the student demographics has changed but overwhelming numbers of faculty belong to the higher castes. Therefore, lower caste students face individual and institutional retaliation in the form of covert and overt aggressions. The current meritocratic arguments (against

Some people have mostly experienced the banking concept of education with their earlier years in education. Mostly the humanist approached is reached in the more mature years of a student’s life. Each type of education approach is necessary for growth of person. When the education system uses one style more frequent than the others, then it’s a sign of a control method. This is pointed out by Paul Freire by saying “Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in "changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them," for the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated” (Freire

The second aspect is Free Education within institutions of higher learning. The numerous protests that took place in South Africa is the sign of the absence of policy implementation as guided by the freedom charter and the constitution, bill of rights section 29. Education must be free and made available to everyone that is one aspect of democratic indicator within a democratic state. Therefore the ANC government has failed dismally on this issue in the past 23 year’s post 1994. The Pluralist theory will investigate the cause of why this policy is not executed and if possible the funds are inadequate to implement this policy of free education. The theory will also provide direction on how to implement policies as guided by the constitution of South Africa and the freedom

Higher education should be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit. Professional and technical education should be made generally available.

Today the world has progressed in leaps and bounds in every field of study but we continue to face a value crisis. Despite high academic qualification, some people are involved in brutal and mindless terrorism and other antisocial activities. The academic qualifications have not created a cultured person and a worthy citizen. This shows a low level of Emotional and spiritual intelligence. This is where the role of the teacher becomes more significant. A teacher with high level of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence can provide guidelines for living from a soul-level and attaining self-fulfillment in both one 's work and private life. A teacher should be a guide, philosopher and friend to the student. As such, the teacher inevitably becomes a role model to the students. It is in the elementary stage that a child starts inculcating and forming his own value system. Therefore, elementary teachers have a strong hand in shaping the child’s value systems. Only a teacher with high Emotional and spiritual intelligence in her can develop them into good personalities. The present paper discusses about the importance of Emotional and spiritual intelligence in Indian Education .and its
