The school system in India has four levels: lower primary (age 6 to 10), upper primary (11 and 12), high (13 to 15) and higher secondary (17 and 18). The lower primary school is divided into five “standards”, upper primary school into two, high school into three and higher secondary into two.
Indian Education System Advantages:
- The vast area of subjects covered ensures that students have knowledge about as much as they can.
- Some subjects teach students about the long lost culture of India, which they should be aware of.
- Since students learn so many subjects, some of them find it easier to determine what field they want to pursue a career in.
- Subjects like Economics and English help students in their day to day life.
Indian Education System Disadvantages:
- Most subjects, such as chemistry and physics, focus on textbook knowledge when they could be fun applied subjects to learn.
- There is lesser focus on physical education and sports, and more focus on studying all day long.
- Sex Education is not given in Indian Schools, which is something that needs to be thoughtfully inculcated each year for students.
