The Brain Drain Effects and Bleak Picture of Indian Education System as more students heading abroad Increases

Indian Students going to US had increased by 30% and the inflow of foreign students to India for Education has declined sharply.As according to report  the number of students coming to India from other countries like US, Germany,France,South Korea,Australia,China,Singapore had dropped by 73%.

The report also states that the number of students moving for education hadn't dropped for countries better placed than India, Even from other countries like Afghanistan,Bangladesh and Other African countries  fewer people are turning to India for higher education.

Indian Education System

Indian students going to US had risen by 29.4% within a year and it is almost 6% following three years of consistent decline,as of now more than 1.33 lakh Indians studying in universities across the US.US has remained the top destination abroad for higher education and Recently UK Replaced Australia  as the second most coveted destination for higher education.  

Abroad Education

A study report points out, "a part of the reason may have to do with perceptions of insecurity, owing to the attacks on women that inhibit parents from sending their children to the subcontinent." They also pointed out the main reasons in declining the level of higher education in India is because of shortage of capable faculty and lack of government efforts and expecting better scope and opportunity in other countries.This is the reason why more students are moving out of India for their higher education

Another problem faced by those coming from other countries is racial discrimination.

 

Pune's Symbiosis International University South Sudanese students had complained about racial discrimination to our Home Minister Rajnath Singh.Singh had hence appealed, "From this platform, I want to appeal to all Indian students in Pune as well as in other parts of the country not to discriminate anyone and consider every one as brother. It is very unfortunate if any such incident takes place in our country."

 

As pointed out by Philip G Altbach in a report"Not only are overseas programmes and departments more prestigious, they also have far better facilities, laboratories and a more favourable culture of research. Top faculty members are often more accessible and it is easier to become affiliated with a laboratory or institute. Academic politics exists everywhere, and Indians may suffer from occasional discrimination abroad, but overall academic conditions are likely to be better than at home."

With numbers projecting a pretty bleak picture of the Indian education system,The Indians study's still finding the underline the important opportunities and consider the quickest solution by hiring the best faculty in universities,by setting up more and more quality  educational universities, labs and research centers across the country in order to restrict the outgo of students.
