12. Career Counseling
The schools should have dedicated counseling departments with specially trained
counselors who could guide the students at every step of the education lifecycle.
The counselors should be able to tell the difference between a job and
education-based career to students and chalk out the complete career path for
students.
13. Literacy Definition
The prevailing definition of literacy in India is totally false and misleading. A person is
considered literate or educated if they can read, write, and do basic arithmetic in
day-to-day life.
But this education is of no use. A person should be considered educated if they can
get a respectable job with their education and progress in their career with the help
of that education.
Among other academic qualities, such an educated person would have a formal
certification equivalent to at least the bachelor’s degree or graduation degree.
