Indian Education is Priceless

My mentor (yeah) wrote in a leading Business Daily, on how “Indian Education is Useless”, making me dig deeper in to the well of education system, he claimed to be so forthrightly top of the curve?

As an entrepreneur, I have had difficulties in finding the un-cut gems, let alone finding semi-polished ones to be refined further. But as his greater wisdom proclaimed, Indian education lacks that spark, quoting another German entrepreneur Manfred Schroeder that ”Without skilled and motivated young people, this country will be in real trouble”, making me think, oh well, if the Germans aren’t willing to be flexible either, they will be in BIG trouble! Specially since they still abstain from adopting English as a recognizable language force which binds many.

And that made me ponder about the multitude of IT experts our ‘useless education’ produces, which enables more than half of the world’s IT infrastructure, so what even if some of these same now adorn American citizenship badges? Does it stand to logic? Or perhaps the author missed the point?

Today I chanced upon an interesting article “Help Wanted: Will Dearth of Experts Starve German Economy?” (http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/lack-of-skilled-labor-could-pose-future-threat-to-german-economy-a-894116-2.html), that made me wonder, how well my Guru had come to grasps with the fascinating Country?

Apparently, the article quotes: A March article in the business daily Handelsblatt, citing an unpublished Education Ministry report, noted that only 21.7% of the German companies still take part in the duale Ausbildung program, the lowest share since 1999 and the number of available traineeships is consequently sliding. Moreover, the number of traineeship contracts is dropping – by 2 percent from 2011 to 2012 and, according to a forecast in the report, and likely by another 3 percent this year.

Need I say more?
