There is no denying the fact that institutional education in schools and colleges can help develop the personality of a child. However, a greater role of this education is to empower a student to get a respectable job in the market.

Alas, the education in India fails on both the fronts – it can’t develop the personality of a student and it can’t help them get a meaningful career.

This is evident from rampant corruption, increasing level of unemployment, and intellectual drought in the country. And it is further reflected in the worsening Human Development Index (HDI) of India.

Published by the United Nations Development Programme, HDI indicates the level of skills in a country and lets you know if people in that country are able to achieve their goals.

Unfortunately, India falls at No. 135 in the global list of countries ranked on the basis of their HDI. That means, despite all the loud claims by the Indian government about the education standards in the country, the education in India is not producing skilled workforce. The so-called educated people in India are not employable in any modern field. Worse, most of them are not even trainable.

Consequently, out of nearly 500 million workers in India, over 94% work in unorganized sector as pushcart vendors, street hawkers, domestic servants, and so on. This means the education standards in India are so poor that they are not producing workforce employable for respectable jobs in the organized enterprises.

Plus, the Web is replete with facts and figures that reveal the irrelevance of Indian education systems and how they are wasting students’ time and parents’ money.

But can the education standards be improved in the country? It’s difficult but not impossible. A complete overhaul of the education ecosystem is required to pull off some positive and measurable results.

Here’s an attempt in this direction. RMN Foundation – the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) wing of the RMN Company – has developed an innovative education framework called “Constructive Education Framework (CEF).”

Although the focus of education under the Constructive Education Framework (CEF) will be to produce morally sound and honest people, it will work on the principle of “Learning for Earning” to meet the larger objective of building a prosperous society.

Here’s the outline of the education syllabus under our CEF methodology.
