Corruption on Education

The quality of education in India has increased from earlier days. But the systemof education has decreased and getting bad. There is atradition in educational institutions to take bribes in the name of donation. Many schools and colleges take donation from 10 to 15 lakhs. The children are not deprived from taking education directly butindirectly they are deprived from taking education on the basis of their merit. Even the value of intelligence and marks are reducing day by day.

Generally speaking, the value of Entrance Exam is decreasingin some of the institutions of India. But this is another way to get money.Even there is a growing business of private educational companies in Indiarelated to entrance tests. In Indian, the marks and grade system is a major problem.There is a number of teachers who are continuing the business in the name of private tuition. They take more extra money from the students in private coaching centre. The same teachers pays less attention to the students in school or college.

In India, there are some institutes which provide the certificates in exchange of money to the students. Those institutions allow the students to teach in the exams. Before realizing if it is ethical or unethical, the students are being habituated with this practice. The institutions are only concern with the profit and money, which they get from the students. These institutions have no intention to improve or brighten up the future of the students. Thus, those corrupted educational institutions are damaging the essence of education system.
