For China and Japan, the situation has been very different, in terms of ideology and belief they have been united on this front as a nation and practiced it over several centuries. They had been advocating and imparting QUALITY EDUCATION in their native language. This is essential. We can not and will not obtain, attract and nurture great minds unless we shift our paradigm on bringing up the quality rather than quantity. It is need of the hour to realize and take remedial measures in our approachto making business through Education wile still ensuring that the students never become a victim in this approach either in schools, colleges or universities. Let us not setup institutions imparting diluted and compromised learning hiring cheap and overloaded faculty and expecting them to perform para-normally well achieving Herculean tasks. Perhaps an effective monitoring on the quality of education being delivered by us is the need of the hour and I can guarantee we are far behind the International standards in this respect.

Nevertheless, there is a greater need of attaching value to the system of education and teachers in general in our community where people are judgmental on the kind of salary and money one begets in his profession with little or no appreciation for the values practiced by one. We all need CEOs, doctors and Top shot hefty paid engineers for our daughters and perhaps most of us will choose to overlook a sincere underpaid teacher who is truly devoted to this noble profession.

To summarize, we need to grow morally in character as a nation first. Second, we need to ensure quality delivery of education at all levels using mandatory and standardized procedures. Finally, a larger appreciation for the teaching community needs to be realized in the society, one that should also be reflected from their payrolls.
