Syllabus: <\/strong>GS2- Social Issues – Issues related to development and management of education<\/p>\n

Relevance:<\/strong> Issues related to student suicides<\/p>\n

News<\/strong>– The news of more student suicides in Kota should worry us greatly about the increasing numbers of such deaths countrywide.<\/p>\n

What are reasons behind the student suicides in Kota?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The tuition centers fees are high. It adds a significant financial load<\/strong> on numerous parents. The students understand the sacrifices their parents are making for their education. It initiates stress <\/strong>right from the outset.<\/p>\n

These exams have a low acceptance rate<\/strong>, as low as 2%<\/strong>. Succeeding in these exams is an extremely difficult task. The pressure intensifies when the results of the entrance exams are announced.<\/p>\n

Is student suicide issue limited to Kota only?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It’s important to recognize that this issue is not confined solely to Kota. In the year 2019, students accounted for 7.4% of all suicide-related deaths. <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB)<\/strong>, more than 12,500 adolescents<\/strong> took their own lives in India in just the year 2020.<\/p>\n

Kota has been particularly impacted. Nevertheless, the stress and suicides <\/strong>among students are a broader nationwide concern.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Way forward-<\/strong><\/p>\n

Indian parents-<\/strong> They should educate themselves<\/strong> on this matter. They should refrain from imposing your own aspirations<\/strong> onto your children. Becoming a doctor or an engineer is not the sole purpose of life. There are countless other career paths available.<\/p>\n

Teachers<\/strong>– They should recognize the stubborn and narrow-minded nature<\/strong> of some Indian parents. They must guide students not only on how to study for these exams but also on how to approach them mentally.<\/p>\n

Policymakers-<\/strong> They should understand why only a handful of government colleges are considered prestigious. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite India’s preference for private products and services, private colleges lack credibility<\/strong> and their intentions <\/strong>are often questioned.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s time to open doors for foreign universities <\/strong>or establish partnerships between major Indian corporate entities and colleges<\/strong>. The goal should be to increase the availability of esteemed colleges and available seats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students- <\/strong>They should embrace the truth about life<\/strong>. It is challenging, uneven, and demanding. <\/strong>Failing an entrance exam might be disheartening<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Failures, setbacks, and injustices will reoccur. The solution isn’t to give up, but to adapt your goals, strategies, and actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
