Dr Radhakrishnan commission: "Our secondary education remains weakest link in our Educational machinery & needs urgent reform"

Dr R.C.Dass: "The education which we recieve is barrowed and imitated article,it is unable to enrich the life blood of our soul"

Now we will discuss about some important problems of secondary education

Aimlessness: it is considered as a means to prepare an individual for higher education or getting employment . Neither does it prepare the individual for world of work nor it develop personality as whole.

Unsuitable curriculum: Existing curriculum is faulty and narrowly conceived, subject centered,bookish, unpsychological, theoretical, dominated by examinations,not related to environment & practical life, without pupils intrest hence lost appreciation etc.

Defective text books:  The standard of secondary level text books is  low .They provide information but lacks originality,market is floded with cheap notes,guides but they are examination oriented.

Problem of method of teaching & medium of instruction : Existing methods methods lack motivation for learning,fails to develop independent thinking & self learning. Generally book reading & lecture method are in practice which lack necessary things.English language is used as main medium of language but students especially from rural areas are not well acquainted with english language so it becomes a barrier for their expression & understanding.

Hence at conclusion we can say that we need well qualified & experienced staff  ,a flexible curriculum , practical & life centred education because these things are necessary for developing ease & efficiency in education process.
