Indian College Students Face Bleak Prospects
The New York Times has a piece on the lackluster prospects facing the great majority of Indian college graduates. Most of the 11 million students in India's 18,000 colleges and universities receive starkly inferior training, according to the article, heavy on obedience and rote memorization and light on useful job skills. From the article: "In the 2001 census, [Indian] college graduates had higher unemployment — 17 percent — than middle or high school graduates... [At a middle-tier college] dozens of students swarmed around a reporter to complain about their education. 'What the market wants and what the school provides are totally different,' a commerce student said.... [A] final-year student who expects next year to make $2 to $4 a day hawking credit cards, was dejected. 'The opportunities we get at this stage are sad,' she said. 'We might as well not have studied.'"
excuse guys and gals but why is this offtopic?!? someone having a bad day over there?
Ignorant fuck? Honestly, I expected more coming from an anonymous coward. I'm saying this from an American perspective, so yes, I use the term 'those people' in reference to imported African slaves, courtesy of the British slave trading companies.
By the way, next time you post a knee-jerk, reactionary post anonymously, please have the common sense to post OUTSIDE of the quote tag. Your post looks jacked up.
