World Class Education is a goal

President Obama called an education round table July 18 to explore the needs of business and industry and it's impact on education. President Obama said:
“A world-class education is the single most important factor in determining not just whether our kids can compete for the best jobs but whether America can outcompete countries around the world. America's business leaders understand that when it comes to education, we need to up our game. That's why were working together to put an outstanding education within reach for every child.”

This at the same time Minneota lawmakers are cutting a deal to delay payments to Minnesota schools. How can the state maintain leadership in the country while ignoring the needs of its future (its children)?

Last few years have seen tremendous developments in the educational sector in India, there has been increase in universities to provide higher education, even Liberal grants have been given to universities, we are witnessing massive infrastructure of buildings that have come up that are supposed to act as the centre of higher learning, but instead of imparting education, these centers have become targets of political vendetta, students take admission is to this universities. Just for the sake of qualifications, and not to develop confidence and sense of duty.
