A nation should all of its students to follow a common curicculum until college.

[sukriti]

In a nation with variety of states differing in geography, traditions, languages and monetary measures, proposing uniformity might not prove to be very plausible. Usually, the housing loans, tax laws and other national policies have nuances based on the financial and social differences. The recommendation to adopt same national cirriculum for all of its students until college has many disadvantages as well as advantages based on certain circumstances as discussed below.

 

 

The uniformity of education to all children regardless of class, state will prove a boon when analysying students in terms of grades, since all will be judged on the same question set and syllabus. Hence, job opportunites and college admission will also be served equally to all.

However, this recommendation is far fetched and either cannot be done because of the differences in languages in diff states or needs a lot of back- preparartion for developing the same assets in all states.

The assets in different schools might be very different even for the same city, let alone a state thousands of miles away. Teachers with necessary skill sets, computers and playgrounds might be difficult for a school with little funding in developing states.

Depending upon the demographics of the state, the appropriate subjects in different states might be different. For example, in India's southern states where english is the mother toungue and 70% of the state's occupation is IT related job, it is more useful to teach them English as the primary language with compauters included in the cirriculum before college. On the other hand in states like UP where 1/3 of the population is still labour class and poor, English should be chosen as a second language with subjects like agriculture, Hygeine etc.Computers can be taught in later stages depending upon interest of tht student.

In different states, mothe tongues are differnt and hence no one language can be taught to all students from didfffernt states.

In capital cities, which are well established, parents usully have the finiancial aid to allow their children for home tuitions or any kind of extra help. This helps students to grasp the cirriculum better in much lesser time. On the other hand, in rural areas, where childeren after reaching back home after school have to help their parents in running business/ agricukture, the cirriculum might progress in a slower pace.

An appropriate cirriculum in such cases then becomes the one that takes into consideration such small but important factors in mind and is designed for the best welfare of it's children who are the next generation country's policity mkers.
