Reservation in Higher Education and Jobs- Divide and Rule Strategy

Introduction:

“Reservation in Higher Education and Jobs in Private Sector”…Yes or No? There has been lot of debate on this subject across the country. People are agitating…people are on hunger strike; Students have different views…professionals have different views. As per the interview with Cabinet Minister, (Human Resourse Development) Mr. Arjun Singh…on CNN-IBN, he is not willing to accept any facts and fingers. In short, after the interview he looks like a confused person…might be an effect of his age. Lets start from the very beginning, on the 27th of June 1961 Pt.

The moment we encourage the second rate, we are lost. And then he adds pointedly: This way lies not only folly, but also disaster.

Understanding and Unleashing the Transformative Powers of Education

As a child, my parents always impressed upon me the importance of getting a good education. My father in particular, always told my siblings and I that we should strive to be number one in our studies. Because of the strict nature of my father, getting good grades was the rule, while getting low grades resulted in punishment. Needless to say, my siblings and I achieved honor role status throughout our K through middle school years. However, as I hit high school things began to change for me. I was no longer that little boy that followed my father’s every wish out of fear. By now, I had been hardened by the tough streets of Brooklyn and questioned whether getting a good (formal) education could take me out of this environment.

You see, in my community, I knew of few high school graduates, much less college graduates. My parents had limited education and struggled to provide for my siblings and I. Like many that grew up in poor communities, I experienced my fair share of pain and struggles. Like many of today’s youth that are dropping out of high school in record numbers, I too doubted the transformative powers of formal education touted by my parents and teachers. I did not believe that formal education alone could transform my socio-economic situation. As a result, I began to devalue formal education and withdrew (cutting classes regularly). Luckily, I began to realize the error in my thinking brought about by the intervention of a high school guidance counselor. I struggled to graduate high school, needing to attend summer school two years in a row in addition to night school. Nevertheless, I did graduate-But what next!?

Get the Desirable Education by Using an Education Loan

It is not normally feasible that the person who wants to have a decent education has the money required to do so. However, being more on the optimistic approach, this person may come up short of the money that is required. He can, therefore, take the feature of education loans which are given by most of the banks operating in the country today.

The criteria that makes somebody capable of taking an education loan is not an harrowing one, in fact it is one of the most simple ones ever. The person who normally takes the loan is usually a student and, therefore, it is normally a necessity for the person to have one of his parents bringing in the income which fetches their daily bread. Furthermore, the need to be an Indian citizen is also one of the regulations that has to be met for becoming capable of taking education loans.
