KEYWORDS: Indian Education System, Student’s Opinion

INTRODUCTION

In India, education provided by public schools (controlled and funded by three levels: central, state and local) and private
schools. Under various articles of the Indian Constitution, free and compulsory education is provided as a fundamental
right to children between the ages of 6 and 14. The approximate ratio of public schools to private schools in India is 7:5.

India has made progress in increasing the attainment rate of primary education. In 2011, approximately 75% of
the population, aged between 7 and 10 years, was literate. India's improved education system is often cited as one of the
main contributors to its economic development. Much of the progress, especially in higher education and scientific
research, has been credited to various public institutions. While enrolment in higher education has increased steadily over
the past decade, reaching a Gross Enrollment Ratio of 24% in 2013, there still remains a significant distance to catch up
with tertiary education enrolment levels of developed nations, a challenge that will be necessary to overcome in order to
continue to reap a demographic dividend from India's comparatively young population.

In January 2019, India had over 900 universities and 40,000 colleges. [14] In India's higher education system, a
significant number of seats are reserved under affirmative action policies for the historically disadvantaged Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. In universities, colleges, and similar institutions affiliated to the
federal government, there is a maximum 50% of reservations applicable to these disadvantaged groups, at the state level it
can vary. Maharashtra had 73% reservation in 2014, which is the highest percentage of reservations in India.

History

Takshasila (in modern-day Pakistan) was the earliest recorded centre of higher learning in India from possibly 8th
century BCE, and it is debatable whether it could be regarded a university or not in modern sense, since teachers living

there may not have had official membership of particular colleges, and there did not seem to have existed purpose-built
lecture halls and residential quarters in Taxila, in contrast to the later Nalanda university in eastern India. Nalanda was the
oldest university-system of education in the world in the modern sense of university. There all subjects were taught in
Ariano -páli Language.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The education system in India has savored a special bond between the teacher and the pupil, since time unknown. Infact,
India was the country to have established what we know as the Gurukul system of education and „0‟ the basic of
Mathematics education was invented by Aryabhatta an Indian. In order to address the purposes outlined by the researcher,
the information from previous research is needed to provide direction for the concepts, relationships and instruments to be
included in the study. So the researcher reviewed related researches of Ph.D. and M.Phil. from different universities. The
researcher also reviewed mathematical references, research paper on mathematics education and software, attitude towards
teaching and learning, new trends, attitude towards female education, opportunities of females in mathematics education.
By reviewing the related researches and literature, the researcher has finalized the studies on the title, „Impact of New
Trends of Teaching Learning Process in Mathematics towards the Competitiveness of Female Students at Higher
Secondary Schools in Mumbai’.

1. Alan B. Henkin, (2009) - “Urban Teacher Commitment Exploring Associations with Organizational Conflict, Support
for Innovation and Participation” This study explores relationship between teachers‟ organizational commitment and
interpersonal conflict, participation activities beyond the classroom and innovations in schools. Potential relationship
among study variables are suggested in research that views affective commitment as a proxy measure for decisions to leave
the school. Increments in experience are negative associated with organizational commitment. Higher levels of
interpersonal conflict are linked to lower levels of organizational commitment. Participation in activities beyond the
classroom is marginally related to commitment where as support for innovation has a strong positive effect on teachers
commitment. The literature suggests the importance of high levels of commitment and commitment norms, in terms of the
teachers work performance and the stability of the professional workforce.

2. Reddy, (2000). Occupation is an important aspect in women‟s life today. The problems and difficulties of working
women fall into three categories: environmental, social and psychological Adams et.al.(2000).Men generally opt for
autocratic type of style. Women show participative style. Thus women are more cooperative and understanding but
interaction should not be linked to being female. The interactive style include encouraging participation from employees,
sharing information, energies others (Rosener Judy, 1999). Although women have turned to being professionals, marriage
plays an important role in their lives, whether they would work with the same motivation after being married is a food for
thought

3. Hewlett et. al. (2005) explains that most professional women step off their career fast at a certain phase of life when
they have children to raise, elderly parents to take care of. Thus,women face many obstacles, which leave a gap in their
profession. The main issue then becomes whether they will be able to work with the same motivation after a long gap. For
this, the author suggests using flexible working hours.
