Children of better off Indians can easily leave government run or
aided schools. Not only that in itself will eliminate bribes from
Indian School Education, it will let literacy seeking children of
illiterate or first generation literate parents to make better use of
Public Money spent on Indian School Education.

Thanks and regards,

Default Petition for removing bribes from education

http://www.petitiononline.com/kilgraft/petition.html

To: Those who make laws for India as well as to those who interpret
and enforce them
Transparency International India carried out India's largest ever
corruption survey two years back. Result was that Government run
schools up to XII standard with Rs.4,137 crore in yearly bribe money
topped every other sector of Indian public life including Indian
Police force figures for which was Rs 3,899 crore .

As per reports Rs.4,137 crore does not include corruption of
government aided private schools. Most private schools receive their
secondary and higher secondary school teachers' salary plus
administrative expenses from government. Figure certainly does not
include bribes teachers have to pay to be hired in school, percentage
of salary eaten up by the school managements in league with Education
Officers and their political masters, nor does it include private
tuitions school teachers force on their pupils during 9th to 12th
standard or bribes parents pay to secure higher grades for their
children in Board Examinations.


Please read Corruption Catalogue of School System at

Total yearly bribes in Indian public life comes to Rs 21,068 crore
that is over five billion US dollars. Please read

If over a hundred years old British made law is scrapped bribes from
Indian Education can begin to get removed.

The law requires a student to come to higher education through head of
a government-recognised school.

No such law exists in UK, USA, France to my knowledge. In fact in USA
children of Indian immigrants often make news for performing
extraordinarily in academics without ever enrolling in any government
or private school there. Their parents coach them at home until they
enter college or university.

Why not allow students in India to sit at higher education entrance
tests even if instead of having been enrolled in a government
recognised school they have prepared themselves only through coaching
classes or with help of anybody or any tool such as Internet?

Bribes in Indian education breaks spirits of generations after
generations of educated Indians.

Please get the British made law scrapped to let Indian youngsters
taste honesty in the life building process of learning from their
teachers.

I have written to every one in Sam Pitroda headed and Dr. Manmohan
Singh government set up National Knowledge Commission
http://knowledgecommission.gov.in/, as well as to Mukesh Ambani and
Kumarmangalam Birla of Special Subject Group set up by Vajpayee
government to receive reform advice on education
http://indiaimage.nic.in/pmcouncils/reports/education/, and of course
to number of Prime Ministers and Presidents including the current
ones.

Obviously there being no response I request every one of you and your
contacts to join me in this petition by signing it, also please get
this petition publicised in whatever media you can.

Scrapping the unnecessary law in first instance will remove the
children of better off Indian parents from bribes in education. They
will no more be forced to attend classes in schools wherein teachers
twist students so they get trapped in their tuition classes outside of
school hours. These students already attend private tuition or
coaching classes. They do want to be exempted from school classes
where teachers do not teach.

More such students start abstaining from school classes; corruption of
schools will start getting into focus. On one hand schools will have
to improve and on the other hand enterprising teachers will begin to
run their business of teaching away from government-subsidised
schools.

If other professionals are free to run their professions according to
market forces why prevent teachers from doing the same?

Scrapping the law, besides liberating young Indian spirits will show
the direction to free up India from culture of bribes in other sectors
of Indian public life.
