subject: The Biggest Challenge to Education! [print this page] I remember the time when I worked hard to prepare my MBA dissertation and i remember the time when I worked hard to write my findings and recommendations.
Well, can someone get education on the basis of his wealth? The answer is yes. It might be amusing for some listeners but I will explain how?
Today all of us have access to internet and all of us are aware of the freelancing sites. Nowadays hundreds of freelance sites are functioning where thousands of freelancers are ready to take up your work. This means thousands of freelancers are at your finger tips if you have some money in your account. Hence the students find it easy to get the prepared college assignment from someone else. Can these students make any contribution in any field? They do not have the necessary knowledge to estimate their goals and to make any implementation. So can we expect desired output from this new generation? If the students will not prepare their assignments from their own, they then will not be able to overcome their mistakes!
Let's take another example here. I am preparing my PhD thesis, on which the whole study depends on. If I will give it to someone else to write, it will mean that a person who is completely ignorant of my findings is writing my thesis. Will I be able to make a significant contribution in my field in the future?
Every university makes sure that the students are preparing unique assignment by checking then through plagiarism software's but no one ensure that whether they are preparing the assignment by their own or not. According to an estimate, 10% of the total jobs posted at any freelance site belong to the assignments of students.
The issue has become a serious menace in India where proper consultants have set up who take the assignments of the students and post it to some freelance site. In other words, these consultants act as outsourcers! The students give their assignment to the consultant who has good reputation.
For making the students qualified, we have to take some serious steps in this regard!
