Another step taken by the government that failed,is its policy on reservation. The reservation policy was conceived to counter India's peculiar social-economic situation,in which large sections of the population led a life of humiliation and deprivation. As the results show,the policy has succeeded in uplifting many in these sections to a semblance of respectability ,and more importantly,to a level of education and welfare that can sustain that respectability. But unfortunately those who have been uplifted are unwilling to give up the privileges of the policy for the sake of those still suffering deprivation ,thus instead of percolating through all the different social strata,the benefits of the policy are getting stagnated in pockets, because of the selfishness of those the policy has benefited.
Adding to these drawbacks in the education system ,are the incompetence and insincerity of the teaching community and the inadequacy of the commonly adopted teaching practices, The standard of the training teachers undergo,is rarely displayed in manner they teach. Whatever the manner and method of training,teaching ability being an art, can be developed only by dedication and constant practice. Much of the problems of the education system is due to the inability of teachers to manage students behavior and performance properly. Qualities like versatility, tact and patience, so essential in students management, are rarely shown by teachers,though most teachers claim to be trained to be use them.
