Education is one of the neglected fields in this part of the world. Its deficiencies are causing numerous economic and social problems. Educating a privileged segment of society only is not solving such problems. Instead such problems can be solved by equal opportunities for all segments of society. Equal opportunities of education can be provided to all aspiring students only by minimising constraints in getting admissions or continuing one’s education. Presently it is not so, as there are so many hurdles to overcome before starting or advancing one’s education.
Simplification of educational process is the need of the hour. Equal opportunities for all in education cannot materialise without it. Economic patterns of these times stress for educating all segments of society, equally. Social and economic disparities cannot be reduced without equal opportunities in getting modern and quality education. Though it is often said that cultural constraints, poverty and social instability are obstacles in the way of education for all, simply it is lack of equal opportunities in education as well as in many other fields. Because no social and economic stability is possible without educating the masses first.
