Global Challenges in Education: What’s Really Happening Today

When we talk about global challenges, systemic issues affecting education across countries, from equity to curriculum design. Also known as international education gaps, these problems shape how students learn, what they’re tested on, and whether their efforts lead anywhere. It’s not just about who has a school nearby—it’s about whether the system even works for them.

Take the CBSE, India’s national school board that administers standardized exams across all states. It’s meant to create fairness, but does it? A student in Hamirpur gets the same paper as one in Mumbai—but does that mean equal opportunity? The real issue isn’t the paper. It’s the pressure, the coaching industry, and the belief that only top ranks matter. Meanwhile, eLearning, the process of delivering education through digital platforms is growing fast, but most courses fail because they skip the basics: engagement, practice, and feedback. You can’t just upload a video and call it education.

And what about the path after school? JEE, India’s toughest engineering entrance exam, used to filter students for IITs and top engineering colleges isn’t just a test—it’s a life milestone for millions. But the system doesn’t ask if you want to be an engineer. It just pushes you to score higher. Meanwhile, students in other countries are choosing online degrees that take half the time, or switching to careers that don’t need a traditional degree at all. The global challenge isn’t just about exams or infrastructure. It’s about whether education still serves the people—or if it’s become a machine that grinds them down.

What you’ll find here aren’t theories. These are real stories: how one student cracked JEE without coaching, why CBSE dominates Indian schools despite its flaws, how eLearning platforms actually work (and why most don’t), and what comes after an MBA when you’re ready for more. No fluff. No hype. Just what’s working, what’s broken, and what you can do about it.
