This statement of Rahul Gandhi has again brought the debate about equal opportunities and social justice in the education system into discussion.

Rahul Gandhi said that if you do not have money or power, or you cannot speak English, then this system will throw you out without thinking. He further said that such a system cannot be called an education system, rather it is a system that keeps people out. According to Rahul Gandhi, it has been designed in such a way that millions of Indian youth can be kept away from opportunities.
Raised the issue of equal opportunity in education
The main issue of this statement of Rahul Gandhi is related to equal access to education and giving equal opportunities to the youth to move forward. In his statement, questions have been raised regarding the economic situation, social impact and the role of the English language. Through this statement he has raised questions on the inclusivity of the education system. However, without the context of this statement and independent confirmation of any specific policy or incident related to it, it is not clear to which specific arrangement his comments refer. Now the main question arises whether the education system of the country is able to give equal opportunity to every youth to move forward on the basis of his talent, or the economic condition and language still remain a big obstacle?
