Introduction Some Real Facts Some survey reports Methods For Making Ethical Decision Impact of Unethical Practices Some ethical practices Conclusion

Ethics Ethics is the code of conduct for knowing RIGHT or WRONG. A Right full or a Misleading Behavior thus can be GOVERNED with such CODE OF

Education The act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing the powers of reasoning and judgment and preparing one selves for intellectually matured life.

Education is a panic zone now If ethics in education is followed than it would make a big difference and improvement of the society as a whole.

Real facts • 61% is the literacy rate in India ,39% is illerate. • Education expenditure is 3.2% of GDP. • Less Schools, Less teachers and Low on Ethics. • Teachers take tuitions out school but no classes. • Mid-day meals was introduced to increase the attendance at Govt.

“ Starting from the admission of a kid in school till he grows up completes his education and get placed in a good company ,parents keep on using all kind of practices to make their kids get educated in best possible institutes.” • Un ethical practices starts from…  Admission to Junior K.G school …. Donations  Admission to school …. Donations/development fees.  Getting good grades…tuitions with the teacher teaching same subject in school.  Passing 10th …managing exam invigilator.  Admission to 12 sci/comm….some more development fees to college.  Passing college ….. Continues ……….. Parents keep on encouraging…

• Irregularities in admissions are also common in many private schools • percentage of back-door entries 20% to 40%. • Some of them are known for auctioning their management-quota or corporate-sponsored seats. • one such example is B-school in New Delhi, where governing board members are known to guarantee everything from admission to a good placement for a hefty under-the-table fee. • students had not even appeared in the qualifying exam for admissions. • While some good AICTE-approved B-schools had to pay heavy penalty to the council for giving admission to about 60 students illegally beyond the sanctioned limit. Of course, this is in connivance with AICTE staff.

• Faculty selection :Some are unwilling to spend on good faculty and opt for visiting faculty or hire those with doubtful academic credentials or faculty incompetent to teach. • All this is done just to fulfill AICT norms, generate higher surplus which is siphoned off in various ways as, on paper, the trust or society that runs B-schools can’t show a profit. • To improve their brand, some B-schools go for misleading advertisements …100% placements * Conditions applied

• Unethical practices have corroded the education delivery in many of our schools and colleges. • Perhaps that’s the reason, as some studies have indicated, about 75% of students graduating from many professional college are unemployable.
