If school wasn’t compulsory then we would be a nation with uneducated people. I used to find school extremely boring and wanted to graduate when I was in class 5. I am sure if it were left up to most children in India they wouldn’t want to go to school. I do feel school should be made compulsory at least up to a certain grade.
In our country, people literally count the number of degrees they have. If you have noticed most Multi national companies require you to have gotten a certain percentage in a particular educational field before even considering you for a job. There are a high number of unemployed people but there are also many job openings which have come up most of which require a basic degree.
If you say that many people have dropped out of school and still made it big you are not wrong but it is a very small number.
People who have made a name for themselves have worked their way up and do have a degree. I do not see any harm in slogging for 16 years of your life and living comfortably with a decent income for the rest of it.
Maybe if schools in India were more fun, children would like attending classes regularly and there wouldn’t be the need of compulsory attendance.
