In this paper, an attempt has been made to focus on challenges of education in 21st century. Education
and health sectors both are considered a mirror of any country. It means that education is considered
backbone of any nation. We know very well that it is age of science and technology. Due to the
advancement of science and technology, everything has and has been changed very fast. Our
education system has and has been also changed . Major changes in education are in Teaching
methodology, objectives, curriculum, values, attitudes of learners and tutors, education policies,
infrastructure, media of instructions, quality of education, economic resources, commitments, social
and political cultures, knowledge, character, sustainability, dependence, humanism and terrorism etc.
Due to the drastic changes in education system, various challenges have and have been arisen before
state and centre governments. The writer has not hope ,but full faith that this article would be very
helpful to the educationists, political leaders, social reformers and education policy makers to
change the attitudes and frame the policy for qualitative rather than quantitative education.
