Acharya Prashant critiques the current education system, comparing it to a factory assembly line designed to produce finished products for the social and economic order. He argues that the system treats students as raw material to be processed into workers who serve societal needs, such as manufacturing or marketing, in exchange for material comforts and social respect. He points out that the success of educational institutions is often measured solely by placement figures, which he defines as the absorption of the individual into the existing socio-economic structure, rather than the liberation of the human being.
