Education System In India

Education has been a great concern in our country and the paucity of the same has been blamed for all varieties of evil for centuries. A lot of renowned people too have thoroughly emphasized on the importance of education. But honestly, its weird that a very little has changed since 1947. 

India has come up with a lot of worldly acclaimed universities like the IIM’s and other institutions of great eminence. It astonishing that students are so bright and yet fail to get admission in the college of their preference.

There was a time when getting first division meant the apex of ecstasy for the family as well as the child. But today, the scenario is so different. Students getting 98% are looked down upon. The one up man ship attitude has taken a toll on the healthy learning environment everywhere.

Our education system primarily focuses on the the rote learning concept, instead of application. Because of which , pupils only study to get a high percentage for their exams and don't really care about the intrinsic value of education. Knowledge is blotted out as soon as the semester exam is over. It a shame that even teachers now a days don't focus on the mental development of the child, rather give negative reinforcement, if their answers are not in correspondence to the text.

As a result of which every succeeding year students devote themselves to cramming information. The unsurpassed crammers get honored by the system. Creative thinkers are mocked upon. Asking questions in the class is jocular.

I mean do we call this as education? Teachers today are just squandering the valuable time of children. At the end of the month they will get what they are assigned for, but is the fee payed by the student, worth ? Because clearly, the student is not benefited. 

Hence, the need of the hour is to redefine the education system in India. It has to hold on tight to the latest technology. Especially internet, which is a boon in disguise. We’ve got to spread internet in the far off villages, which may seem like a distant dream at the moment, but something which may eventually happen if we start once. 

Additionally, all schools must have e-learning, so that the knowledge gained can actually be put into practice. Also, private capital should be allowed in the educational sphere. We all are well aware of the fact that India is a developing country, thus we cannot expect much from the government knowing the current status of our debts. But yet again, we have to ensure regular checks on the private institutions as well, so that they don't just aim at commercializing .

I have a strong belief that if we as responsible people take steps in the right direction, we might just end up with a whole new education system in India.
