Education System in India

Dear Friends,

Education? What does it mean in India? Whats the education for?

If you ask this question in India, most of the people will answer that, the ultimate aim of education is to get good marks..Whats the use of this mark? Who is going to be benefited? 

If a guy/girl secure gold medal in the university education or secured 95 % in school education, then everyone consider that the goal of education has been reached.

Do you(blog reader) think its true?? 

Is it the main aim of education? 

Is the gold medal and the 95% marks fulfill everything???

To me, the gold medal & 95% marks are useless, unless the talents of these top brains have been used up for societal transformations and their works should reach and satisfy the needs of common people...These talents need to be exploited to do something for the country or for the people..They need to do something innovative.....

And there is a problem in doing innovation !!!

What sort of mind set, do you think, is needed for creative outcomes?

........................A mind with best thinking capability.

Do our education system make us to think???

No way....

Do our examinations, test our thinking capability?

If one can memorize(even mathematics), he/she can get 100% & even a gold medal in university...What an embarassing situation to our education system !!

But we say that Indians have the best capability of thinking....

If its true, then why didn't we do innovations?

Most of the time we are proud of Indian history...We say, Aryabhatta is from India, Ramanujam is from India, Raman is from India and so..We are proud of the past..Ofcourse we have to be. But we are saying this same history for the several decades..When are we going to create a new history with many more great people??

Come on, let us work for it... 

Some important facts on school(government schools) education in India:

1. Not many students have did experiments in lab(and by the way, there are no labs in many schools).

2. No sufficient qualified teachers are available in India..

3. Teachers(many, not all again) never went to school in time

4. Most of the government school teachers wanted their students to come to home tution. So that they can earn more money.

Then how India can do innovations? When all these things are going to be erradicated?

I want to bring an important information to your notice..

"In Tamilnadu, if a question in higher secondary school public examination paper appears difficult or something that make students to think(means that is not a direct question from the textbook), then there will atleast 10's of cases registered in high court on the next day..They will claim that the department of education should award full mark to all students to that particular question, just because it is not a direct question from book.."

See the mind sets of people..How stupid some people are?

Then how the quality of education will improve?

In addition, the TN government has cancelled the Engineering and medical entrance exams..Now there is no way for the students to think...A school student in India spend 10+2 years for nothing...

Rules need to be changed..A strong regulations have to be set to make education system is such a way to increase the thinking capability of students...

Dear blog readers, please think if the same education system continue for long, then we are not going to see a developed India...I can assure you this....We have to create awareness on all these aspects to do innovations..

We have to rise our country's pride to sky....

Blog readers please give your ideas and suggestions..

Aravind.
