Quality Of Indian Education
Author : HARSHITHA M 9A
The Indian education system is quite an old education system that still exits. It has produced so many genius minds that are making India proud all over the world. However, while it is one of the oldest systems, it is still not that developed when compared to others, which are in fact newer. This is so as the other countries have gone through growth and advancement, but the Indian education system is still stuck in old age. It faces a lot of problems that need to be sorted to let it reach its full potential. Indian education judges students on the basis of marks and grades ignoring the overall performance of the student. It focuses on academics side-lining arts and sports. That is very unfair to students who are good in their overall performance but not that good at specific subjects. We often leave everything behind and run behind success, and we often picture success as a medal in the neck or signing autographs, but that is not true success.
Furthermore, we see how the Indian education system focuses on theory more. Only a little percentage is given for practical. This makes them run after the bookish knowledge and not actually applying it to the real world. This practice makes them perplexed when they go out in the real world due to lack of practical knowledge. This is the reason, although Indian students know the right knowledge there are only a few people who applies that knowledge in real world. Students who apply their knowledge on real-life situations have the real wisdom. I will explain it by a simple example. How many of us know that we shouldn't throw garbage or discard things on the road? Well, all know that. Who follows that? Sad but bitter truth is that very few follow that. What's the point of learning the right knowledge when you don't apply it? After students enter the real world they will regret having done that and will think what was the whole point of their success.
We can improve it by focusing on the skill development of the students. The schools and colleges must not only focus on the ranks and grades but on the analytical and creative skills of children. Other than that, the government and private colleges must now increase the payroll of teachers. As they clearly deserve more than what they offer. To save money, the schools hire teachers who are not qualified enough. This creates a very bad classroom environment. In conclusion, the India education system must change for the better. It must give the students equal opportunities to shine better in the future. We need to let go of the old and traditional ways and enhance the teaching standards so our youth can get create a better world.
