The Great Indian Education System

It is always said that, "Students are the future of the Country", but is their education taken as seriously as the government thinks about other political issues?

Well as the citizens we all know the answer. The Great Indian Education System decides the future of more than 1 crore students each year and yet it is not considered a topic of atmost importance. More or less the curriculum that is followed in schools is outdated and focusses mainly on the academics rather than overall growth of the student. In a standard school the teachers are told to focus more on the theories rather than practicals which could have been more useful to the student in the future.

In every educational institution more pressure is given on written assignments which students just copy from the internet and is not useful in their learning process instead it puts extra pressure on them to just complete the assignments rather than giving more time in understanding the practical applications and their overall development.

The Indian Education System is monotonous in the sense that it forces every child to study in the same way and the same concepts even though their skill sets might be completely different than each other. Students are not given the choice to select the subjects of their interest and are constrained to study the same syllabus. The students get more focused on the alloted subjects and syllabus that they lack on developing other skills which can make them unique.

The Indian Education System follows a syllabus which only tests student's memorization capability more than their learning and understanding capabilities. Students just mug up the theoretical concepts a day before examination to score more instead of focusing on the meaning of any concept taught to them. This tendency of students is the result of incompletion of syllabus by the school and college faculties and even then covering the full syllabus in the exam question papers. This pattern of education increases mental pressure on the students and the students who are good the memorising outshine the students who actually have more knowledge on the topic.

The Education System has become a factory with the students as the robots who are taught the same things. If a student raises a strong opinion he/she is silenced. The education system might teach a child how to read and write but it never teaches the Art of Living. But their are always a few faulty robots in the factory of the education system who develop their uniqueness instead of following the same path as everybody and they are the ones who outshine everyone else.

A student's in-depth learning of the theoritical concepts and the practical applications with development in co-curriculars is the only way to the overall growth of the student. The education institutions need to understand this and focus more on learning than on other matters of lesser interest.
