The Great Indian Education System!
How majority of Indian Schools work?
Here are the points…
- Indian schools are helping the children to improve their memory power rather than educating.
- A child may or may not understand certain topic, but they have to memorise it and score better grades.
- When a child is more interested in sports or other activities than studies, they're being mocked by their own teachers. They're asked to concentrate less on ‘so called’ Extracurricular activities and more on school subjects.
- A child may be weak theoretically and be strong in practicals. But these schools ask that particular child as why can't he/she memorise those paragraphs.
- My personal experience - I usually read & understand every topic, but not much interested or talented in memorising as it is. I usually write theory in my own words from my understanding. My dad has much interest in Maths & Physics, He's an engineer & also a great tutor. He always teaches various procedures to solve a particular mathematical problem. Once I did my maths exam by solving a problem in a different method, but my teacher just gave 2 out of 10 stating that, my answer was right, but that's not the actual way to solve that particular problem and that two mark is just for the formula. This is what happens every time in many schools.
- There are schools and teachers who value education than memorising. But the number is low compared to the ‘so called’ Top Indian Schools.
- The problem is not only with schools, even some parents ask their children to score good marks, advice them & even force their own kids. They have to understand that marks are just for memory power & that is not how real education works.
- We all know that, the education system we follow is old & introduced by the british to make future Indians be good service men/women for them. That's not education, that's just training to be a good servant. What is the need for us to follow this even now?
- We as society have to understand and start the change from our own home first. Before expecting change from others, we have to change the way we think. Regret the past, work for change & educate your future generation properly.
- There is a popular saying in Tamil Language - “Maatram Ondre Maaraadhadhu”, which means ‘Change is the only permanent thing’. So, we as humans, have to understand and accept the reality and start that change from our own house and family.
Learn, understand & educate!
