Indian
Education system is more restricted and curriculum centric wherein a teacher
finishes the task by covering the syllabus. The role of a teacher has become
narrower and system determined.The students are more interested in cramming the
lessons rather than trying to understand the essence of them in real life.The
grades decide a person’s intelligence.
Knowledge is largely forgotten after the semester
exams are over. Still, year after year students focus on cramming information
because that is how it works. The best crammers are rewarded by the system.
This is the biggest flaw of our education system. Our education system believes in producing a master in
everything rather than trying to understand that each individual has his/her
own capability which can be groomed to take the best out of him/her.Risk taking
is mocked by restricting everything to marks. Our testing and marking systems
need to be rebuilt to recognize original contributions, in form of creativity,
problem solving, original research and innovation. If this happens
successfully Indian education system will change overnight.
Memorizing is no learning; the biggest flaw in our education system is perhaps that it incentives memorizing above originality.We need to make sure that students
are given wings to fly their way.Each person is an individual with his/her own
talent and flaw.We need to learn to appreciate innovation and risk taking in
students.Opening new avenues of success by providing information and not encouraging mugging things just for the sake of scoring good marks.
Our
Education system might produce the highest number of Engineers but we still
end up outsourcing work for international clients rather than having new ideas
and making other countries outsource our work. The goal of our new education
system should be to create entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, scientists,
thinkers and writers who can establish the foundation of a knowledge based
economy rather than the low-quality service provider nation that we are turning
into slowly and slowly.
Rather
than following the traditional way of teaching we can offer online courses to
students & give them the privileged to choose courses of their choice.
Students like interactive studies rather than traditional text book studying.
Online Learning is coming up as a great
boom in this concern. Online Courses are giving a different edge to our
education system. Online courses help in completing education in a flexible and
convenient way. We can substantially introduce the blended education system for
our students to make learning a fruitful experience.
