Brief Analysis Of The Indian Education System



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.
