Hello everyone,

So let's begin. I want to say that youths and students nowadays are dependent on coaching besides mobile phone which has been too week logical capacity of students directly or indirectly and the language of ncert books is too hard it's main problem that students are not interested for to study by ncert books.

Hey guys,

I strongly feel that the current education system cannot contribute to a better future of our country. This is because:

1. The current education system in India was designed during the 1800's when the industrial revolution was at full swing. At that time, all they wanted were workers who should not be creative, but follow exactly as told. This same system cannot be applicable to the current times as the progress rate nowadays is exponentially very large compared to the last centuries. At these times, we need people who are creative enough to solve real-life problems with multiple solutions and not a class of people who follow orders.

2. The current curriculum makes students feel that Education has only a limited range (STEM subjects+history and geography) , whereas in reality, there are a lot of fields that a person can learn and get the knowledge from. (art, entrepreneurship, youtubers, trainers, etc).

3. The school places a lot of burden on students to memorise a lot of unnecessary facts, but what school's.

Should be doing, is to give less facts but provide a deep understanding on the particular topic and help the students to connect different subjects. Also, they must be given time to play as it is proven that children who play a lot have better understanding capabilities.

4. In today's world, teaching is considered as one of the most poorly paid jobs and hence it becomes the least preference. This causes the teachers to be non-enthusiastic about teaching students.

5. As the student's class increases, their creative activities, such as arts, music, dancing, etc. Are cut down due to the burden of the curriculum whereas in the coming years we would need people who are strong, not only in understanding the information but also those who can use this information in a creative way to solve real-life problems.

6. My last point is about the examination system. The current examination system only supports memorisation but not understanding. The theory of multiple intelligences states that there are different kinds of intelligences, beyond linguistic and logical reasoning. The students who possess such intelligence are treated as dumb whereas those who have memorising capabilities are treated as smart people. People prefer marks over understanding.

Thank You.

Hai Friends.

According to me, obviously we should change our education system in our country. Because of only many institutions are focus in how to get marks in that particular subject. They are not teaching about the subjects. So we should change our education system for not scoring high marks only focus about the learning in subjects.

Thank You.

Yes, we totally should. In India, the education system mainly focuses on the memory or learning power of the student, which tbh is not fair because everyone is not the same, everyone has their own capability and skills, so instead of just focusing on the learning power the system should focus more on the overall development of the student and help them find their true skills and support them so that they don't judge themselves on the basis of marks and can do what they actually love and enjoy.

Hi everyone.

As we here to discuss the topic should we change the present system of education in our country?

From my point of view, we must have to change the education system, there are 2 reasons.

1. The first is in schools every one giving importance to theoretical part rather than practicals, parents and teachers all are focusing on marks of students, they are not seeing that how much a student getting the knowledge of the subject, only they need a good rank and marks.

2. The second thing which we have to change is the conversion of schools into business.

This is also a big issue that nowadays schools are running just for earning money.

The management is not concentrating on the education of a student they are focusing only how much they can earn by the school or from the students.

Hai friends. I'm Lalitha ch.

Yes, the present system of education in our country should be changed. Because present education system is changing like business. Parents of the student wants top rank for their children and school management wants advertisement to improve theirs admissions as well as fee. For that, teachers put more pressure on the student so they just byheart it and remember it for the exam to get good rank but they don't bother about their life. If they read with proper understanding then their knowledge will help settle their lives. Thank you.

Hi, this is Sasikumar today we are going to discuss the present education system. Yes, now the present education system only gives how to memorize things and not practically understandable system. If I get a chance to change the education system, I will follow these following things,

1. Firstly, I would like to change examination type, yes now the examination is just like a story writing and students easily cross the examination without knowing any concepts, so I can change that system into objectives type questions.

2. Second is the practical knowledge development by import exceeds system in education it is possible one.

3. Next, the teaching fellows must have a capacity for developing students, and exactly the faculties must lie in research fields.

4. The education system fully controlled by the only government.

5. Extra activity is an important thing like an entrepreneurship developments, morals, professional ethics, and human quality.

Yes,

We have two type of education system in our country 1st is Government and 2nd is private sector.

Following are my point of thoughts, which should be innovation in education system and in social system.

1. There should not be caste system.

2. Students don't have stress to concentrate on the theoretically should be practically.

3. Teachers and parents need to more well educated and trained to understand about students learning requirement.

4. Government and private sector school and colleges should not treat a like of Business.

5. Educated people should come and participate with uneducated people to understand them about the power of education.

Thank you.

I think the current examination system needs to be improved not changed or replaced.

We must not forget that ours is a large country with millions of children, so rather than focussing on infrastructure government aims to provide education. Changing the education system cannot be changed easily. It will have large-scale implications.

Education is a process to emanate the true potential in every being. It's an evolution to discover the human values encrypted in us.

But today our knowledge hubs such as schools and colleges often become factories that produce some doctors or engineers. To define better, jobless doctors and engineers. Earlier exams were just part of the curriculum. But today the entire curriculum is based on exams. Every School and college aims at the result in the mark sheet. Our focus has changed from quality of the students to the quantity of their A+.

One of the biggest failures of our education system is the lack of practical comprehension in our academics. Children learn to mug up things and reproduce them in the paper. But they forget to think and render the things they have learnt in practical life. We don't have a hand in hand training in our academics. Above all we don't have a purview to update and upgrade the syllabus. We still stick on to the theories formed decades back where now we have new dimensions of scientific explanations coming up challenging the outdated theories.

Education is not just a process to secure a job. But it's a process to sustain the morality our soul inherited.
