Should we change the present system of education in our country?

Hello friends, according to me, present Indian education system should be changed not only for making the students literate but also to develop India. Education is the thing which is very important for each and every citizen of the country. But now a days, people are making this education as a business. Especially the private schools in our country are commercially running the schools only for the purpose of money and their sake. And moreover the parents are also getting ready to join their children in a well famed school. They are not thinking about the interest of their particular children, simply they want to join their children in a rich school. For example, consider Bhasyam school, this kind of schools only want their students to get more marks they are treating the students as a machine. The main achievement of these kind of schools is to get marks and percentage. They don't want knowledge. The only thing they want is "good fame". So as to get a good fame, they not even permit their students to play at least an hour. If a student is forced to study by simply byhearting process, then how can he get a knowledge over the subject. This is not d correct method. The students should be given a drill hour, drawing hour and other curricular activities for at least twice or thrice of a week. Then he or she can be able to concentrate on studies without any stress. So in my changing the education system is a good idea.

Yes, we must have to change the education system in our country because most of the people in our country are illiterate because of those old methods in education sector. As we see in our country education became a huge problem as compare to other countries because in that country education system is different in terms of methods, teaching, understanding, gaining knowledge, giving knowledge. Because they work smartly the classes as well as lectures in colleges where smart in those countries which eliminates the gap between urban and rural peoples. Peoples of those countries do whatever course they want from whichever college or university while sitting in their own place. But nowadays India is also improving as compare to early days. Our country is also working for this system as our prime minister Narendra Modi launched a project digital India which helps us a lot in education sector also.

But the major problem is that for this project we need digital devices and everybody should not how to operate them then only the system of education will change which take years to complete. So as per my point of view, there must be both kind of system until when all the population of our country does not try to work over these systems properly otherwise most of them will not get the benefit of this particular act so both smart classes, as well as actual classes, must be there for a couple of years. Thanks have a good day.

Hello everyone,

I think the present system of education in our country should be transformed, as we are only more into theoretical knowledge, and less concerned about extra-curricular activities. Indian parents are more concerned about their children being a professional degree holder, rather than being in sports, cine field, politics and other areas. In our school days, in a week 1-2 PT periods would be scheduled at the start of the year, and I am pretty sure that we would have hardly got 50% of those periods at the end of the academic year, as those periods will be taken for course completion from various subject teachers, then how can we expect our country to win more medals in Olympics, how can we excel and form a decent team in various sports? In our College life, we would have learnt various subjects related to our stream, but the most important thing for an interview, entrance tests is Aptitude, which I highly doubt that most colleges teach or train. Presently our country faces the problem of unemployment, which is caused by most of the youths who are forced into pursuing a professional degree unwillingly, maybe they could have been an expert in any other fields, on the other hand, who have a good professional knowledge migrate to foreign countries for more salary demands or due to unemployment and improve that country's economy, then how do you expect our country to develop economically?

Hello people,

As our topic is that should we change the present system of Education in our country.

Yes, to some extent, but not on a whole. Because Change is a necessary tool which symbolises the growth. But our Education system has been evolved from saints to highly qualified scholars. The upgradation in the learning methods can be modified or overlooked. As we know that one's country development is measured by the transport system and also by literacy rate, which cannot be altered in sense.

One of my friend Sreelakshmi said that modern technologies make the learning better. Yes, I agree but to note that more the comforts, retards the interest in gaining an education.

And I disagree with one of my friend Ashwini. B that we cannot compare our country with western countries for the practical sense of acquiring knowledge, which may be the best-suited method of learning, As we know that the hindrances like population, illiteracy, etc, primarily to be concerned than about the way of learning because just by making the people literate, doesn't aids in growth. And to add, India has no comparison in culture, hard-working nature which makes a huge difference. Only the way of teaching which from many decades being a convention, need not be changed all at a time but should be concentrated on What to learn than How to learn.

Indeed we need to change our present education system. If we take a look at the education system of our country and abroad country than there is a vast difference between them. We are still carrying a books n pens for jotting down the notes n equivalents but in foreign country, even the students in schools are carrying the laptop for jotting down the points n notes. This not only helps them to note down the points but also help them to become familiar with technology. On the other hand even many some of our college students don't know how to operate computers than what could we expect from our school students. Also, our education system is more of theoretical rather than practical. We are still reading those books which have been written by someone else long years back. We are reading others views, opinions, beliefs etc. And following them. I think our education system should be more practical rather than theoretical because what people learn in their teenage are going to apply in their future years which in turn going to decide the future of our country. Therefore it is important to provide quality education to people because education is the only source which forms the foundation and base for the progress of a country.

Yes, of course. Even as a ninth grade student, I have to say that there should be a change in the Indian education system. First of all, the number of exams, there are literally four exams you take while if you take a look at other countries, like USA, they have one final exam. In India, the education system focuses more on marks and grades, even though teachers ask us to not focus on marks but on learning, but finally they are the ones awarding the first ranker.

I have managed to score good grades and have been awarded but it now gets like a thing like I HAVE to again get the award, because here, just marks matter. The colleges also just focus on your ranks and grade. Even the contents of chapters are such which require mugging up and the exams also ask such questions.

Due to these exams, students don't get proper time for their other interests too. Like you have first exam in July, then September, then November, then February. They have such short intervals, it's hard to take time out from studying.

Indian education system puts an enormous burden on kids, which should change. Personally, I love the education system of USA and would really suggest that some changes be adapted from their system.

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.

Hello everyone.

The present education system in India is good. Of course changes may be needed but one thing that doesn't compare with other countries education because our country is different compared to other countries like our lifestyle, language, religion, source of income, caste, way of living, etc are different even we are in 2nd place in world largest population here it is not possible to do many changes at a time it will take some time. Many schools made education as a business due to these remaining schools targeting on making the student to score good marks but education means not only scoring marks it should include many extra circular activities it should motivate the person it should drive the person towards his dreams we change like update in syllabus according to me technology is changing for every minute second there should update in syllabus to the existing technology should be given provide both theoretical and practical knowledge and to give strong basics In education which should make students to survive in competitive world and should adopt to the technology and most important consists of ethics which make the students to drive as a goal oriented.

Thank you.

Hi friends,

Yes. It's high time to change the present education system prevailing in India. As we are still following the traditional methods of teaching and are more theoretical. Firstly the theoretical approach should be changed by the teachers and should focus on practical approach. Smart work is better than hardwork. Another point is that the students should be given enough freedom to opt for the course in his/her interest. It is advisable to follow this only after the high school level. As it will excel them in their interested fields.

Another problem of Indian educational system is that there exists the gap between rich and poor people, even in the case of students. Only upper-class children are getting the chance to study in Pvt. Schools as they are more focused on personality and language. At the same time, middlle class people are sending their children to state syllabus normal schools. It is mainly bcc of the difference in fee structure. This division should me reduced. Government should make provision for providing children with good standard of education. Then only we can develop the knowledge and standard of living of the people.

Yes, the present education system should be changed, because, education is the backbone and the future of our future generation. Today's education system totally focused on the exam and there is competition between the students for getting higher marks. It is not focused on all over-development and also does not fulfil the present-day need. In my mind there are some basic questions related to the present education system:
1. Is fulfil the purpose?
2. In spite of a number of efforts of Education policies and commissions, is it giving the right directions to the students and teachers?
3. Is it fulfilled the objectives of 21st century and Democratic Citizenship?

In the light of above questions following are my suggestions for improvement: 1. Syllabus should be bassed on the knowledge of practical life, so the students can learn and know about health, descipline, character formation, moral values, citizenship rights and duties and day to day life activities like the knowledge of bank, post office, telegram, Railway, Govt. Rules and regulations etc. Hope, the National Education Policy 2020 will change a lot and can bring the the changes needed.
