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.

We should change our present education system. It is mainly based on theoretical knowledge. A student cannot get enough practical knowledge from this education system. Moreover, students are unable to choose those subjects which they have a true interest. The main course of our country is unemployment. So that, many students forced to choose those subjects which are capable to give a decent job. For this reason, students lost their interest to that subject. In India, we can not get enough infrastructure and faculty for every subject. We only like to get good marks in every exam. We are not concerned about gaining knowledge. Many students could not understand what have they learned. It is due to the complex, theory-based subjects. We need to change our education system. Students have the right to choose their own subject which gives them enough interest. Less theory and more practical knowledge based education encourage people to study more.

Hello,

The last change that took place in the Indian education system was in 2020 and before that in 1986. But it takes many years to implement the new education system thoroughly. I Agree with one comment that nowadays, more parents are not trying to understand their children. Whenever their child is lacking in anything the only solution they have is to join a Coaching.

They never let him/her solve it by himself/herself. They should know that every child is special in himself. Rather than focusing on marks, they should force him to solve any problem that comes to him by himself. They should not let their child be dependent on coaching institutions which itself make money except some institutions. Nd I strongly recommended that after the 10th standard, it should make compulsory for a student to do at least one internship of his/her choice. By this, he/she will practice in life. And their concepts towards life will be logical.

Hi everyone, yes the present education system has to be changed. Because the technology is developing very rapidly and if we people go on studying this old syllabus and teaching methods then obviously we face too much difficulties when student goes it of college and they should compete globally in the world. What I want to say is we are getting only theory knowledge rather than the practical knowledge. In order to get the job we have to be well in practical then only you can get the job are something else. Because most of the parents and even some school they want only result, there is no wrong in this but at the same time make their children's to be creative and to have or learn the special skills. Now a days the students are mug up the things and reproduce in the examinations but once you try to ask them about the same topic which is for the exam. They not able to give the answers. This is real fact about education.

Yes. The present system of education in our country requires modification.

I say this, because, since a very early age, we are made to focus more on the theoretical knowledge without laying stress on the physical aspects of that knowledge gained. Majority of students are made to concentrate on securing high marks, irrespective of the amount of knowledge they are learning. Carrying heavy bags to school, coming back with loads of homework are an added pressure on the child at a very early age.

In this later stage of schooling, children have to choose their careers without knowing anything about the course they are going to take. Parents and guardians may force them to take up which eventually may spoil their career out of interest.

Hence, more stress should be laid on learning rather than cramming in our education system. Co-curricular activities should also be made an important part of the curriculum.

The level of development and progress of a country could be known from the standard of education imparted to its masses. Education plays a very crucial role in building up the overall development structure of a nation. The present education structure of our country is quite satisfactory but it has few loopholes. These drawbacks can be culled out by making few amendments in the present system.

The major problem with our education system is that it is not student friendly, there is a lot of burden on the students. Moreover the syllabus is more theoretical rather than being practical. The students should be given more practical training so that they can grasp everything more easily and efficiently.

In bringing such changes, the teachers should take the initiative at their own level so that they can help the students to bring out their best capabilities and turn them into their best abilities.

Education system definitely needs to be changed, Finland has the finest education system in the world, their students ranked highest in English reading comprehension, science and mathematics in PISA test among European countries. Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, south Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, China among other countries performing well. India sadly pulled out of international PISA test in 2015 and participated only in 2009.

School education system in India is highly theoretical with less practicals and group work and projects. Foreign countries stress more marks on practical work and project work and internships. Job related skills should be taught to increase employability. Industrial training and practical project work should be given importance. Also even in higher education students should be given the option to change streams in order to change careers. These options are more on US.

Yes, of course, the present system of education in our country should be changed according to my opinion.

The first thing is that the level of education should be increased so that our students can compete the other country's students. In other countries, students focus on new technologies and use smart technologies to study. And in India, we learn after school time. So we should learn all those things in our schools.

And the other thing is that the education system should be equal for all students, as we see in govt school teachers are not well educated and that's why poor students can't compete the higher school students. In village students are unable to get education properly they have to go far away. So govt should focus on those students and should provide online study and learn about new technologies. So that in India the unemployment level can be reduced.

Yes, we should change our education system.

In the government school, Tamil medium students are lagging to write and speak English. In todays competitive world students must know to communicate well and should have English fluency. So the teachers should compulsorily conduct the soft skill classes in the school level.

In the college level, teachers should understand the corporate scenerio by attending the internship. So that they can equip themselves better and teach the students better.

In the educational institutions, everyday an updated english word should be discussed among the staff members and used in every classes they go. So that the students will learn a word daily.

While starting the new topic, teachers must compulsorily give the theoretical explanation to the students and make them aware about the topic which will create interest to the students.

In my opinion, all of the schools are not like that, but in some schools are improved a lot in way of thinking And Way of teaching.

In some government and some private schools changing the system.

And the present education system in some schools are only person marks purpose. But they don't want to think that after the school age children will not to improve their levels.

And not to think in carefully about that subject. Every people will be reading which questions are told by their teachers. And not to think in our own ways.

Children will be thinking in their own ways that thing is good are bad, but in our present education system will be lost there ability.

So our present education system will be developed in some what.

Not to telling by teachers and also have some practical knowledge by using seeing the digital classes on their particular subject.
