I think that the education system of our country needs much change. The only change it needs is that it should include more practical learning so that both theory and practice are well balanced. But the mindset of the people should change the grade based mindset to skill based mind set.

In many families in India, it is seen that if the child is intelligent then he is forced to choose science and choose engineering or medical as a career regardless of his interest and liking. Also if he by any chance goes by his interest and chooses humanities then the society will think that he is an average or low scorer in his school. This mentality if the people of our country is the only problem I the present system of education and this should change.

Hi friends,

As we all know, India is well know for its education across many countries and Indians are doing great in various sectors within and also outside the country. So in my view, the present system is good but it can be made best by having some minor changes. Such as,

1. By giving awareness in the rural areas where there are many bright students but they do not even know about the opportunities waiting for them.

2. By making some amendments in the reservation policy. Reservation is necessary for the upliftment of lower classes but It is unfair with the one who is deserving more, therefore, there must be some provision that these students can avail reservation on one or two levels only not on all levels till job.

That's all I want to say. Thank you.

Hello,

According to me, we have to change the present system of education in our country because nowadays school are doing business of earning money. They just don't care who is really success. The student scoring 99 marks don't get seats in available college but they are stopped because the student scoring less marks get admissions because of money.

The most important part parents teachers have to focus on how much their child is gaining the knowledge but not stress the child by telling him or her to get full marks and to top the class or college. In this way children mug up the topics but don't understand what's the actual meaning they don't know. This mugging up will help in topping the class or college but will not help in future in jobs because jobs needs creativity, practical knowledge not the theoretical knowledge. So in my opinion the more advanced technology must be brought in India to just lesser down the burden of books and increasing the practical knowledge.

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.

Hello, friends in my view, I think the current education system is not up to the mark the system only stresses on theoretical knowledge and not on practical one whereas in western countries they stress more on practical education which leads to innovation flow of new technology development etc that does not mean that we should completely opt for practical knowledge but I think after studying 13-14 years in pre-nursery & higher secondary at least we should stress on practical knowledge. Thank you.

Hi friends,

Many changes are to be applied in our country's education system these are as follows.

1) Extra curriculum activities should be given equal preference as academics because this will give respect and confidence to all the students who have some creative thinking.

2) we study the traditional knowledge of our science subjects that puts basics in our mind but these are meaningless without proper labs because science does not want bookworms but wants practical applications.

3) In our country, govt. Schools have poor infrastructure, poor facilities, even some have poor teaching faculty due to the neglect of our govt that meal nourishes the talent of poor students because poor students can't afford a high fee of private schools.

4) there is competition by private schools to get merits in 12th board due to which they skip concepts of 11 th class and start 12 th syllabus in 11 th class that make students unable to crack IIT exams so it should be made compulsory to count both 11th and 12th marks in college selection list and merit system of board should be removed.

5) govt should be strict for practical exams.

Thanks.

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.

Education is the most powerful weapon which we can use to change the world.

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

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 radical.

I hope present education system should be changed. Nowadays most of the educational institutions run for the money, for lkg student fee nearly more than 1 lakh. How a middle-class man can educate their child. So I thought we should change our present education system.

Good day everyone.

Well when it comes to education, India has not changed its viewpoint and still continues to consider that Mark's, percentage, grades are the only outcome of true learning.

Western education was introduced here during colonial times. And In those days the ones how were well educated joined higher jobs whereas the ones who did bad joined in black collar jobs or became soldiers.

As money was and is. The only source for a good position in society. The idea of "scoring =learning " didn't change.

Now what MUST be changed is our perception of understanding what 'learning' is.

And the system of teaching must change in a way where the students inner talent is recognized as well as his/her field of interest must be taken into consideration and accordingly they should be taught in such a way that they can stand on their feet and contribute their skills and experience to the development of our society.

Well, this is my view.

Thanks.
