Hi Friends,

According to me, today's education is only for scoring marks. There is no knowledge of the subject. Students are focused on getting marks only.

Education system should change for 50% theory and 50% practical classes. Then only students have much more interest to do something innovative.

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, the education system in India needs some serious reform in its structure because we are living in a professional world and if we want to get success in this professional world then we have to acquire skills. And that is the area where education system of India needs to be improved because current education system of India is not focusing on skills they are only focusing on getting good marks that's the drawback of our education system now students are only learning they're not exploring they learn each and everything that is written in the book they are not curious enough to get the concept and explore the idea behind it they learn everything like a parrot and write it in exams and after the exams everything that they have learned is flushed away from their minds. That's the problem of our education system that students are only learning they are not exploring.

Yes they can get good Marks but they can never get such skills that they need to established themselves in this professional and competitive world. And this is also the most important reason behind unemployment in India because if they don't have such real world skills then how they can get a good job how they can survive. Good marks are not the only thing that you need to have to get a job you need skills and our education system is not providing these skills that's why we should learn from other countries countries like Holland. Holland is a country who is known for it's quality Education in this country children don't have to carry such heavy bags they have smart classes in every school they teach them professionally teach them the concept they teach them the idea that they need to know that they need to explore and in this country teachers never put so much burden on the student that you have to do homework everyday there is no homework in this country that's what we need to learn and bring in our education system too. And also the methodology that is currently in our education system is so outdated we need to adopt some new and fresh methodology to teach. We need to minimize the dependency on the books we need to focus more and more on smart classes because smart classes is the medium which can engage the child to learn. I don't know how anyone can teach such a tricky subject like science without engaging the student and if you only focus on bookish language then the student will get bored so we need to bring smart classes in school and teach students by using smart classes that can make a huge impact on the entire education system. And also it again minimises the dependency on books and also by that students get rid of such heavy bags. One another point is that are education system is becoming corrupt day by day and the ratio of corruption is increasing very fast now you can take an admission in any college without getting selected in the cutoff list by giving them a donation because nowadays education Institute becomes business there running their business. For them it doesn't matter if a boy who is super talented and gets a good marks don't get admission in college and the boy who is not that talented and without getting selected in cutoff list he's getting admission by just giving a donation that's a very very serious concern for us we need to raise our voice against it. Nowadays you can easily get a degree of any subject without giving an exam by just giving some money to the Institute and that is the biggest concern that we have to address.

There are lots of rules that is made by government to give free education to the student who cannot afford the fees of big schools there is right to education that stats that every school must reserve 25 percent seats for the student who can't afford there fees and government is paying for them but still there are lots of schools who are not implementing this they are not reserving seats for the for students. That's why the government has to implement this rule strictly and also the government should give a scholarship to those who can't afford the fees.

To conclude this I would like to say that we are a developing nation and if you want to become a developed nation then we need to invest more and more on our biggest future assets which is our children we need to make our education system the best education system of this world to produce the best talent. The talent that can beat the world and can make India great again.

I think our education system needs to be changed. Because in this system, only theoretical knowledge are given but we need practical knowledge. Today students are focused on only scoring good marks but they should need to focus on knowledge.

Please I want everyone to note and think over the facts of education system which I am presenting below:

1) The CBSE board is playing with future of students of India by creating cheap standard ncert books which do not have proper information and students have to go for another help books and they lose money.

2) The main focus is to fit theoretical concepts in mind and no practicals are performed.

3) The cbse board maths paper 2013 and 2015 were beyond the level of a school students and out of syllabus and only those performed well who could afford expensive coaching classes proving that poor people stand nowhere.

4) The Childhood is becoming hell nowadays due to excessive pressure of many subjects which are not used in our real life. There should be one major subject of students interest according to will of each individual student and average level knowledge of other subjects should also be given.

5) No homework should be there. No out of syllabus exams as we also have to think of weak students.

6) Board exams should be abolished as there are competitive exams enough for judging the ability of students in India. School boards are unnecessary burden on children.

7) There should be low education fee structure so that poor can also afford good education.

8) We all have to remember that marks and knowledge are independent of each other. One scoring 90% may have less knowledge than one scoring 70%.

9) The exam level of schools should be of basic level which can make students learn concepts without stress and there should not be rat race in education as the marks scored below +2 and graduation level hardly matters.

10) At last, we are not donkeys to work in big companies. We should abolish preference to theoretical knowledge as it only creates donkeys. Theory originates from practical. If there is practical knowledge than theoretical knowledge automatically fits in mind.

Thats all about it. Hope some intelligent people understand what I am trying to say and foolish people please ignore this article.

Hi friends,

So, far we have discussed the quality of Indian education system. Now, I would like to add another aspect regarding the education system. According to me, the serious issue we are facing in the Indian education sector is that although we belong to the same country and always talk about equality if we look at our education system we can see inequality everywhere. Starting from the primary school our kids are studying different syllubus, say one kid go for cbsc another go for state syllubus etc. This is the major issue in our system. We need one syllubus for everyone and that syllubus should be a standardised revised version of everything which can bring our young generation upfront with creativity and courage.

Yes, in my opinion, Indian education system really needs changes because nowadays so many people are jobless. Why? mean due to lack practical knowledge. Especially most engineering people are jobless because of lack of practical knowledge. In engineering, they are reading and clearing subject after completion of BE some are jobless because of a communication problem and practical knowledge problem. So finally, request to Indian government give proper education and especially do improvement in English communication in schools and colleges and also improve practical knowledge.

From my point of view, there must be a change in the education system.

- Talented people should join the teaching profession.

1. First of all, there should be a more Practical curriculum in our syllabus. This is the major cause of lack of knowledge regarding the subject. There should be case studies in our syllabus.

2. There should be sports including in our curriculum. Sports brings mental freshness and students can focus on their studies better.

If in a school, there is the only study, then the students feel exhausted during the time of last lectures.

3. If sports are in our curriculum, then some students may choose it as their career.

4. Most of the syllabus of our subjects without new technology.

- The syllabus should be updated periodically.

5. Teachers need to use projectors, presentations or smart classes. I believe that the visual learning is far better than bookish study.

6. Last but important: One nation one board should be there.

7. Option to select the subject related interest.

Hi, friends my name is Gurmeet Singh.

According to me, Indian education system needs reform. Because we are studying same syllabus till so many years now time has been come to take some steps and improve our education quality. We should change all pattern of our current education system. Because current education system focusing 80% theoretical knowledge and 20% practical. We can also learn from foregien countries where students focus more and more practical knowledge then theoretical knowledge. I can give you example suppose from books you learn from how to repair the laptop but without practical knowledge you can't do this. And other main problem in India education system is reservation in my opinion it should be finished from education system. Instead of caste base reservation we should provide financial base reservation. Those students who are very good in study but due to fees they can't get higher education govt should provide reservation of those students. It's very overarching responsibility of our govt to look out of this matter and take some steps. Because India is devleponing country if we want developed country we will ist to improve our education quality system.

Our Indian education system is not in a correct way, we are still following old British system. Because of this students get only theoretical knowledge, In my point of view, students must have theoretical as well as practical knowledge. Suppose a student learnt theorems and formulas, but does not know how to implement and where to use. Then what is the purpose of by hard theorems and formulas?

Nowadays most of the students only trying to study for the top marks. Every student must have some idea about, What we are studying? Why are we studying? What is the use if this? I am not blaming students, our education system is also like that only. They provide materials with important questions and very important questions like that, and students will come with bookish knowledge.

Present education system focuses more on scores rather than knowledge. We should change our education system rather than only focusing on the theoretical knowledge we should take care of practical implementation. Then our education system will be good and India will be better.

Hey, guys! I almost read 20 to 25 comments above and everyone has expressed their perception towards Indian education system. I understand how it feels. And also I found common points that most of us are trying to say that our Indian education is outdated and about unqualified faculties and also parents compulsion to choose a particular and many more. But let us think for a minute how many of us are really looking for a happiness in life instead of only money making mind. Most of us choose either Engineering or medicine or try for some govt jobs, only to earn money and settle in life. But we don't follow our passion or our area of interest. In our country, we have plenty of options to choose but we are failed to know about that courses, we don't know them. Of course I'm with you guys that our education system needs a change on how to teach students effectively and how to make students to identify their interest and passion. One of our friend above has commented that she is still trying to identify her passion and she is going to start up some career guidance institute, that's good. She can make our younger generation to follow their passion.

How many of us know that we have a stream for dance, performing arts, vocal and many more streams which we always use to think as hobby, instead it's a career for us if we are best at it.

In my point of view education system should try to teach students from classes 1 to 6 about all basics and options for the students to choose their area of interest and teachers should be able to identify the interest and strengths of the student. Parents need to accept their child's interest and allow them to excellence in that field, instead of stopping them. Most of all students need to understand and love what they study. Not for mark's sake. But for enriching them with happenings around and their knowledge.

Even I'm still trying to find what am I good at? I hope before I die I will find it and Once I find I'm sure I'll be the happiest person in the world. Follow your dreams and passion guys, not money. Thanks.
