The education system needs serious reforms

Indian govt is spending only 3% of its GDP on education.

Whereas USA is spending 5.4% of its GDP, Brazil is spending 5.7% of its GDP and China invest heavily in its students and universities.In the Times higher education world reputation Rankings 2016, China could grab the ninth position in the top 100 universities list. So Indian govt needs to invest at least 4% of its GDP for the education

The education reforms need a huge reform. It need to change from the base itself, That is from the year a child goes to school. I am 21 and I still don't know what my passion is? I feel I should take an initiative to not let this happen to my future generation.

Am planning to start something out of this idea in Surat which would change the thinking abilities of students and help them cater to their career more smoothly.

As of my opinion, We need to start at the very beginning and reform the entire educational system, worldwide. Every continent, every country, every state/province/Borough. I genuinely believe that if we want to push progression as a race we need to provide more and a much better system than now to help get our younger and up and coming generations to the kind of position where they have useful skills and have been taught on a more individual level rather than grouped by ages which is what we do now, people should be grouped based on intelligence and ability to pick up/learn new skills/topics.

A petition to the person in charge of the UK educational system would be good, might not get us where we want right now but would hopefully make the government and governing bodies look at our existing system differently.

It is completely out-dated and needs to be changed as soon as we can.

We are currently the most destructive things/species residing on earth and if we want to stay here we need to provide our generations to come with the skills to fix and progress further in a beneficial way, things that will solve or give us more time to fix our issues that previous generations have created. Eg. Radiation in multiple countries still, due to nuclear weapons being used nearly a hundred years ago, if not over. Our fossil fuel crisis and shortage we currently have. We need an education system that will progress certain student if interested into understanding nuclear fission and other non-detrimental ways of creating renewable energy. As a start, things like wind turbines. Dams using water to turn turbines to create electricity which is then used in multiple ways. We need to keep progressing with the idea of renewable energy. Sources may change but the idea and discoveries to push us further aren't going to come from generations who already exist and for the most part believe fossil fuels are our only/best option for energy, be it electricity, gases that can be used on a global scale without impacting the earth and its atmosphere, including the 'ozone' layer further than what we are doing now.

Pretty much a rant but something needs to be done and something needs to kick-start and spread this ideology. Without it we are due to become extinct within a few hundred years if that, which on the big picture of things is very little time. We as a race will cause self-extinction centuries before our sun died out and we are forced to change planets/change our planet (earth) in a way for us to survive which again in the big picture of things is a huge problem and we should be trying to avoid it at all costs before things are too late for our race and many others.

The earth is self-regenerating, even after we are gone, even of every special of animals, mammals, reptiles etc alike become extinct the earth will regenerate and a new or existing species will come into play and become in some regards (top of the food-chain/most advanced species and they will populate earth). We have limited time and something needs to change in a very big way in ord right for us to survive anymore they a few hundred years from now.

In foreign country, there is flexibility of subjects but in India we don't have so many options also our education is not updated ones it is not practical. There should be English medium only and more extra curricular activities and teachers do play imp role as well.

Also one more thing to add the admission process should be based completely on marks not on reservation got to scheduled caste because it will be bad for student doing hard work but getting no admission.

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.

Hi friends, according to me, the educational system should be in a 90 percent practical class it will better and one of the easiest way to understand and students were come out from mugging the theoretical classes.

Hi, I am Prabisha. I would like to tell that Indian education is providing a free and compulsory education till the age of 14.

And in my view, in ancient India Gurukula System was existed which provides more cultural and ethical values along with the education.

For E.G: Before colonisation of India Britain had failed many attempts to conquer India, finally they found out the root of their failure- they found out that India's culture back then was strong enough which they maintain through their education system. And then Britain could conquer India by convincing that their education is better than ours by destroying the Indian education.

Thank you.

Hello every one,

In my point of view, education system should change, nowadays theoretical 80% and practical 20% so students are just focusing get mark and for gaining knowledge theoretical and practical should be 50-50%.

And teaching method should improve.

Hi. Friends.

In my point of view, education is must reform the process of studying and teaching techniques many numbers of studying only to mug up and get the highest score how they are doing in practical they are nothing to do.

In our education 70% theory 30% practical in my opinion it will definately change the system of teaching students.

We all agree with this opinion.
