The education system needs serious reforms

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.

Hi guys,

Lets understand that the world works on a set of rules and the rules are set up by the people who have power balance in their hands.

We the Indians are almost 17.5% of the planet, which is a major concern to be considered worldwide.

Setting up rules is a battle of ideas, so to over these we have to get like into the WTO like into UNO.

And set the rules for the entire world and to reach where we want to be.

Today 60% of the economy is affected by global trading and staying away is not an option anymore and we have to play by the rules and we have to engage with the rule setter, participate with them and also there is a need in a practical implementation of the knowledge.

Adoption of the western educational system in Indian is a failure one because we are inculcated into the ancient system of Gurukul education system so there is need to habituate the present type of educational system in the minds of students also just like Korean is doing.

Rankings are considered major concerns as it attracts the worlds best faculty to teach in India.

Also in rankings we have to make a important measurable rather making measurable important.

In India education system is pretty bad. They don't teach kids to be creative, all they care about is good grades. Kids don't know anything that's outside their textbook. Anyone can get good grades by reading same material over and over but does he really understand it? no.

It's very important to understand kids and since our country is going through population crisis, no one really cares about kids. Parents pop them out like candies and throw them in school. Teachers beat them up if they don't perform good, they come home and parents beat them up. It's damaging psychologically and emotionally. These kids grow up and repeat the same cycle as their parents because they don't know any better.

Modi needs to spend more time in US and learn their education system and then bring that same process here. Getting good grades is useless when you can't apply that same education in real world and make it useful.

Indian education system is correct. Because in India the teacher are giving firstly knowledge is what is our culture and how to respect our elder. And in other countries the rasio of suside for the stress (study) is very high to India.

It is very difficult for parents to decide which board to select. I think there should be a uniform system of education.

After reading many of the answers given here, I felt an urge to express my views on educational reforms. Literally speaking I don't think that what all is taught to the creative minds at school really defines knowledge. In reality, it's just a piece of writing until a student is able to understand it. Until class 10th none of the students try to understand some material but now they start understanding it because of boards. But the students who were understanding every bit of the knowledge given to them since the starting become frustrated because the repeated thought they get to hear that 10th is the base and you have to score well.

That student who understood everything comes to 11th selecting his subjects which he loves to study and that, for instance, is PCM that is non-med. He didn't know beyond that stuff (about competitions) that he loved studying these subjects. HE took these not to become an engineer rather he just wanted to study these for the sake of gaining knowledge. Also that he was interested in machines and he had started repairing them since he was 9! But the disappointment comes when he gets to know that what is left is just solving numerical. Another thing that comes to his mind is the frustration caused due to studies and getting good rank in coaching centers. He didn't get time now for repairing machines because his parents want him to become an engineer only. THEY have their own expectations of him.

The story doesn't end here. THE difference in class 10 and 11 studies makes him think of suicide and in the end he is murdered because of these CBSE authorities who don't actually know how to frame an education system where the difference between class 10 and 11 is huge where children don't know what they have to become ; where students just know how to get marks and not think about their study material.

That is the story of the majority of the students.

School, universities, the college become a business now. Parents want to teach their child at a better school but as a fee, they stop thought. First-Class child fees are nearly 4 or 5 thousand and the parents admit their child to a government school.

So only hoping for an improvement in our education system as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Take an example: No of students in engineering was very small in 5 years ago but gradually increasing the rate of multiple times and last 2 year no. Of students in engineering is decreasing. Proof of this fact is that the no. Of seats in engineering all over India is about 18 lakhs & students admitted about 12 lakhs in last year. So, our mentality has changed. There is no need to go in one direction the opportunity is anywhere.

So, I can say that our education system is going to be the best education system in the World.

In all school foreign language should be introduced and given more importance. Moreover sports activities and other cultural activities should be given equal importance as subject studies.

Well, everyone cogitates that having degrees and masters in abroad will give us a good life, but it's a counterfeit statement in my guess because education is constant everywhere. Education doesn't matter actually but the talent behind the education matters most. Even we had Arya Bhata who invented 0 and they had Albert Einstein and many more masters, even Microsoft CEO is from India right. Everyone has their own attitude and their own passion.
