The education system needs serious reforms

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.

Hello friends, I am Pankaj,

I think today what is the education system is running since Lard MacHale’s system, this is the major drawback of our education system, as per that system there are two systems one makes labour and another make who rules on labour.

There should be a single education system and syllabus for all the boards and schools, Government should have control over schools.

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.
