I think our education system doesn't provide us chances to give yourself time for recreation. It is based on theory and not practical based intellectual knowledge in countries like Japan vocational training is provided from sixth grade onwards as compared to India. So our education system should be changed in such a way that students get adamant and say that they want to study, let them go!

The biggest problem in our education system is the mentality that our parent and students has set, which is the better marks you get, the better you are in studies and better job you will get. Due to this each and every field brings out few quality students because most of the students mug up the theories and concepts, and they don't know where to apply it.
So our education system need to change this mentality and establish more of practical knowledge through experiment, projects, live examples, etc. Many of the renowned private institutions have changed the way of teaching, but the government schools still need a lot to work upon it. As we have 70% of rural population and every student cannot pay such high fees of a private college or school.

Hi friends.
There are some good and bad things in our education system.
First of all, the private schools and colleges are started to get money for the people not for providing education. In most of the private institutions they get more fees from the people but they won't teach in a good way.
It can provide visual education to students to remember easily. It should also provide education to the poor people to increase the standard of living of people.

In my point of view, definitely we should change our education system. Because in state board examination (12th standard) having subjects like maths, physics, chemistry, computer science, biology these only. These also important.
But what I am going to say is, the CBSE students learned C, C++, Java, HTML those programming languages in school days itself, but state board student doesn't know anything about that languages.
During the college period CBSE students can learn again those concepts. But state students only facing the troubles like me. So present education system should be change. No private schools, colleges. All are should be same.

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.

Hello friends.
I want to suggest a few points in rural areas government schools providing elementary education as free education. And it is compulsory for the teacher to pass the student so that students are not learning anything. Their fundamental base is not clear and for this they face many problems in higher studies.
And teachers are also not explaining anything in class they simply dictate the things and completing the class. As they are Govt teacher, student can't do anything to them because if they do so, then he/she will cut practical mark of their student. So the current education system should give more emphasis on selection of good teachers for the student.

In my opinion the standard of teaching is the main problem in the education system. Even if there are limited resources in the school if the teachers are actually teaching instead of reading from the textbook, the more learning will take place.
In educational institutions in richer countries and in private schools we expect the standard of education to be higher. We also expect the students to have access to better resources. If the money is available then it can be spent on better resources so students can learn through doing experimentation, etc. Also money can be spent on training teachers at the educational institution and providing better salary for teaching staff.
The sad thing is in some schools (private and government) even if the resources are there they are simply collecting dust. It is much easier to teach a lesson without having to prepare for using the resources. This is laziness, but also due to lack of time to complete all the portions.
But the reality in India is that the required money is not readily available for most educational institutions. So students and teachers are managing with limited resources. That does not mean the students cannot be well educated. Using lots of resources are not the only way to teach students well. Lessons can be practical without having to spend money on buying expensive resources if the teachers and leaders of the schools plan and prepare good lessons for the students.
Question books and textbooks they are a resource. There are lots of ideas for activities in them also. But I think that's a good idea is for teachers to share and discuss ideas in meetings and record them in the scheme of work for each subject. Then teachers can prepare for lessons more easily and provide more practical lessons. Even ideas like taking the students outside to demonstrate something or taking students to the library to research a topic can make lessons more practical.
I also feel that if the lessons were longer (closer to 1 hour instead of 30 minutes) it would be easier to teach the subjects more thoroughly. Three part lesson, including different types of activities that can be used to remind students what they have learned or assess their understanding of the topic.
Finally, if education is conducted in a language both the student and teacher are most familiar with the communication of ideas will flow more easily and more learning will take place. This is why the regional language medium of instruction (in private or government school) is beneficial to the students. The standard of teaching and the learning environment in a school will be good if there is good management and teachers do their duty for the students. Education is not just about blindly following rules or a system. The aim should be to always to try to improve the system and impart knowledge and good values to the students.

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.

The education in India not to bad. For the public exam, most of the students just copy and paste in an exam. This is thing are going on nowadays. For the 12th standard from 11th itself taking 12 the classes. They don't know about the studies. They just copy and paste.
The parents should leave the children's options to study some of them an interest in computer science and some of them in biology, commerce, etc. But the parents thinks that the biology is good for our children and the student can't study and less mark.
For the students just learn about their studies in YouTube with the clear knowledge. When reading the subjects just read and see related some animations videos about the you are reading and their applications. This will helpful to enrich knowledge.
For most of them in college also copy and paste so that only they don't get any core company.
Stop studying and start learning.

Like everything education system of India have both positive as well as negative points. The main focus is on increasing the quantity of the education. The students are made to cram the things and they have no knowledge of the basic concepts.
We need the best education system in India. The best system not the most expensive.
