The education system needs serious reforms

Hello everyone.

This is an issue which obviously calls for a positive answer (yes). Back in February this year, Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak stated: "Indians lack creativity". This statement drew controversies in newspapers and electronic media. But why were Indians agitated to this statement? I honestly feel we didn't ponder deeply on this statement before opposing it. Creativity is something which can be acquired not just from one's personal interest but also from the educational platforms provided. But is our education system creative? Definitely not.

We propose an education system where bookish knowledge is given the topmost priority in determining the sharpness level of a student's brain. Teachers or professors in eminent schools and colleges emphasise on mugging up concepts from books and write those concepts using exactly the same pattern and words in exams, as given in books. If a student fails to do so, or in other words writes the answers in a different style i.e. in his/her own words, the teacher deducts their marks in that particular question, thus making the student score low. Another discouraging issue out here is, evaluation of answer scripts in examination is done according to the personal opinion/feelings of the examiner. In order to score good, the students are expected to predict the possible opinions of the examiner and not his/her own opinion, before writing the answers. The issue of partiality also springs out in schools and colleges. Eg: A bright/intelligent student having an excellent academic record is given more importance by teachers with respect to presentations in class. Forcing students to carry heavy books in schoolbags every day is another burning issue.

All these instances show how illogical and irrational our educational system is. These are the serious reasons why our education system needs reforms. Creativity or the practice of "thinking out of the box" must be imparted in order to make Indians prove themselves to be extraordinary with an ability to diversify and explore innovative opportunities in the future. Only then will we able to be comparable with foreign elites.

And this is a very important change that has to be done immediately so as to save our future and nature them and motivate them to rise up high in their life by social means.

Moreover, parents nowadays insist upon admission in private schools rather admitting their pupil into a government school.

As private institutions acquire more fees it's not really important that they should give better schooling. We all blame our society for the bad educational system, but how can we forget that we only make the society and the government. Stop blaming and start thinking. Our future is in our own hands.

Yes, according to me, the Indian education system needs serious reform because all the students spent most of the time in college doing nothing only they listen whatever teachers are speaking in front of them. This is worst because they don't have any practical knowledge so the government should think on it.

Yes, education need be serious because now education system is not good for poor peoples children government school not have an intelligent teacher for the student. Reach people his student addition take private school because there are all facilities for student reach people can take addition his children private school because they have enough money but poor people not have money for that government school intake all facilities because education very important tool everyone education creates nice people.

Education is most important weapons nowadays because if you don't have a knowledge you cannot get a better opportunity for any place. An educated person has more chances of landing up a good high paying job.

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.

Hello everyone,

Yes, I also agreed with everyone that our Indian education system needs some serious reforms but one more thing to be changed and that is the companies criteria because it's also apart of an education system if the companies have no percentage criteria then the students are more focused on practical knowledge rather than there theory marks. So in my point of view, first of all companies are more focused on skills of students rather than marks.

Hello every one,

Yes, Indian education system needs some serious reforms because 80%of student focusing in getting maximum marks because they felt that high percentage will get them success somewhere they are right because our education system depends only percentage if you have got maximum percentage than you get admission in reputed government college but they doesn't get success because lack of practical knowledge, lack of communication etc and the result is they confused what did they do? So we decide what do we want to get success because the person who going to handle the education system is one of us so we decide what changes can be necessary for success in life. Yes, its right that The government can play an important role in reform in Indian education system if they providing the extra facilities in a government college and private colleges like computer classes, personality development classes, practical labs etc.

And this reform can be complete by the BSO of every district and also the education minister of state to given the hard interaction of every college.

But I think this will happen with the help of us (all students) if we decide that we want that (extraordinary classes like practical labs personality development classes computer classes etc). Then the education system will also reformed.

Thank you.

Indian education system needs serious reforms.

I am a student of class 12th and I live in Mumbai.

Just because I scored good Mark's in my class 10th and was an overall good students my parents were expecting me to take science stream and I was told that if I will take science I will be having all other options available in my life. Alas I chose science as my stream which I regret now.

I am in 12th grade now and an overall good student has now become a poor student. I do not have any interest in science and I don't have any knowledge of it but still my parents and my family is expecting me to score good marks.

All I want to say is that in our education system need serious reforms because everyone is focusing on marks no one cares about student's interest and knowledge.

Good Evening Friends,

According to me, The education system must need reforms, Because of the system is only motivated to students for memorizing the subject and will get marks. But they don't improve their knowledge.

There are need some reforms for the education system. All the schools provide education for getting good marks. But not providing the knowledge. So must be need reforms in the education system.
