The single biggest reform that Indian education needs is to remove the fixed part called time. Once the rigour of "academic year" is removed then a fixed time tenure in school vanishes. A student will not feel it is infra dig to study class VI to X or XII in a fixed number of years.

Then he or she can study concepts in math, science, social sciences, or languages at a pace one is comfortable, take formative or summative assessments at a convenient time and repeat learning sessions any number of times. This also gives the student time to decide on one's passion according to their attitude, aptitude, and competence.

The next set of reforms would be for govt to make school education completely free till Std X for everyone regardless of social status. Fix the fee for private schools, ensure that alone is collected, and create a simple payback system so that the fee amount comes back to the parents/fee payer.

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.

Today's education system really needs a serious change because somewhere the number Of private institute exploiting future of students. As per government rule 500, engineering college should be sealed. Do you really think there is need to seal these colleges? What were the consequences behind of it? Then the answer given by them is that students don't want to take admission in these colleges that's why they are selling the college. In my opinion, if they ever invested in the quality of education then they never required sealing these colleges. They just recruit the teacher who is not enough intelligent, even they don't have practical knowledge. Inspite of this they must invest on valuables teacher who is more good in practice as well. If the teacher's concepts are not clear how they can provide good future to students. Due to which unemployment is increasing. They are not able to crack the interviews.

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.

I totally agree with you. I am also facing all these in my school and coachings. Their is a need to change our education system. Why we cram the fact of chemistry. The so called exemption and all these. We would focused on practical things and we should do only that which we will enjoy. The work is not the work for us, we should enjoy that work. Every can't be a doctor and engineers. If everyone become a doctor or engines, so who will do the other work. I am diedly pashinet about art. Drawing in not drawing for me it's an. I haven't have any words to explain my self but my parents, friends, relatives, teachers many other said that there is no shacop so you are wasting your time on artes. I have to say the only thing we should change our education system and things of our education department. We are the youth of our country. Not only youth we are the future of our country.

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.

Hello, I would like to put my point of view here i.e

Since idependence, Indian government is continuosly striving to fulfill basic needs such as food, shelter, education ;but even after 65 years of independence government is still struggling and unable to augment the living standard of its citizens. So, one of the basic need that can change the entire scenario is.

"EDUCATION" so certain changes should be taken to implement the structure of education and also reservation should be provided to BPL groups so that it can help the poor to utilize the chance and make them lead good life like others in the multi cultural society (INDIA). Also educational schemes plays important role in country like India so the incumbent should bring useful schemes like SHIKSHA SAHAYOG YOJANA, SARVA SHIKSHA ABIYAN, etc. Finally it leads to "practical INDIA" according to my opinion.

In my point of view education is not just learning the things theoretically but also reaching the actual point of things through practical way. We have learned many theorems and formulates in our childhood but where we all are applying them in our real life's.

Students should me educated in such a way that they need to know what they are learning and where they have to apply their knowledge in proper way, in which our education system in lacking.

And in other countries there are lot of facilities and opportunities provided to student's innovative and creative thinking and they are been encouraged. Where as in our country we have innovative and creative ideas but we don't have proper facilities to implement them that's where our education system is lagging and that's the one of the reason many of them are flying to other countries to do their masters.

@Samved lyer.

I read your views and I think that your views match with me and that is why I am writing to you. I seriously want to convey this.

Can't we all students do something to change it. To make the education system better so that students could enjoy learning. The problem is that we all people just discuss it. What is the point of debating if we can't make it practically possible? Whenever I put forth this thing I am framed like an idiotic person but I am not kidding. I am damn serious that we all should become united to change it because no government is interested education. I mean since India gained independence, no party has tried to bring a conformational change in it.

Whoever is reading it please think about it.

Can't we all take a step forward and become enlightened youth? Please think about it because now I don't want to let it go.

I think at least in education system the reservation system should not be applied.

We have read a lot of times, that India has given jobs to less talented reserved category student and America gives jobs to talented unreserved category students who haven't got jobs in India due to the reservation system and America is developing on behalf of Indian talent.

So I think reservation system should not be applied in the education system. It should be fully based on merit because we know what is the status in higher education. Open category students have to pay fees in lakhs whereas sc students have to pay a fee in hundreds. Also because of reservation reserved category cutoff is lower than the general cutoff. Disadvantages which can be observed now. So according to me, the education system should be merit based.
