Education must be intrinsically adopted by all through proper implementation of existing policy and creation of new effective policy.

Education system in India be viewed in two scenarios first is ancient education system and modern education system.

In ancient we had a system which sounds quite practical in the form of quality education without having interest in financial expenditure and education to all was also relevant.

In modern day education system the education has become a commercial sector where people spend lots of money to get quality education and the darkest point in that is those who are majority in India are unable to afford that commercialized education that's why being 75% literate till majority do not have quality and skills.

The lower class in India can't even afford to primary education to their children and most of the young generation lives in darker. That's why in a country which is second rapid developing country and strong economy still having children those who do rag picking selling goods on roadways, railways and work on tea stall.

We have to work on these things to make our young generation strong and take part in nation buildings. We have to provide education to all and make them strong in skills and knowledge.

We have to make a transparent system which can provide fair chance to all the majority in India.

By making root strong we can build emerging brain in our country which can take a step you to the developing.

Swami Vivekananda's quote was if you want to build a great nation you have to build a great society and to build a great society we have to give skills and knowledge in their hands.

Yes, I really feel that education system needs serious reforms.

Today the central idea of education-gaining knowledge and ability to apply in real life has itself faded in the race of getting "HIGHEST MARKS", those marks that can never reveal the inner knowledge of a person. But still today these marks are considered as the sole criterion for distinguishing students.

Secondly, our attention is focused on some limited subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Maths, English blah blah blah, yet they have no importance in our life since most of us do not know how to apply them in real life!We all just gobble up the equations, formulae, laws, and vomit it out in the examination sheet, and then it becomes a history all forgotten!We have never strived to decipher the physical significance of all that we have studied till now!In other words, we are wasting the honourable efforts of those people who had spent their entire lives to find out a reason behind an observation.

We all have lost the curiosity to swim deep into the subject or field of our choice. All we do is to pass the "so-called" exams and capture the respective post!We may be literate, but still not educated. And even today's educated man does not guarantee that he is virtuous.

Cases are well-known where highly qualified officials are found guilty of certain ghastly crimes and frauds. Is this that our education system guarantees!

Lastly, we all have lost the ability to communicate. Thanks to the education system and the social networking sites, that we are always lost in our academic books, and have no idea about what is happening outside. We have lost the etiquettes to talk to elders, peers. Even these things are taught in school just to pass the exam, in the form of Q/Ans, and then all is forgotten forever.

Therefore, I believe that our education system needs serious reforms if we want to make our lives mentionable ones!

Yes.

We know nowadays every house had one engineer (without a job) the main reason is even they don't know about their engineer subjects names also. Corporate colleges are mainly concentrating on their fee structure only and providing the facilities also to join in my college we give you the bond and after four years we will give the degree also like that.

In my opinion is the Indian govt has to take the serious action on these kinds of colleges and maintain some cut-off marks or percentages in candidates who has completed their 10+2 or 10+3 the chance to do the under graduation course in colleges.

By using these way the students are concentrated on their studies at least they gain the minimum knowledge about their career.

FRIENDS I tell you one real example.

Me and my friend completed graduation in someone of the famous engineering college in Hyderabad I got 73 % and he got 58 % now also I don't have any job, but my friend got the job in some other engineering college and he is going to take the classes on electronic subjects now. If I ask PTSP full form (Probability Theory and Stochastic Process) now also he wrote blunder of mistakes in that. That's why the Indian educational system needs serious reforms.

Hello friends.

I think that our educational system needs serious reforms because since times immemorial we have not seen any such reform that could help the younger generations to love gaining knowledge.

Students are just pushing themselves to score high in exams but they are not interested in gaining knowledge; they do not have an interest in doing something creative. So that's the point of mine.

@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.

Education has to be changed because.

There are three basic types of schools in India.

1. Private.
2. Government.
3. Semi Government.

Private System: I would like to start from school owner (Management level), Every year free does automatically increase by 10% to 40%. I don't know what does formula use by accountant to augment fees.

In India, there is lacking of passion in Youth Generation. No one wants to be a good teacher, we feel insulted to be a teacher.

Then Who are teachers?

Only 10% Passionate teachers are working well rest of 90% came from unsuccessful in the previous course of competition so they have not option except this golden chance, so for earning Join school and arrange Tuition program. Teacher has degree to prove but not passion for teaching result lacking of research, innovative, scientist etc.

I want to ask for system why poor student doesn't prefer medical rather rest of all courses. Reason is very clear poorly and corruption nothing else.

In the other hand.

Government school:

Teacher has ability but we medium class has problem with Government school. We realize It as School of poor.

Some Government teachers are doing well that's why system is going on. We people have to change mindset against the Government school. Only this online discussion is not enough for this.

Thank you very much.

Sure our education system needs serious reforms. You see, practicals in schools are just treated as useless; they are done because it has to be done. No one is serious about practical approach, everyone is just busy cramming up theory.

Students like me, who are very bad at memorizing, used to fail tests for which we studied like hell. Because exams now test only memory and not our understanding. And the education system is so terrible that it decides our future on the basis of a stupid report card, which features only academics. So in a desperate bid to pass the exams, we do cheat in exams.

Now, if we cheat, the teachers catch us. Of course, they are being "true to their job" isn't it? After all, they were idols of honesty and truthfulness in their childhood, huh? Incarnation of Raja Satyavadi Harishchandra himself, right? And then these teachers ensure that the student feels totally embarrassed and is punished badly.

Come on, these are teachers. They should know that the present education system is PATHETIC. If they are true to their jobs, they would actually allow students to cheat in exams.

If the education system is so crooked, that it plays on the life of a student because of a report card, then it has no damn right to expect students to be fair and square, honest.

I encourage students. Go and cheat all you like. When students start cheating in large numbers, then these uneducated stupid CBSE chairman will do something. That egoistic CBSE chairman doesn't even respond to mails that students send to him.

Here we students are desperate and no one is bothered. I have found that talking to parents is also of no use at all; they just want marks.

Instead, our education system must focus equally on theory and practicals. Also, instead of cramming up facts into the heads of the students, just teach them very basic facts and let them discover the laws, theorems etc by themselves. Keep them away from books for that time. I think that will make learning more fun, this thing especially will work for Maths. And the syllabus in 11th and 12th needs to be considerably shortened. It is too much. Moreover, some really excellent teachers need to teach us, not the usual ones in whose classes we doze off to sleep. There is not a single college in India where all teachers are excellent. Minimum one will be a total moron and I don't mind telling you that I have had many.

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.

Hello, I am also agree with your answers because if the grading system has not removed, the students become unable and depending. They don't want to do hard work.
