The education system needs serious reforms

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.

Nowadays many students are not going for their higher studies, the reason behind most of them is that they didn't get good education in the school. Reason for that is our system and our teachers. Most schools made the students to memorize. So they can't get the real education at all. The students are getting bored because of these mugging system. So percentage of higher studies in our country is reduced. Students should ask the question, not the teachers alone. Students should be encouraged by the teachers to ask questions.

Everything should be practical so that we get to know the real potential of the student, and if he's good on the subject then main focus should be paid to the particular subject only.

Instead of practical equipment in the four walls, the syllabus and the study material gradation shall be updated and given priority. The knowledge of fundamentals of advanced techniques cannot be at the mercy of quality teachers.

Yes, of course.

It must be reformed, sorry it must be changed. Just look when students go for home from school, they have been tired this is because they just got it, fully bored.

Classroom environment should be like that as if teacher teach tailoring, teacher should be responsible for training the student how he/she can be a fashion designer.

I am also supporting the topic that the education system in India needs reforms such as encouraging the use of smart boards.

Because with the means of smart board, we can visualize what we are learning. It is the best way of learning anything. Another reform should be that we should emphasize on smart work rather than hard work.

Yes, because the Indian education system is not practical. It's very serious matter. I hope India govt make it practical. Level of primary education is bad need to solve this problem.

Strange but true.

Our education system tests our memory and our intelligence.

What is education? An enlightening experience where you get to learn your favorite things but here the whole definition has been changed. Education in nowadays is getting good marks, then get the degree. But what's the use of degree that has to be just hung on the wall for rest of the years in front of our eyes? What the use of that knowledge that is just used to score marks. For eg: what's the use of History, science to a milk selling women she knows how to sell the milk, profit and loss so from this we can say just teach them the basis and later let them do what they love to do. I'm not saying that the systems are wrong I wanna say that it is not used in proper way. If you want to know that child has understood or not take examinations but such examinations should produce human beings of high morale and dignity and not being slaves of examination. It should be practically and not that classroom studies. It should make a student mentally and physically strong so they can solve their own problems, be independent and not that they keep on studying and don't enjoy their life and later when they have knowledge but not a single memory of their childhood that they can cherish.

This is what I think hope you like.

The Indian education system is not supportive of the industrial requirements which need the state to invest special and huge funds in youth skill acquisition programs like ASAP of Government of Kerala &NSDC of Union Human resources dept. This drawback is even applicable for the central board. Our education system tells Bluetooth is an emerging technology for data transfer, which is actually an outdated technology on today's faster-developing world. This drawback is to be rectified by real-time update of the syllabus.

The education system should reduce its lean to exams in evaluation pattern to less than 20% of total score of a student and the rest 80% should be contributed by activities, behavior, attitude, personal skills and such other parameters.

No employee or industrialist can make success alone, success of a career is always related to the team a person associates. Therefore this should be kept in mind when formulating syllabus. Thus group skills will also form part of evaluation of a student.

If physics and maths form part of subject then dance and music should also be a part &students should be allowed to make theirs on combination of subjects to be studied by them for the year.
