Dear Friends, I just want this to be a debate on the success of education.

Interesting insights. To put the point more precise the following are major disastrous practices we do have now,

1. Education is no more a service, just pure business. This lead to the compromising the values what originally the education should offer. Our students are studying based on what they get according to their financial capability and unjustified marks (unjustified comes my explanation below. Most of the institutions / politicians (almost all) are framing the educational system and policies with the profitability in mind rather the future of the students and the society in whole. It becomes a created demand to pursue certain courses like Medicine, engineering, MBA. More marketing you do for a course more valuable it becomes. True or not?

2. Students are consistently bugged with thoughts that they are going to school / college for earning money in future. The Passionate learners are reducing in numbers. Sorry we can't blame the students when the earlier generation had done that insisting mistake. Students minds are trying to relate learning to money without any correlation to the excellence in a particular passion they have.

3. Parents viewing their kids as an investment entity. Keep on advising them by looking at what they perceived from others around. Very few kids get support to fly free on the way to their interests explore and decide what career they want in life.

4. Look at our administrative system across nation. Most of the students does not want to know how a government rules us, their working models, pros and cons. Everywhere a job is to earn money but not to do the job with love and responsibility. The sense that every job we do for ourselves lead to national growth, cultural impact, etc. We need to have more futuristic approach right from the schooling. Else accept global warming, pollution, crimes, corruption as part of life. Cause we are not taught the importance of those in schools, we teach how to earn money by getting safe into a job.


Solutions : May look impossible for a pessimist. Optimistic view : Encourage your children to explore and decide. Give them opportunities to make mistakes when they have time to rectify.

Changing Education system cannot be created overnight or by more implementation of changed syllabus / practice. I can be brought by creating demands in students. They are the consumers of knowledge. Initiate activities to ignite their thinking. They will demand. The system has to change and provide what they want. Slowly it will change.

Thank you and i would love to hear from you.
