WHAT DOES PRESENT EDUCATION SYSTEM TEACHES IN INDIA ?

There are lakhs of schools and colleges in India. But how many of them are giving importance to practical learning? The answer is very few.

Everything is about rote memorization, leading to behavior which encourages cramming and forgetting rather than life long learning. It teaches that by heart the things for the purpose of marks and simply forget them after your examinations.

REASONS BEHIND INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM PROBLEMS IN INDIA :

There are many Debates on Present Education System and main reasons for the failure of Indian education system. Failure is nothing but disability at a particular thing. Some of the reasons are :

• ILLITERACY : In our country’s total population , 25% are illiterate. They don’t know the importance of education and simply ignoring it. So, our country’s literacy rate is very less when compared to other countries. So they are willing to emerge in their related fields of work only.
• PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS : Now a days private schools are coming like mush rooms into the society. Their main aim is to gain profit by making education as a business. They are making students mind as a pressure cooker. They always teach bookish knowledge rather than practical knowledge.
• LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CAREER : Most of the students do not have idea about their professional career. So they are not willing to gain practical knowledge. They want to stood as toppers in the exams by re-producing matter what they hear in the class room. This is the major cause of failure (India’s education system failure).
• LACK OF MOTIVATION : When compared to western countries Indian students lack motivation. A person can gain more power through motivation (i.e.,inspiration), Which is lack in our system. If we provide some basic inspiration through various ways then our education system will gain much power.
• PARENTS PRESSURE : So many parents are ruining their children life by making their visions as their children visions. It is very harmful and may lead children mind into depression. Sometimes this situation may lead to committing suicides.
• LACK OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE: Number of students are getting graduation certificates from many institutions. But how many of them possessing practical knowledge? Very few. So a student never become like a machine, he should know what he can do with his subject. Then only our system get success.
• RESERVATION SYSTEM: Even though reservation system is essential during the period after independence, it is not suitable for present day. Due to this system some lakhs of people are not able to reach their aims. This has adverse effect on most of the people.
