Education is helpful for the development of human being. But in todays scenario in India more and more schools are growing which take huge donations to take admit our kids. It seems like they are selling education. In some private schools the staff is not much qualified or experienced, but they charge high in name and fame. So do you think education system in India be changed.

The syllabus remains the same in all schools - the difference being state schools, ICSE and CBSE syllabus. The major problem is the method of teaching and also a lack of dedication in some schools esp government run schools. But all in all Indian education system needs reform no doubt but it is still competetive at an international level since the ones who have passed out of here do well internationally as well !

The method of teaching definitely needs to be revamped. However, lack of dedication is not only limited to govt. schools..private schools are no less!

Possibly so, private schools too are not much better ....The problem is having any far sighted vision and determination to overhaul the entire educational system...We have unscientific class periods and outdated syllabus and absolutely no practical knowledge imparted to students !
The main issue not only with education but all aspects of life is the commercialization of almost everything. So education system is also designed to benefit the school managers. The school managers like good businessmen even provide 'services' like mass contract copying. Parents ad students support such institutions that promise job placement.
The first requirement for any educational reform is to decommercialize the system and ensure all round development- physical, moral, mental.

There are even specialized shops now where one can buy all kinds of projects and working models that are occasionally asked to be made by the students! These models and projects can be bought from a few hundred to a few thousands of rupees! What kind of learning is involved here? Not to mention the parallel system of tuition and coaching classes where the fees equal and sometimes is even more than the actual school fees!
Some years back I was at a xerox shop and came to know that lot many studentswho have to submit projects do not visit libraries for data collection. They go to xerox centres who keep a copy of project reports given to them for xeroxing and sell them at high costs to new students. Teachers are also not bothered.

Yes, that is a normal scenario around most colleges and schools. When I was in college myself, there were a group of students who never attended lectures but always had notes ready with them. Once we asked them out of curiosity about how there notes were always updated when they were never seen studying, we were told that a certain xerox shop had a stock of all kinds of notes which you could get a copy of for a fixed sum. :blink: Just mug them up and get scores. Teachers are not bothered because they are only concerned with the results!

This happens because 'thinking out of the box' is not encouraged at schools or colleges. Teachers find it easy to check ready made answers than having to tax their brains and expect a different answers. Hence, students find a way out..copy pasting the same thing over. Of course, I know that a fact cannot be changed and reproduced as it is but for subjects which can have more than one interpretation, teachers should readily accept it and encourage it.
We are ignoring core aspect of skill development, instead going forward with degree and marks.

That is what ideally education should involve but sadly, teachers themselves are not taught to think out of the box. Of course there are exceptions to this, but generally as a rule, they are taught and expect from their students too to stick to the routine only. Some students who might be exceptionally bright may write answers in a different manner but are immediately reprimanded for doing so and are made to stick to routine. As a result they soon lose their spark! :blink:

That is very true ! Students are expected to reproduce what is written in the text book because it makes the job easier for teachers while correcting the answer sheets ..I have had so many arguments about this but given up now since it is futile, you have no other go but go with the flow ..

As a parent or a guardian we have very little say in the education system...certainly going with the flow has been the trend so far, but if more and more people wake up and understand and agree with the need to modify the education system, we will soon see some amount of change.

In a report,some years ago, it was reported that some coaching centres train there students so nicely that they become experts in cracking entrance exams of IIT etc. But upon admission are not found to be suitable by the teaching faculties. In fact they suggested that such students should be given a foundation course to bring them at par with other students. Entry crackers exit failures.
