The belief is that the more you repeat something the better your chances of learning, which according to latest studies has been proven wrong since memorizing a subject repeatedly can interfere with learning process that is related to the subject ...

Yes sir. Practical knowledge with updation is the need of the hour. I agree. :)
Geeta, I have been observing you, most of your responses are just reflection of others opinions. Don't you have anything of your own? Unless you have something of your own, Forums become dull and dreary. Take this as a friendly suggestion.
Writing is the best practice to remember whatever we have studied. Noting down main points as hints helps us to remember easily.
Application of what's learnt to the real life will make all the difference. Knowledge without application is an exercise in futility .
Yes, correct..practical utility / application of theoretical knowledge helps one to retain the info for a longer time. Even writing and remembering fails at times.
Knowledge gained through rote is nothing but a robotic action. It's as good as not having knowledge at all.
Most schools these days have a blended approach towards learning..textbook along with multimedia based learning is being implemented. Of course not all schools, but the well-known high-end international schools have already started using a mixed approach towards learning..digital learning is what most schools are trying to implement..which is a good thing.
Good schools which offer education that helps in acquiring knowledge with application are very less in number.. If such schools are available in these days of commercialization , there is nothing like it.
Yes, slowly digital education is being implemented..of course it will take time to get it done in all schools but now all educational concepts are recreated, videos, graphics, games, along with text book are used to make learning an enriching and fun experience.

I hope, the new government will do all the necessary educational reforms.
More than anything else, the need of the hour is a hands-on approach to learning thing practically. Mere theoretical learning will get you nowhere, a simple reason why thousands of engineering graduates with first class and distinction remain jobless in our country.
Aptly said about the reason behind highly educated people remaining jobless, owing to lack of practical knowledge.

The focus even now, remains entirely on scoring marks and not the true calibre of the students! Portrayed so effectively in the movie 3 Idiots that things are changing positively at least for some, but it will still take more time for everyone to realise that marks is not the real thing!

Exactly. Anyhow, the new government assured to make some revolutionary educational reforms where practical knowledge is given top priority.

Focus is on the scoring system or grades because without this it becomes difficult to judge a student's calibre. The entire educational system (from the beginning to professional and technical colleges) needs to be changed in order to shift our focus from just scoring high numbers to getting adequate practical knowledge. This tasks seems to be challenging but I hope to see some changes in educational system with the new Govt, in place.

After taking a stock of the situation and understanding the flaws in the present education, the new government is all geared up to change the scenario for good Lets wait and see.

True ! the yard stick is the ability of a student to mug and reproduce, as for how much of it has been absorbed is anybodys guess ! From my own experience students who stand first and get first ranks in schools and pre universities are not the ones that get great placements when they come out of professional schools, it is those who are all arounders ..

Exactly.. one of friends is a school teacher who teaches Maths and Science to std X students and she too said the same thing, students who score 90% and more are the ones who really do not have complete grasp of the subjects, with exceptions of course. But this is due to the fact that they spend more time in mugging up answers rather than understanding the concepts clearly. This is the reason why we so few students who come first in boards etc. achieving an illustrious career as compared to so-called average students!

Knowledge gained by rote is without practicability. Our students know all the mathematical tables. But when it comes to real life application they do not the ccst of 4 oranges at the rate of Rs. 2 an orange. This is a small example.
Ideally theory and practice should go hand in hand only then the real purpose of education is served.Cramming the brain with words and figures does precious little . Now we have project work and practical classes which are aimed at making students understand better and utilise the knowledge in day today life...
