The Increasing burden of education

Yes it is right in these days marks above than 95% is very common. Here one girls top in state board examination and get 100 marks in Hindi. I am surprising how some one can be so perfect that he don't do any single mistake in language paper. 100% marks is possible in subject like math Phsics and other numerical based subjects. So to remove pressure from the child it is must to think about marking pattern. Government is doing too much to improve government school and some results is also come out. Student of government schools ranking in merit list. 

with the government making various efforts there is still a need to make the teachers aware of what kind of pressure a child can undertake. 

Without actually understanding the child’s psychology the progress of a child cannot be ensured. 

A lot of changes are needed in our education system which aim at holistic development of child and not making robots.

Our old education system Gurukul was a perfect education system. Awareness among about system of education is increasing but it is not enough. Here still government are fighting for philosophy.Curriculum changes as the government changes

With all the minuses our education system still works and if we look around educated Indians are known to be one of the most committed and intelligent work force around the world. It is possibly because of the adverse conditions that they evolve by looking for every opportunity that seems workable . Nothing like stress to sharpen your wit and output.

Agreed.! 

But amount of such indivisuals is very less as compared to the enormous population that we have. The count of such people are very low despite our capability to produce intelligent smart individuals.

And if I am not mistaken, many countries are trying to follow Indian system of education. Some years back I came across an article which described why Indian education was better than Chinese system of education.

But I do agree with the view that some parents give unnecessary academic pressure to their children, without understanding their potential.

That s always so because imbalance is a reality of life. But we see a lot more educated people especially women in smaller towns who study in government schools and colleges but outperform those who have studied in expensive private institutions. There is of course always a need for improving and upgrading the system.

@Jabeen, you are right , Chinese system is exactly like their politics of dominance. They pressurize the children , even going to the extent of physical punishment when they don't perform as required.

Indian education should give more importance to sports and allied co curricular activities than they are giving at present.

Current education system is quite useless as majority of the graduates, be it in any field,m are found to be unemployable and have to be trained again before they can be put to work. This is probably because the entire system revolves around scores and marks and not on understanding concepts or developing creative skills. So unless focus is given on developing creativity and imagination through education, it would not improve things much.

I agree with Kalyani. Despite of having degrees our graduates are not skilled to work in the current situation. Moreover, our systems does not allow students to explore their strengths and weakness and then choose a path based on their aptitude. Our children get confined at very young age before they have explored enough for themselves. Like many students go for Science after 10th, so that the avenues are open. They can switch to Commerce and Humanities later. But switching back to Science is not possible. Most of these children are unsure. They are just 15 or 16 years and have not known much of their interest and calling. Most of the decisions are taken for them by parents and adults and they go in to blind rat race facing frustration, depression and other issues.

Recently, there is an app launched, for school students to know their aptitude and the direction which will be better for them.

Exactly. And I find it very sad to notice that later in their life many of them end up joining a career which is not related in any way to the subject that they have studied for higher education. Its destroying not only their life but also those students who were genuinely interested in the subjects which the first person studied but didn't get seat for admission as its filled with uninterested studends.

Very true Arunima. Also, I wish to point out a sad fact that the parents themselves, in spite of knowing and understanding, are reluctant to let the child explore and decide what he or she wants to really do. The parents go by what is the current trend without considering whether their child might or might not be able to study a particular stream to their fullest capability. So a child who is very brilliant and scores very good marks in 10th is made to take admission for only science even if he might want to pursue arts or other streams. This leads to severe problems with the children later on and they might even go into depression.

I think instead of theoretical burden there should be more practical activities to increase interest in students on reading and writing. Heavy wait could be burden if there is less interest on study but student are interested then he feel happy all the time. So to increase interest things should be more interesting in form of practical .

As per my knowledge, we shouldn't blame someone to change our education system. Apart from crying, we should take a stand to change your education system. " A single piece of paper can't decide anyone future,"  There are few companies like https://getmyuni.com/ help students to achieve their academic dream by providing each and every fact related to Colleges, Exams, Courses. Which will help students to enrol in a good college for their higher studies.

I am agree with you only certificate or degree is not enough to make good carrier we must be focus of quality education. 

If there is a good awareness of living in this world, in terms of communicating, growing and carving our independent and unique lifestyle, education becomes just a supporting factor for our growth.
