In India the education system has changed with time, in ancient India was having a Gurukula system where Guru teaches the students whatever he could teach. All learning was closely linked to nature and life, and not confined to memorizing some information. Also there was a close relation between Guru and student.
But in modern education system, teaching is only confined to classrooms and link with nature is broken, also the link between teacher and student is not so strong as in the past.

I would suggest that CBSE must make secondary examination compulsory because it helps the students to prepare for the future in a much better way. As well as in the final examinations of every class the syllabus should not be only of the second term but must include chapters from the previous term too. Revision helps the students to strengthen the knowledge or else they forget everything they learnt during the first term. Presently, schools stress on group projects too which makes the students work as a team which is quite helpful. So, in one go we should not demean the present system and the institutions as well as underestimate the present generation.
What you write here about projects and CBSE, these are only for urban area, large number of India's population living in rural area, All thing is all most impossible there. If we want to improve education that we must be focus on education in rural area.
I agree with you. It is of highest importance to see that education facilities are within the reach of all, especially to the remote rural regions.
Rural area is treasure of technical skill, only need is to search and promote them.

That is an excellent observation you have made anil, because in rural areas almost all jobs are done manually and practice has made them very skillful and the focus should be on what they can achieve easily , which is what education is all about.Just book knowledge of things that are Greek and Latin to most rural children don't help , whereas practical knowledge that can be put into use helps !
Definitely correct @anil and it's true that I opined according to my observation around me. I live in Delhi and I can speak about the condition and facilities available here while I cannot opine about the rural area. It is true that their condition will be definitely very different from the urban areas. This is the role of the government to implement such an education system which can educate the children of the rural area to such an extent that their potentials are well utilised so that they can improve their living condition and contribute to the betterment of the society.

You are right. BJP has introduced skill development India Mission, ehere skills are given top priority. I mentioned about it in this same thread elsewhere.
Also there is need to redefine the purpose of education system. The goal of our new education system should be to create entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, scientists, thinkers and writers who can establish the foundation of a knowledge based economy rather than the low-quality service provider nation that we are turning into.
Now days the target or teachers teaching in private schools is only to earn money. They are trying to earn as much as they can. That's why they are going from schools to coaching centers.
What's wrong in it? In every profession the employees would like to have hike in their pay scale and other perks and the same goes true for the teachers. They have an ambition, a family to support and depend upon a fat bank balance in future. People can criticise them only then when they remain employed in school but do not teach properly. They are leaving the school job and joining the coaching centre and for that they do not deserve any criticism.

Stopping grants to the private schools, though good, this move of Rajasthan has to see, the Government schools are also financed. This certainly helps in stopping migration of teachers from Government schools to the private schools or coaching centers.
Whatever it is, the teaching of private schools are better than government schools. The teachers of private school will loose their job, if they won't teach well. Therefore, the teachers are always careful in their teaching. We cannot see such commitments in government schools. Here the teachers have the confidence that they will get their salary per month whether they teach well or not.
What the Private schools are teaching is information that is necessary for the student to score and make him eligible for Higher education. But Information is different from Knowledge. Knowledge is the need of the hour. Knowledge makes the student prepare for the future and remains for ever. Knowledge empowers the student.

In Karnataka many private schools pay much higher wages than government schools besides giving benefits like bonus, PF and private Pension schemes. As long as they are doing their job well, I dont see why they should not teach in coaching centers
The condition of our government schools are very bad. Our government should focus on this fact, and some strict rules should be made so that teachers can focus on students. Some owners of private schools do not want that government schools in their area will produce good results, so they try to effect government schools administration with the help of their political reach. So this should also be taken care of by the respective state governments.
