indian education degradation

We have literates but the cruel fact is that some of them persist with illiterate ways!!!We have chopped and changed with the one we inherited and turned them into shops selling degrees and diplomas!!

Some top brains get into politics and try to change the system....

Emphasis should be on interactive kind of studies....

Well I completely agree with your point. India..is currently on the stand of steady degradation in the field of education.

Earlier teachers were financially weak but they never allowed that to compromise with their principles.Now we have some sharks masquerading as teachers!!!

Education in India has the following components to it.Printing of Guides and mass purchasing of the same before Exams.Printing of past question papers for board exams. Xeroxing of entire text books and mass distribution , Memorizing of EVERYTHING without understanding them

copying of homework, assignments and sometimes event the tests.

Now we have tutorials which are run as industries! What a shame!

Education is a costly thing - if you have intention to get a job with education. Tutorials, Test papers ,Special syudy materials, Special classes.

Most of these tutorial homes sell dreams and charge hefty amounts.Their shady and immoral activites are too well-known to be highlighted here!

Now a days Children does not know what is creativity. They know only mugging up from books and reproducing it in papers. :(

The Education system must be in a way to encourage children think in new dimensions.

Is reservation and Cota system is a solution? According to Swami vivekananda again "IF AN ADULT PERSON IS FED BY OTHERS , HE WILL FORGET TO USE HIS HANDS GRADUALLY". Cota system makes some handless people who are serving to our Govt. organizations and research centres .

Nagalakshmi that is what i have mentioned in my previous posts!!

@ Nagalakshmi

It's a very good made by you! Today's system is killing creativity!

I feel that these students need a role model.Someone they would look up to in everyway. What they need is a guide,who will lead them in the right track. But it's unfortunate that we lack people whose vision is to be a role model for the younger generation.

"I say without fear of my figures being challenged successfully, that today India is more illiterate than it was fifty or a hundred years ago, and so is Burma, because the British administrators, when they came to India, instead of taking hold of things as they were, began to root them out. They scratched the soil and began to look at the root, and left the root like that, and the beautiful tree perished. The village schools were not good enough for the British administrator, so he came out with his program. Every school must have so much paraphernalia, building, and so forth. Well, there were no such schools at all.

There are statistics left by a British administrator which show that, in places where they have carried out a survey, ancient schools have gone by the board, because there was no recognition for these schools, and the schools established after the European pattern were too expensive for the people, and therefore they could not possibly overtake the thing. I defy anybody to fulfill a program of compulsory primary education of these masses inside of a century. This very poor country of mine is ill able to sustain such an expensive method of education. Our state would revive the old village schoolmaster and dot every village with a school both for boys and girls. "

@Sumit

You have put the entire reply under inverterted commas suggesting it to be someone's views.May I know the name of that author? I perfectly agree with that!

I am too anxious to know about the author of the quote,Sumit.

It's always a desirable practice to name the author whom one quotes!
