Is education in India is only to create machines(Employee) alone for Corporate companies and Institutions?
Criticism and Quotes
As we all know the standard of our education by that my answer will be yes for this question. This education system just show us a narrow path for example if we ask a 6th standard studying student what's your ambition in life he will be saying mostly a higher position like engineer, doctor and an IAS officer. Some will say a unique answer according to their passion for example sports player, a good leader, an entrepreneur and more. What happens to their dream after reaching their 10th standard ?. 10th standard is the most worst part that happens in our life where they create fear in us. If we didn't study well then our life will be totally a failure one. Is that true ? please think......
What really happens is our dream totally gets collapsed only fear will remain in our minds if we didn't do this exam well our life will be an utter failure. For most of the middle class people their thoughts will be only about what others think so for them there will be an extra pressure. As said by our experts mostly teachers, parents and relatives, whether the life after getting good marks is a successful one ? just think....
I'm not opposing the exams totally but it is not alone the life. Let's get into the topic. After getting a good score in 10th standard now comes the real confusion which group should I opt for my career, after getting lots of advises we opt it. Again comes a voice now in a harder tone none other than if you complete your 11th and 12th std you will reach a bigger heights in life and in college you ca n enjoy your life. So after that you complete it by a great struggle.
Now we all join a college. The real comedy or a tragedy (I'm giving the ball to you) starts. If you ask a student now what is your ambition in life he will be thinking. This is the case of 98% of students in the college. Only 2% will be having passion on what they took. We will enjoy our college life.
Now comes the final year, where we get matured and going to deal with the real life problems. If you ask now what is the ambition of a student, he/she surely be telling to be an employee in a good firm. Whether it may be private or government. Only 25% will have passion working as an employee. What happened to our dream with a passion in our 6th std?. Is it totally gone? Is this what our education gives? Bill Gates, was a college drop out but it is harvard university. Sachin Tendulkar was 10th fail. Thomas Alva Edison didn't even attend school beyond a few months as a child. But they worked on their goal with passion and got a real success in life.
With the help of education itself many got succeeded for example, Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam and Sundar pichai succeeded by only with the help of our education but they did with a different perspective. So by seeing all these examples we come to know what is education and the real success is. The work of education is to strive students of what they want and what they are good at.
The responsibility of an educational institution is to teach students the basic and show them different ways and need to find what they want ,what they have in and must support them to do. If this is happened then we will see diversified nation in our country. This is the only way to create inventors, leaders, players, entrepreneurs and a capable employee for all jobs.
This can even bring down unemployment in our country. So the mantra of an educational institution must be
" ANALYSE , SHOW AND SUPPORT"(Analyse what a student has, show him a better path with what he is good at and support him). If this three is been done at least our next generation will be on a better way to create a developed India. A great way to go in guys without a passion the work is totally a garbage, why our next generation has to feel that incomplete feel think, think, think.....
Our education must also include some practical things and real life situations into theories. If they are complex they must be taught in a simple way. Each and every student should love their subject design accordingly students will love and study. If this is done then surely even many theories will be their passion and many inventions will come out of that theories.

Now a days education is used as a tool for getting profit of the business...give more get more policy is followed...a proper educational system must be for to bring out lots of valuables to the nation...but this is not going on
ReplyDeleteyes you are absolutely correct but the change must be done in a shorter period of time
DeleteThere are many ways to make our livelihood..
ReplyDeleteEmployment is one such means of income.
It is no way inferior to other sources.we are not to be compared to as machine as employment gives us a platform with salary to run our livelihood and develop our skill set until we form a strong econmic base for our family which is our high responsibility ..
Dr. Abdul kalam, sundar pitchai all are also employees of public or pvt sector.
And it doesn't mean that we are branded for employment for our life time.
We can always have choice to switch on in your life time to pursue your passion,all that you need a time for change, as we have a responsibility to a family system where we are to make few compromises.
We are in digital world where you have access to explore more apart from the academic syllabus..... Make lot of trials practically.. Education system no way stops your aspirations.
On individual intrest only with the proper guidance from teachers, each individual we need to gain knowledge if you are really passionate to some other work just keep on constant upgradation to it, help your society with your knowledge as a consultant though not as accredited professional.
Teachers and relatives can only give you suggesion,and support but It is parents and you to decide your life.
Yes, of course middle class parents are helpless to support to fulfill their children dream, particularly by the parents who could not pace up to the speed, the current era of knowledge revolution which we are going through for last 2-3 decades.. Now things are getting set for the next generation, where your wish will find a change... It is absolutely the time to bring in change...
It is an individual spirit of learning made all those personalities you have mentioned to achieve and not the education system or institutions .They cannot work on each individual with this huge population, It is parents and individuals to take responsibility on our personal growth....
Wish that you will soar high oneday with this enthusiastic spirit in you and bring out a change in next generation...
