Educational System in India is a Mess
One day a child ask its parents ,' If I want to earn
huge money in life which subject should I choose as my first choice?'. After thinking
too much parents told to go for Economics, it deals with Money and money
related things. The child was very excited….Child choose Commerce with
specialization in Economics. He got topper in Graduation. He was a very good
student. He never watched any movie, he never made any girlfriend, he didn’t
watch TV also. He denied enjoying life since he was focused on his studies.
He was very focused, so he got the result as a Topper
with 90+ marks. Now he came in a Job market …to earn money.. he didn’t got any
satisfactory job.. nor he could start any business based on his 'Economics'
knowledge..
He consulted his parents again.. after thinking too
much parents got the conclusion, that graduation is not sufficient he must go
for post graduation.. so he did M.Com again he was very focused. He literally
gave 22 years of his life to this educational system. Again he got topper. He
earned Gold Medal at University. His parents were so proud of him, started
dreaming that their son has earned much more money and got listed as one of the
richest person in the world… But in vain, as the boy came in a job market he
was asked for additional degree like computer skills. He denied and told, I
gave my best 22 years of life studying Economics… I got the best knowledge..
but he was not able to got any job, nor did he could start any business
depending on his academic knowledge…
He asked his parents again, now parents were unable to
answer him. So he consulted Principal of his college. Principal told him to go
for Ph.D. again he studied like a maniac. He got the best result.. now the
educational system shouted at him and with raised voice offered a Doctorate.
Now he became 26 years old. He was very energetic and bold at his 20's he was a
good painter from childhood but his parents didn’t allow holding painting brush
in his hand.
According to them painting has no career, graduation
may give him crores of rupees in his life. Now a child was grown up as a 26
years matured Doctorate Economics degree holder…

He was trained to make analysis of National and
World's economy but no book has told him how 'HE' can earn money… Then after
giving 26 years of his life to this educational system what did he got?... A
frustration.. He then join as a school teacher to earn his bread and butter ..
see the 'irony' (find out meaning of 'irony' in dictionary, its wonderful word)
of life, the founder and trustee of the school was 4th standard pass local
politician..then our hero got married.. - because marriages in India is a
social responsibility-. For parents, he got married. Now he has to feed his
wife also, along with his parents and brothers and sisters, so he decided to do
some part time work…
On a very serious note we have to find out what is
wrong with this educational system? Suppose any of this reader may think to do
M.B.A. if he or she is willing to do business… but let me tell you after doing
M.B.A. you are a bigger slave. (please look at best B School ratings in India,
those boyes got 1 Crore ₹package
is the best, 20- 30 lakh ₹ package
is at second number then below 10 lakh ₹is moderate, where we are asking for
training to create business owners.. )You may get highly paid Job. In M.B.A.
you are not educated to become an industrialist or a real time businessman, but
you are trained to be a Manager. Why it is happening???? because the M.B.A. syllabus is designed by a
person who never did any business in his life. M.B.A. books are written by
those scholars who never did any business in his life. A book is explained by a
teacher.. again is a person who never did any business in his life. Do you
still expect a system of slaves can deliver a free Business owning personality?
Unfortunately not !
Let us look at the quality of teachers in India. We
have to start from Primary education. A normal ZP, or Municipal school…
Now try to understand who is coming in primary teaching
profession?
Show me a child at 10th or 12th std thinking to choose
lectureship even he is getting 80% and above (who is not facing any problem at
personal level…)
Age old formula of 10+2+3 is out dated. Education must
be life oriented. students who belongs to lower middle class to go for Mobile
repairing or plumbing course rather than to go for B.A., M.A., B.Com or etc… because
now the trend of earning money is skill oriented.
We have to change our total syllabus, it must have
life orientation… in our educational system you will be surprised to notice
that there is not a single session on child or student psychology… Not a single
session by very successful people about How they got success, how they keep
themselves motivating in adverse time …
There are good carriers like Politician (Leading the
nation from Front), becoming Real Estate Agent or Builders, joining Film
industry.. etc where multi millions earning possibilities are there.
Unfortunately our educational system has developed
fashion to hate politics.. So, less educated people are choosing it as a
profession, and the nation falls in wrong hands. Educational system hates
Builders (if I ask parents are you interested in making your child an Architect
or a Builder, they will definitely choose an Architect -to work under builder)
mass public opinion about builders is..they are "Gundas" where
they are actually not. Educational system hates Film industry… why? I don’t
know… Our 60% of life is dependent on film industry. We listen old or new hindi
songs, we watch TV, we read about film stars. Our educational system at mass
level never gives any motivation or proper training to come to this industry.
Film industry needs good technicians also. Why only Bollywood? There must be
film producing activities in every big city. Every city must have their own
powerful entertainment cable channels.
Why to depend only on Stars, Zee or Sony, Sub TV…
"Only Memory" testing is another limitation
of our educational system. Unfortunately a person who can remember text i.e.
words, and can write it in exam is known as talented person. Creativity, art,
leadership qualities are not recognized by present educational system.
The worst part is board exam. If a student is failed
to achieve certain marks he is denied to pass and gets punishment to wait till
365 days. Its very cruel system. Our educational system enjoys failing maximum
students, not evaluating or guiding student in which subject he is the best…He
has to wait till next year. This system must be closed. Exam must be there at
the intervals of 90 days that is 3 months time. He, who ever may be, can
prepare at any age for any exam. There must be online exam to evaluate student
to save time, computers can generate result within few seconds. Since from 8th
standard a student can choose his best subject. He can eliminate unwanted
subjects. So that he can produce the best out of it. This should be followed
till engineering or medical degree. It has been seen an Engineering student got
best in his interested subject but unable to get minimum marks in a subject
which he cannot understood. And then his carrier is finished for one two or
three years.
I asked many
Technocrats that after coming into profession, how many times he has referred
his text book to solve any problem? They used to laugh at me with words that
academic books are unable to solve any problem (including technical problems) on
field, industry itself is a teacher. Degree and knowledge in colleges is only a
platform… how can we create a good nation with this kind of training and
knowledge? If you are having any emotional problem, family problem, social
problem, economical problem can you solve it by opening any text book in whole
the giant system the answer is NO! oh what a mess…!
