If cricket is introduced in Indian schools then after knowing that cricketers can earn more money than an Engineer or a Doctor, Every child will be forced to take cricket field. And then govt. will introduce a degree for cricket. After that in upcoming yrs India will produce max. No. Of cricketers but then we have the worst indian cricket team bcz many good cricketers will not able to clear theoretical exams in which toppers have answered all questions as they are good at remembering the things taught in the classroom in blackboard- bench form. Practicality doesn't matter! Sounds very familiar.... Same situation with Engineers and doctors.... Everyone choose eng. Or doctory just to get a job...not to help others or to create something new or Innovate things... India produces maximum number of engineers a yr...but lacs of engineers are doing some other jobs or things to get enough of money to keep moving,keep living. This clears that a kagaj ka patta means nothing. Even if you don't have that{(degree) ,Which tells that u r an engineer.(theoritically)practically to khud ko bhi doubt hoga} u can create things and do something good for the nation and the world.

I'm sick and tired of our education system. Edit: I'm now in Bsc second semester and it has become somewhat better than before, though the lack of options for students sucks. (our colleges don't have so many subjects especially in biology) (Also I had to struggle for admission in college cause everyone else had gotten around 90% and I had a low percentage (science stream) and even now students have faced such trying times due to the pandemic. I just hope everyone puts their mental health at the forefront.) I have just passed the 12th standard and don't really want to study anymore. Education has become a chore for me. I haven't really had fun or felt satisfied studying for many years now and doubt that I will in the future. Of course I have to complete my education else I won't get a job but the choices are so limited. And honestly I have come to hate the education system. I had always been a curious child. I loved to read different books and gain knowledge but school killed that in me. Since std 7 I have constantly been a poor student because I'm not good at memorizing things. I liked to be creative but creativity won't get me marks. And getting compared with the better scoring students always makes me jealous and unhappy. I have tried to kill myself once. Self harmed many times because I couldn't take it anymore but always stopped myself at the final moments. Let me tell you now I have trouble trying to write a single article or passage without help because I have been conditioned to copy and paste. I used to love writing but now I can't even think new ideas. This is what education has done to me.

Very Much relatable as an Ongoing 11th school student [Science steam] I have been always one who asks multiple questions and striving to learn something new but the school just doesn't care about the "curiosity", "Creativity" And the "knowledge" which would be judged by How much you score Which is totally absurd...I can say that I'm experiencing everything you have been through but Can't change anything even If we strive to...Our fate...Even though India stands in a proud place forwarding in the spot of education, they are suppressing many Talented and skilled students.

[@livelifeloud8485]

When he said that , Indian education system is about how much you memorise that hit me hard as I took admission in one of the best college but what actually happens there is they wants answers in the exam same way as it is written in the text. And since school rely on understanding the concept rather than mugging up I am so much stressed:(. I am very thankful that finally someone talk about this topic🌻

[@mahimamarandi2271]

I'm 15 and what he said about art is so true. I am an average student and that's how i got average I memorize as much as i can. The fact that no one pays attention to art makes me never want to study anything with all my heart and mind. I love music, I started singing and dancing from a young age and knowing the fact that that I won't be allowed to continue that as a part of my future goals, I was afraid to tell my parents about my dream. Now that i don't care about what people say and decided to follow what i love, I took the decision of telling my mother about it. I told her, "mom I'm really into music. I want to join an arts school and learn things like filming, producing and composing and also practice my skills. am i allowed to or can I?" The answer from her was," Dare you think about arts just choose medical or non medical. Get a job, earn fixed amount of money and settle with peace." It did hurt but i kinda found it funny. Well lucky enough that my dad was also an art student and he graduated from SOPA. He totally supports me. Hope my mom will too some day. The education was never the problem but the way education is sold out is the problem.

Sir similar questions arise in my mind. I presently look at kids, having a very stressed life right at a very young age. Everyone wants to top in class, no one agreed to fail, motivated to think differently, learn something new and applying it. We study seed germination just at the age of 10 but don't plant a single tree in the entire life, even knowing its values !! The life has now been defined for everyone, spending it rather than living it, in exactly the prescribed age limits for passing high school, graduation, job, marriage, children, and the same follows. The same monotonous routine, just seeking approval from everyone to be judged as a good person. Fear of questioning doubts so that we don't get rejected or made fun by the society. The entire life we are cramming things without noticing that education is meant to enhance thinking level.

Honestly, So damn true. I am 15 years old and I am a student. And honestly this is the situation in India. Not only for the education system but many things. If someone ask me to either choose to sit in class and let teacher explain you, where as nothing goes into our minds it's a total waste of 40-45 minutes or we could have rather taken to labs and discover some stuff on our own. What will we memorize more easily I guess the things we find out on our own. For example I still remember what our guide told us on the trip to Jaipur which I went back in class 3rd or 4th but I don't remember what our teacher explained us today. Now Many you would say it's just because you didn't pay attention in your class, No it's about experiencing of things. I remember the question that my teacher asked in revision in our class and I gave wrong but I don't remember the question that are teacher gave us today. It's true. Mistakes aren't allowed. Plus there is one more Myth that he didn't mentioned but I would like to THE NOTEBOOKS. Honestly, tell me what's the use of making us write a hundred pages of questions and asked to maintain them where as at last they are of no use. Those notebooks might develop a practice of writing but it's of no use when it won't would help nothing in my career. Also we all give away those notebooks for recycling or the "kabadi wala". We kids or teens are made shut saying "we know better or hamna apsa zyada donniya dekhi ha". I am weak at maths and physics I just don't find it interesting just because my base isn't so good and I don't move forward in any chapters until unless I understand the concept or the chapter I am doing. I am a mediocre student but I am good at singing and dancing and I like playing football and badminton. Last year I tried for getting into the school team of badminton but just because I am overweight and I wasn't able to cope the distance with other girls and was left out the teacher said I can't take you in the team it is a lot of distance though I was raw and good at playing and I would have loved to learn how to play and I could have played more well and even loose some weight. This is what Indian education system is. You give us workshops for not bullying not body shame but I would say it all comes from our roots. We all just ignore the fact that how you all are forcing us to sit at one place in one room for 8 hours, but what's the use when nothing is going in our brain when aren't able to understand. We are kids of 21st century we are curious ones. Yeah I won't even deny that some of us would miss use the freedom we will be given. But in a sea of 100 fishes 90 are always interested in doing new things but 10 are interested in misusing it, but why the 90 should suffer just because of those 10. Right now what the situation is those 10 fishes are also polluting the other 90 because they also think they are on the same boat. We are kids always eager to do new things learn new things but this system of notebooks and books, classes and nothing is just ridiculous. It's not only my opinion it's the opinion of many like me but no one bold enough to speak up. In my class there is a boy, who has failed in 9th and is repeating it but he's good at instrumentes. But the teacher has degraded him so much that now he doesn't even care to take out the book when period starts. Degradation makes us "dihaat". My English teacher always used to point me out if I did something wrong but why always me when others were equally there and I don't know suddenly she became nice to me and ask me now I am more interested in her period, suddenly there is a big smile on my face when I hear it's English period. Even if I write paragraphs about this topic no one would care it's just gonna be a "comment". But in conclusion India needs to upgrade in many things in its education system and in its thinking to. If you are gonna apply the same old methods on us it won't work whether you say it's gonna help you in your life or anything it's gonna be a blahblah for most of us. It's 2018 and the 21st century today technology rules more than human thinking does. The day we all students become exited for going school because it's gonna be something new and different from yesterday. That's the day I will say India has updated, till then I'd we all still living in 19's cause that's what are thinking is and that's what we apply. I appreciate are ansestors for making our base but that that base also need updation. A cake's base won't make it an eligible cake we need to put it in the Owen for baking that's when it becomes eligible.
