Hey People,
Today I was talking to my mother and then a thought suddenly struck me.
That the Indian System of Education, gives too much emphasis on marks and lesser on technical knowledge.
I mean, look around you. You see everyone so raged up on marks that we fail to actually see that there are more talented students out there, who will be able to do more than all the studious students out there.
We have many examples in our life itself, people who have made their mark in the world without completing their college or without a degree.
It may also be that sometimes, the one who used to study more, actually will not be able to achieve anything in his life, because he had no knowledge of how the world worked, as he was too wrapped up in his cocoon of studies and books.
Granted, you require a basic knowledge to go ahead with your life and all the stuff, but inst technical knowledge equally important?
Other Education Systems give equal importance to all activities Be it studies, sports or technical stuff, like how to use a equipments.
Graduates from Indian Schools have with them no experience of anything, except from whatever they read.
It could be that even our society is way too focused on marks, that they forget what is actually important.
Even the Great Mahatma Gandhi wanted an educational system where technical knowledge was given to the students along with knowledge from books.
Few schools today follow that path, with mostly opting for CBSE or other equally competent curriculum.
I say that we should bring about a change in the curriculum and include technical knowledge.
And while we're at it, also include sex education... It would help a lot of divorces from happening.
