Everyone one of us at some point during our academic ventures must have asked this question to ourselves.
With the advent of age of information and technology which changes every passing second,we wonder, does our present education system ill equip us with the knowledge that it imparts. Much emphasis seems to be given on method of rote learning with little encouragement for experimental studies or research work.
Will this help us in the long run? Or are we still learning what has already been out of practice worldwide 20-30,years back? Is there a need to revamp the whole syllabus of courses and the overall functioning?
There's a saying that goes- Education isn't filling of a pail but the lighting of the fire. Our present system of learning hardly seems to be promoting that.
If there's difference between literate and educated,where does our system fit in?
Education isn't supposed to be a job-fetching exercise,its supposed to be learning experience which should be enjoyed rather than feeling burdened about.
To add to the miseries none of the finest instituitions of our country have been ranked in the top 50 universities of the world. What are the implications of this? And for how long are we going to carry on the same old way which clearly doesn't seem to be working anymore in our favour.
Does our system fulfill its responsibility of building up a foundation for an all round youth of globalized world or do we need to introspect and change our ways before its too late?
Questions are too many answers too few.
Would like to know what you people think about it.Do post your take😀
