THE NEED TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM OF EDUCATION

“Education is a basic right; every child should get it”

This is what we usually get to hear at rallies, speeches, in debates and where not. But if we think practically is it really a basic necessity and if it is so then how much efforts are put in for this basic necessity by us and by our government? Do we really bother what is going around us? I don’t think anyone of us has that much of time and energy to waste out like that. But you know if we want a change we need to change our perspective first!

If you compare the level of education of today and that of five or ten years back, there is a huge and a shocking difference and believe me, the result is no good. Not taking the bigger statistics we just make a study on the ground level, it will surely point out that education levels have deteriorated to such an extent that now the students have to suffer. Instead of providing quality education to the parents, the schools, the teachers and the whole system is just running before the mysterious word ‘marks’.

This word has just brainwashed the minds of everyone from playgroup till class 12^th the children are just under the burden of some so-called books in which they are just taught facts no development of brain takes place which is the main motive of education. Seeing a child carrying a bag heavier than his own weight is no new sight. With their mental health, their physical health is also weakening. Earlier children used to be always involved in some physical activity but now they just avoid it and even if they are given some free time they just have a haunting word going in their mind “THE HOMEWORK”.

But these children are luckier than others as they still get some education because a huge part of our society is still deprived of it, they still can't make to go to school. Conditions in some part of our country are so poor that even the kids have to work to support their family and sometimes even beg and this act of begging just destroys each and every talent they have. They never get to know about the outside world and the real meaning of life is always hidden from them.

You know the shocking revelation is that this all happens in front of us and we pay no attention to it, but when a murder, a rape, a theft or any other gruesome activity occurs in our society it is we who are found shouting slogans, conducting candle marches and blaming the government and its tiers. From my point of view, we should have much more sensitivity towards our actions and what we really are supposed to do.

So, I think it is essential for each and every individual to at least get some basic education because this basic education is like the counseling which helps to differentiate between the right and the wrong path and also leads to having a mature mind.
