Degradation of education system!

Education is no more something that boosts the confidence of the students, rather it
kills the self confidence in the students who can’t study or be mechanical up to the
teachers' expectations, particularly our Indian education system. On a positive note, we
could say that this education system has made the students so competitive and made it
possible for them to compete globally with the students abroad. We all know that Indian
students play a major role in the commercial and economical growth of the countries abroad.
This would be only because of the stringent and rigorous up bringing in their schools and
colleges.

Having seen the positive side of our education system, we should also admit that it has some
great flaws as well, for plundering the creativity and natural skills from the students. This is
because of the practices that are so mechanical, drilling their students for the highest
percentage. The modern day schools have no concern about the special skills of the children.
The students are practiced to follow the syllabus and blueprints for the exams without
any diversion but they fail to practice them to follow their passion. They are taught to
score the maximum marks but not taught how to develop their skills that they have other
than studying.

The other important fact to note is that the modern day schools refrain the students from
excelling in sports, thinking that would deviate them from concentrating on their studies.
It's totally unjustifiable. A student who doesn't score maximum marks in his studies, maybe,
will have the ability to excel in his favourite sport. The school managements nowadays
seek popularity for their Institutions instead of concentrating on the students’ passion and
real interest.

We cannot blame just the modern day schools but the parents should also be inculpated.
When parents themselves don't seem to understand the plight of their own children, how
do we expect the school institutions to really care for the students. Parents should understand
that just marks cannot frame their child's future. They should not be judgmental about their
children's abilities based on their marks. Only when the parents become aware of this, their
children would stand out of the crowd, trying hard to prove their skills and will understand
that education isn't everything. Their parents should support their children and be their
backbone in helping them expose their hidden talents, that even their children or aren’t
aware of.

On the whole, our Indian education system promotes rat race where they conduct several
examinations in a year, not knowing how stressful it could be for the students. Having
lots of examinations continuously makes the students numb and they lose their imagination
and creative power. It would be so rejuvenating and helpful for the whole student community
if the government takes some serious steps to bring changes in our education system. When
it comes to students and parents, it's just about thinking out of the box and not focusing on
winning the rat race.
