Indian Education system :(

Read till end especially if you are a student

  The Indian education system wants its students to just continue the practice of rote learning and mugging up answers. They expect the students to just stuff all the possible theorems, tables, rules, definitions, exceptions, etc. The Indian education system is basically testing our memory and not our knowledge. This practice of mugging up and rote learning is going  on since the British  rule in India.
Its a sad thing that we are still following the old 18th century method of learning. The text-books that we are using are mostly not up to date. They still have their old information in it. Whats the point of learning the old information which is of no use. 

India is a country where the government will change the name of a place, a road or be it a railway station within a week. On the contrary if there are any mistakes in the text books they are least bothered. The GDP rate of India as per 2018 was around 7% - 7.4%, and the Indian government is spending less than 3% on education

The Indian government is so keen on ranking India on almost every status that they have just ignored the education system. There are many ways through which a country can prosper and education is one of them. Through this outdated syllabus, students are being judged by his/her memory power. students have no freedom to think creatively or to question the textbook.

As far as I know, no one has come up and asked me about those mathematical sums which I had
learnt in my 7 std. Neither have I been able to use them in my day-today-life. I being an arts student, have never got a chance to dissect any animal, insect or any plant which I had no other option but to remember in my 8, 9 or 10 grades. Those chemical reactions and their names along with all the balancing equations that I was taught in my previous grades are of no use to me today. I have used them as my social media account password. I don't know why we were taught all those things when they were of no use.
The only smart and wise decision I remember was opting for general math instead of regular math, because I had made up my mind about pursuing Arts after 10 grade.
I wish we had similar options for science as well. Another bitter truth is we are not being given practical knowledge. We just have to sit for our lectures, try to grasp whatever we can and then during exams we ought to vomit out whatever the question paper wants us to. Shockingly most of the times our English answer sheets are handed over to few Marathi teachers, few to Science teachers.
The same happens to our other subject answer sheets as well. All thanks to the Mumbai University. They just provide these teachers with an answer key. So all they have to do is just check if the answer matches to the answer key.

 The pressure of getting very good marks in-order to rank the best among the batchmates has increased so much that students end up giving up their life. Various movies have been made depicting the struggles faced by students. It's high time now to stop the traditional old way of learning which dates back to the 18 century, and maybe that's the reason some of the famous and well established youtubers like Ranveer Allahbadia and Bhuvan Bam have made a video on thier youtube channel regarding the indian education system

Thanking you for reading till the end, dont forget to leave a comment down below, also share it with everyone.

    Big disagreement with the point that said we learnt stuff that wasn't useful. People will not know if they want to pursue a career in science if they never experience it. It being compulsory upto10th grade is a pretty good decision if you ask me .Also, math is more than just formulas, it teaches logic and reasoning, something most people lack (lol). But it is true about stuff being outdated. Just homeschool or drop-out if you want to do it differently.

Never Judge a Book by its Cover

Image
W ell judging others on the basis of what we have heard or seen is very easy because it is the human tendency to come up with any conclusion at that given time or rather spontaneously. People have the right to do whatever they want to, so why should we get the bad name tag by judging them? Give a chance to each and every individual to do whatever they want to do unless and until you are getting offended by their action. They have their freedom, let them enjoy it. If you are getting hurt by what they are doing confront them first before coming to any conclusion, because it makes no sense if you have already judged them before confronting and by doing this you are making a big mistake and always remember you will be judged the same way as you are judging others Even if you come to a point wherein you are about to come to some conclusion, make sure that you put yourself in that same situation and start to analyze why he/she has done that. whatever you have heard from

Do what YOU want

These are one of the few questions that comes to ones mind whenever he/she is thinking of doing something, or thinking of executing their plans. What will the society say?                                         What will he/she think about me?                                                                                                                                       What will others say?                                                                                                               While we are living in this 21st century, I still don't understand why people care about what the society will say, what others will say, how will they judge me, etc. All you got to do is concentrate and focus more on your work, on what you want to do. These jobless people have nothing to do, that's why they just keep on doing their only work of judging people on the basis of what they do. There are no written records for what to do and what not

Second Chance (Part 1)

Image
A  chance  is all we need  to prove ourself , to show our skills and to prove what we can do. Without a chance  we can do nothing. Don't ever hesitate to give yourself a second chance in life. A second chance acts as an opportunity  to improve our mistakes, our behavior, ways of understanding things and alot more Every morning is a second chance for us. However it depends on how we use it. We must use it carefully, because we don't know what may happen next. Things take time to improve. You must do everything with patience. Understand things, ponder on how you will make it better. Don't be in a hurry, and then implement it at the right time but do not be late  If you have failed in life, don't get demotivated.  Get up and face it. Always have a 'never-say-die' attitude. Give yourself  a second chance in life. You may fail today, but if  you work hard then you can be the champ tomorrow. Famous personalities like Albert Einst

                                In today's period, most of us are always busy regarding how to move ahead of a competitor. How to defeat of competitor. Right from the start, in each and every aspect of our life we all have been taught how to defeat the person who is in competition with us. Not everything in life that we have been taught is right. Selecting our competitor is one of the few things that we shouldn't have been taught. and neither should we teach our future generations.                                                   You might be thinking  why am I suddenly saying so?                             Well each and every person has a completely different mindset which is for sure un-predictable, and it works differently. Few people may like the work done according to their satisfaction or rather I'd say as it pleases  them. Well, on the other hand people like their work done the traditional way.                  Each and every individual has a purpose

NEVER LOSE THEM

Image
Life is all about the relation you maintain with people, be it your friends, parents, siblings, etc. Your family should always come first in your priority list and then comes your friends. Well, that's what I believe. True friends never leave you alone in your difficulties. They always stand with you . Around 7-8 years ago my family  shifted to Thane and it was my first day to school.  I was waiting for the school bus below my society and I  saw this guy standing across the street wearing the same school uniform as I was. So I felt nice with the thought  that I'll have a classmate from the same locality. Days passed by, both of us became good friends. We started sharing our secrets, our parents started knowing each other and so on. We had each other's back. He used to cover up for me. We had a very good bonding of friendship and we were more of a family than friends.  Till today we have each other's back. We had our difficult time too. Infact, th

THAT SMILE

Image
Fortunately there are still few things which costs nothing, but gives much in return. Smile comes under them. A day without a smile is a day in vain, Just smile to kill pain. As they say the world smiles with you. When you smile, not only you but a couple of more people around you too smile. Smile is contagious just like laughter. Its a human tendency to smile back at someone who smiles at you. As you commence your day, early in the morning or any time of the day, step out of the house by giving a smile to your parents or anyone in the house.  By doing so not only will they feel nice, but you will feel better by seeing a smile on your parents face. Then as you walk up to your work place or towards your destination, try sharing a smile to whoever you meet. You'll be surprised to see what may happen next. At the end of the day you might even get a 5 star rating from your uber driver if you  shared smile with him. Your colleagues may stop speaking ill about you if you s

WHAT IS SUCCESS FOR ME?

Image
The word  succes s  means the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.  That's what google showed me when I asked my google assistant " what is success? " Although I had an answer for that question and that too from google which most of the people rely on, I wasn't satisfied with it. My brain wasn't ready to accept that as an answer, because that was an answer from google about what is success for google.  My answer would be different. Not only me but each and every individual will come up with different answer on their success. Even a child who has learnt how to walk will have a completely different story about how he/she started to walk. His/Her story about it will be his/her success story about how he/she started to walk. Well there is no success like failure. Whenever I have failed in life whatever it maybe. I have never been demotivated by it. Instead I have always learnt from my past and  my failures, which has always helped me gain success. S
