Group discussion: By - Team UN Volunteers
Let face some questions:
• Why west has to look india while recruiting their top employees?
• Which education system has produce most powerful ceo‘s?
• Why can’t google or amazon can run without indians ?
• Which education system has skilled world class engineers ?
• Why india produce world class managers?
Let's discuss on it.
• Mrs. Bhavneet Kaur : Values which we inculcate in our students are a very imp point to answer this
• Mr. Nahid Raza UNV: We are enriching in contents - Edu with consistency, Diversity of children in class, Indians are good at Maths, We are multilinguists, Parents cultivate values, Edu has respect in India, System contains culture, Values are brought in by each stakeholder, Everyone knows importance of edu.
Perception is very nourishing in India. Idea is to empower children to think indepedendly, Give them autonomy, Project work, Above timely literacy.
System is fine. We as parents and teachers fail to understand it.
• Mr Alok Kumar Mohanty: Historically, we were belittled citing our traditional knowledge by the foreign rulers. The British legacy still continues after independence which tries to produce more self hating Indians. Freedom is yet to come in our minds as our education system is not making us free in mind. True, we find all the IITans and MBA serving the foreign masters so well but hardly we find original researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
Mother tongue if respected and given due importance along with English will help in overcoming slavishness.
Self hatred which was systematically instilled in us through English medium education. Second the Marxist Prof interpreted every thing through a lens that found fault with every thing in the past. All our knowledge and achievement were hidden under an agenda. We forgot that we are the only living civilization in the world out of 46 who have perished.
The greatness of our forefathers need to be brought before the new generation then only this self hatred will get cured. If we look at American and European model of civilization then we notice it is very much individualistic that aggrandizes the egos separateness.
As a result family system is collapsing giving rise to decadence in the society, ecology and environment. Its the money that is the God there. But due to individual freedom innovations are many.
In our country we are trying to ape their failed model when the world is looking for an answer from us to avoid the looming crisis. We do have an answer but not aware of it. Please read a book called "Human Cycle" by Sri Aurobindo.
• Mr. S C Vohra: If less than 1% born Genious Indians get top notch job abroad ,it doesn’t mean our education system is brilliant. Our education system needs immediate reforms doesn’t need any stamp of approval from any agency. It’s an outdated system where coaching institutes are flourishing day in and day out.
• AZEEZ: Our only problem is , the known, one knows system of Education is not in the forefront to guide, reason might be no opportunities or no willingness or no response to their suggestions.....and the unknown, who know not at all Education are at our guiding ends.
Both are right persons placed in the wrong place -The cause for the pollution in Education sector.
It has to be changed. Heroes to be sung louder. Voice should be heard. To be followed for the betterment of our society.
• Mrs. Malyasri Mukherjee: Our education system basically is an information based system where students are taught how to install information into the hard disks of their mind. It doesn’t teach them how to apply those information in real life. If you see, even now after the completion of engineering or medical or masters these students have to undergo training process in their own job sector. Has anyone ever think on this that why they have do a training even after completing their higher studies ? Many will say that they gain experience or something else but in reality they are being trained how to apply their information in this realistic world.
There is question asked that our education system is the best but I differ to this point as no education systems can be flawless. All are flawed but the way the system is delivering the education should change. Still now in universities the curriculum students learn are outdated and not useful.
Again looking at the global context, international companies hire Indians only because they are diligent, hardworking and know how follow orders and get the work done not because they have gained so much knowledge.
• Mrs. Madhumita Jana: In olden days, India had the Guru Kula System of Education in which all the learning majorly were linked to nature and not just memorizing some information from here and there.
Gradually the system of Education started changing and more focus was on knowledge based and information based Education System. But today with the understanding of the importance of application based learning, our system has the potential to create and produce the best of students in every sphere of life. Our focus on concept learning right from primary level enable students to widen their views and apply the same in their professional lines later.
I agree with Nahid Sir and
feel that our Education System is amazing and we as parents and educators need to understand , appreciate and accept it.
• Mrs. Roma Narang: I agree that our education system is not producing able citizens who are innovators, creators or good decision makers.
First, they are sabotaged by parents by making them pursuade the ways, followed by family since long past as stereotypes by not expressing one's heart fully. Children don't get an environment to be open for any enquiries. Their inquisitive nature gets distorted with irrelevant replies. In an appropriate age of school, where intellect and potential of children can get the wings of imagination and creativity, where circuits of their brain are supposed to get a healthy stimulation. All this get infertile in lack of authentic sensorial ,practical activities due to inappropriate foundation forming environment and teachers.According to Jerome Bruner, children represent information and knowledge in their memory in three different but interrelated modes such as action based, image based and language/symbol based. It needs a perfect curriculum and intervention of staff and employer as well. Children either young or small need concrete experiences and education must add less theoretical more sructured in a way that engages the learners in mental, conceptual and receptive manner. To fill that gap, recruitment, training, counseling, resources, class dynamics and pedagogy all needs to be redesigned. Parents must be given a particular training. Whole education system can be overhauled by overhauling the relevant person and resources as well from top to bottom.
• Mrs. Aruna Singh: Education system itself can never be flawed. The curriculum is there but it is our responsibility how to interpret and deliver. There are teachers who deliver the topic full of enthusiasm and creativity. Teaching is an art which has to be cultivated with reading, learning and communication. It is due to these live teachers we are able to boast of such accomplished CEO’s. Focus, dedication and creativity have to be developed in every teacher which will percolate to students. Education has to focus more on our skills and aptitude, parental or peer pressure puts the children into wrong path. Let the children to explore, experience, research and come to conclusion to decide their goals. Parents counselling has to become the core focus. Students are very receptive and easy to mould. We have to have our vision for next 25 years and guess what is going to happen and what would be the skill requirements at that time as we have to prepare our children for that era.
• Mrs. Geeta: But if we see: The CEOs and the managers are Indians but the companies are owned by?
So so we need to change our education system of British age from making the slaves to a boss.
• Ms. Leena Rai: Very aptly said that indians are given credit overseas they need the doctors, the software engineers,the policy makers but how many of the educationists and educational reforms maker are in demand there?We check the data of immigration and there is the least scope for them why the biggest question because of the faults in the system not in the knowledge and guiding light
This industry is in the wrong hands either as the owner of the system or a few are behind their own self interests of gains and negotiating on this.Every single company comes into the field with a new product and coaching centres too lure the parents and school system for their own benefits
Right words of sir we need to remove this kind of pollution from the education.We have the worth but worthless in the eyes of Indians only but the same product gets the right and justified share from abroad so brain drain becomes the consequence or the healthy fruitful result of the individual to survive with respect.
• Mrs. Phani Kumari: Here teachers are nit given to explore and interact with the students. Completion of the portion is the main criteria. If in case, pricipal gives little liberty to complete the so called 'syllabus'. Parents directly interact with the management, Management is in no position to listen either to the principal or the teacher concerned. As parents would have colourfully explained with teachers close to the management. This demoralise the spirit of the enthusiastic teacher and the principal. To stick on to the job, pricipal adheres strictly to the completion of syllabus followed by question and answers,test etc.
This can be resolved only when the board gives only content and not prescribe the text. Wherein, teachers can use different strategies taking day to day simple examples and life situation to understand the concept.
• Mrs. Jemi: To answer why west focus our resources for their top employment..
Our Educational system is the best.
World-class education
Indian civilization is one of the oldest ones on the block and has always significantly contributed to the arena of knowledge, thanks to its varied cultural, geographical and traditional background. Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics or Economics, India has always nurtured talents in its cradle and loads of foreign travelers also have streamed into the country for acquiring knowledge and education since centuries. The prudent educational system of the time therefore has strong roots in the cultural richness of the country. In the 21st century, India is a super power in education with an array of world class educational opportunities in its schema.
• Holistic educational system
India has always been a pioneer of the “Gururkul” system, in which the bondage shared by the student and the teacher is something unique and special. A comprehensive development of the mind and the soul is observed best in this “holistic” approach to education. The exact format of the gururkul system is missing in the urban set-up of the country today, but the essence still remains and this works to heighten the educational quality and excellence at all levels.
• Front line institutions
India is home to several vanguard educational institutions like IIT (Indian institute if Technology), JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), IIM (Indian Institute of Management), Tata Institutes and so on. These are all internationally recognized names in the global education industry with world-class facilities and conveniences for students.
• Study options
The study options in India are widely diversified in all fields of education. One can exercise his preferences in studying offline, online, in-campus, off-campus for a course. Distant learning choices are also available these days. The Central Government has done its best to make the study opportunities flexible in nature to facilitate optimal student participation.
• Cost of education
One of the best advantageous points of the Indian education system is its inexpensiveness. Unlike other developed countries in the world, knowledge is clubbed with economy here and any student willing to explore the abundantly spread resources of education in the country can do so without spending exorbitantly.
• Accountability to student learning and reform in governance:
Success of education must be determined by inputs such as number of classrooms, books in the library or by the ratio of the teachers. - We must hold our education system accountable to high standards of student's development.
