Education.

Being qualified enough to have a 5 figured monthly salary or being knowing by-heart the theorems of the great mathematicians. Is this what education is all about?

Honestly, I feel the basic definition of education is flawed. It goes like “the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university”. Education for me is the basic foundation on which a person’s character and life is built upon. It is not a virtue that can be measured by grades but it is something that has to be understood and taken in.

It is a known fact that the most famous personalities, even in the field of education did not follow the way in which everyone else was educated. They chose to think beyond the ordinary and this in turn lead to various discoveries and inventions that the unfortunate future generations study about as a part of the boring curriculum.

The education that is imparted to students at the primary age is what sets the standard for their future. If at the tender age of 9-10, a child is made to mug up the syllabus as if they are stories then it leaves a bad impression on them about the very system of education.

Education is not meant to fill pockets but build nations.

The preset education system which focusses on the theoretical part of the subject matter has proved not to be effective. Better understanding is achieved when one puts to practice what he/she learns. So I my humble opinion, I would suggest a more practical approach to the subject should be done and at the same time, the syllabus that has not been changed since ages is a disturbing truth of our system.

Hoping to see a better life for the future generations.

Educate to enlighten!
