We live in India, which is a nation with almost 1.2 billion people. We are being looked with envy by many superpowers because we are blessed with a young population. We have the power and skill to take this nation take a sneak peek at glory. But what's stopping us?
Well, the education which we are being provided with is to be blamed. Our society has adopted an educational system which is doing absolutely no good to us. We are producing tons and tons of graduates who aren't competitive enough to fight their way to jobs, high school students who aren't able to give an extempore speech for 5 minutes, but are able to score 90's in English in their board exams and primary students who aren't strong enough in basic math. With such a pitiable situation at stake, we can never dream of becoming a superpower in the future.
The problem is not with the system but it is the system itself which is a problem!
'Marks, Marks & Marks' is all that a student thinks about. He looks at ways to remember key points in a particular topic with the prime motive of gaining the fully allotted marks for the question that rises out of that topic, but not with the intention of UNDERSTANDING the topic. This is where are lacking big time! We fail to induce the need to 'apply' rather than 'by heart' . We need to bring in a system where marks do not scale a student's effectiveness and competency. We need to go in for a grading system which will the mold the student into a bright young lad who is ready to face the competition outside.
We at WonderWords are committed to this issue in particular as the youth of today understand the loopholes in our education system much better than anybody else in this country..
