| Summary: | The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think
rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load
the memory with the thoughts of other men.” Education is the fourth necessity for
man after food, clothing and shelter, in today’s competitive world. Education is
indeed a powerful tool to combat the cut-throat competition that man is faced with at
every junctures in life. The importance of education in India is indeed rising with
passing time. Though India has always been a great source of learning for many
years, it still needs to improve not just on the quality of education but also on the
number of people being educated India has been a major centre for learning and
many popular universities existed here. Even today, the country has some of the best
Universities in the world. Besides, it is also facing many challenges in its primary
education while striving to reach 100percent literacy. Through the Universal
Compulsory Primary Education, maintaining the quality of education in rural areas
has been difficult and Kerala is the only Indian state to achieve this goal. In today's
world, studies are a biggest competition in the world. Education is not what it is
supposed to be. The moral values are getting eroded. Social fabric is getting
weakened. We are imparting theoretical knowledge based education. We have to
make the children more aware on socialness. Even the information being given is
very much non uniform in all the states. Education must make the student think,
make them invent new ideas and not reinvent the same wheel. The education system
in India puts more emphasis on the theoretical knowledge than the practical. A
student from the very beginning of their of education are forced to mug up the things
rather than to have free thoughts. In the higher studies as well the condition is the
same. So more stress should be on the rational or practical knowledge that can be
used when required. There are many obstacles to the successful provision of
universal primary and secondary education |
