So here's my second post in the series of analysis about the education and its purposes?
So, let's see how the current schooling system in India (and that too public -- forget about the government aided) is faring? I believe that the current schooling system is able to do only 25% of it's job. Explanation is below:
As you can see in the figure above, the schools should be able to impart training/education in six categories, however, the Indian schools are providing training only in three areas (academics, physical and creative) aspects. One may ask why half bit of proficiency in the field of Academics, Physical and Creative aspects (actually the reason for 25% performance level). We do not need any science to prove that the learning, prevalent in our schools, is very rote based where the joy of learning is sucked out of the whole experience. Evidently, we faired worst amongst countries like Singapore, US and Australia if we believe India Today's recent survey. So, a lack of experiential learning from academics makes us believe that even schools are failing in imparting the 'right' academics education. Physical and Creative education is also suffering from similar problems (details on that to follow soon...).
So, how are we going to change this when these problems exist in overwhelming quantities throughout the urban society irresepective of any segment. My next post would try to tackle that issue. However, if you differ with our analysis at any point of time, please feel free to jump in -- the discussion would only create a better understanding of the problems and possibly solutions.
