I described the various measures that should be implemented in order to make the Defence sector strong.In this posts, I will be discussing the following sector:
EDUCATION:
For a country to be successful, the inhabitants of that particular country should be educated. It is not necessary that they should be educated in the Western ways. We had our own system of learning which could be incorporated. For a country to become a power, its people should always be proud of it and know its culture, etc. We have had various reknowned persons like Aryabhatta, Sushruta, Kautilya, etc. who studied our own unique way and were pioneers in their respective areas of specializations.
We do not have to ape the Western concepts blindly. We can re-establish our own methods of learning again. We should give more focus to Sanskrit, Urdu, Arabic, Pharsi alongwith English in the languages department. I do not know how far this statement is due to nationalism, but we can take that chance. 'It is said that if the computer is programmed/coded in Sanskrit, there would be no errors at all.'
Revamping of examination system:
Teaching of a subject should not be for the kids to excel in the exams. The exams should not be the be all and end of all things. The exams conducted at the end of the term cannot be a deciding factor of whether a student knows the subject or not. For all we know, the student might have studied it just a few days before the exam and excelled in it. This does not show his grasp of the subject.
Only if we keep questioning, will we be able to get to the solution of how to get to know a students' grasp on the subject.
Revamping the education system:
Right now, the focus is to pass the term exams with flying colors in order to gain entry to the next level with more self-respect than your peers. But, how does this help in increasing the knowledge of a student in a particular subject?
The education system as of now is more rote-based. This should not be the case. The educationists say that this is how it should be because the West demands it and that is why our students are getting such good offers from them.
This should not be the right scenario. Instead of focussing on making our country more developed and keep on looking into what the West wants, then we lose focus as to what we really want.
Implementation of various Government schemes:
First of all, the Government-run schools all across the country are in the most pathetic conditions ever. They should revamp the schools and give salaries to teachers on a scale which is at par if not more than the teachers in the private schools. Only then will the QUALITY teachers will come to teach in government schools. Then comes the implementation of various schemes started by the government which should help in making the children belonging to the poorer section of the society come to school.
These are some the ways to tackle the problems facing the education sector.There might be many more ways to tackle these problems and also there might be many more problems as well which have not been addressed here. But, if we all sit together with a common focus, we can address them too.
Always for all,
the person within.
