On a casual note, we all have been witness to how the Indian Education system smothers free thinking to function like a uniform product manufacturing machinery.Regardless of your talents you are subjected to the gruesome burden of the unwanted and extensive syllabus in spite of knowing that you may not actually need that knowledge for your future.As a result of this everyone just ends up wasting their time doing something that they never really wanted.
Throughout the world our education system is renowned for its quality and the level of difficulty.I will honestly acknowledge probably it is this unwanted amount of study is one of the reason to why we stand out, but one has to consider this fact as well, that there are better ways of imparting knowledge among the youth than to maintain a curriculum which is pro-mass production and anti-individualism.
Couple of years back Kapil Sibal ,the then HRD minister came up with a set of radical measures to ease the pressure of our system.So, here is the fun part,he bought in the grading system in the Grade-10 boards.This according to his ministry would be a way to ease things up for the students,totally ignoring the fact that this would instead lead to amounting of apocalyptic level of pressure on the people as they enter grade 11.earlier, at least with the experience of boards students would be familiar of how to go about handling the boards.Declaring the 10th boards redundant wasn't the most noble of ideas.
Recently,something about introducing a 4 year course structure in Delhi University came up.This is only makes me wonder to who exactly sits and comes up with such ridiculous decision which are not only stupid but also outrageous.I'm not against the introduction of a system which allows people to take up specific subjects and hence, design their own degrees, like the way it is in American college,but the sheer fact that our infrastructure at college level and staff are not equipped to handle such loads makes me think how ignorant can the decision makers be.Is it soo difficult to analyse the practicality of an option.I won't be surprised if such decisions are taken by bunch of people who are wiling to jeopardize other people's lives only to gain little recognition in their work-field.
