| The Collapse of Basic Education in the Race for Success | | |
Dr. Vijay Garg
Today is the time of competition. Every student, every parent and every institute is running towards the same goal. But in this blind race, an important question is slowly being left behind: Are we really getting education, or just learning the art of passing a test? Increasing pressure of competition
The importance of competitive exams has increased immensely in the current education system. In the desire to become a doctor, engineer, administrative officer, students get caught in the trap of coaching and test series from a very young age. Due to this pressure, they start focusing on numbers and ranks only instead of understanding the topics.
Neglect of basic education
Basic education means developing the ability to read, understand, think and ask questions. But today:
Students are being victimized by the tendency to rat
The basic concepts of mathematics, language and science remain weak
Curiosity and creativity are decreasing
When the foundation is weak, how long will the tall building last?
The impact of coaching culture
The increasing impact of coaching institutions is making education a business. The purpose of studying here is not knowledge, but to get more marks in the exam. As a result:
Students start to take the studies of school lightly
Dependence on shortcuts and tricks instead of conceptual understanding increases
The real purpose of education is lost
Mental and emotional effects
The effect of this race of success is not limited to studies only. It also affects the mental health of students:
Increase in stress and anxiety
Fear of failure
Loss of confidence
Many times students do not recognize their interests and talents, because they are forced to follow only a fixed path.
The changing purpose of education
The basic purpose of education is the all -round development of a person— moral, intellectual and social. But today the meaning of education is only to get a job. This thinking has made education limited and narrow.
Solution direction
The problem is solved not only by a change in system, but also with a change in thinking:
Emphasis on conceptual education
Learning in schools should be interesting and experimental
Parents do not put unnecessary pressure on children
Students get an opportunity to move forward according to their interests conclusion
It is not wrong to join the race of success, but if we lose our basic education in this race, then this success remains incomplete. We have to understand that a strong foundation is the key to lasting success.
If education is again turned to its original objectives — knowledge and development】, then only we will be able to build a strong and balanced society.
