Indian Education: Mugging up

"Mugging up is called Education"
India aspires to become a superpower and play an important role in the world. To make that happen various loopholes had to be rectified. The bottlenecks we face must be solved in an effective manner. Education system plays an important role for the development of a nation as it enhances the country’s economic growth and technological expertise thereby reducing various social ills such as illiteracy, poverty etc..

What are the real threats?

Suppose you go to a student of 12th standard and ask a question from the text book, the answer he gives would be identical to that in a text book. However doesn’t apply to all students but still most of the students are forced to do so and it has become a norm in their education system. Suppose if there is a mismatch between the answer he gives in the exam and the solution given in the text book, he would be awarded with less marks(though his concept is correct).They expect him to mug up and give the same answer.The education system in general must be held responsible for this.

A good step toward spreading the message of this non-ideal education system
A good example of this cause is featured in the film "3 Idiots". The song 'Give me some sunshine' itself was inspiring one, but still its meaning is undefined. Its real meaning is of course supporting this problem. But at last its just a song even if the lyric are heart boggling and full of moral.


What are the steps needed to be taken in the future for improving this system?

As a matter of fact a revolution is needed to solve this crisis. Students aren’t willing to mug up but they are chocked up in this drainage. We need to emphasis on practical education system wherein students will be able to learn with all the modern technique and equipments available and they need not be a bookworm always. By adopting this modern education system the quality of the education would be improved with a bang. There need not be bundles of examination but the students can be assessed by their achievements during their studies. They need not be loaded with writing a lot of assignments, but they can be given various project works, seminar works, research paper presentation works. This would make the education more simple and we can achieve the goal of a true education system. This would reduce the number of school drop outs.

So at last I would like all to support this cause, who are really willing that Indian education system should be more innovative and creative than just restricting the meaning of education to mugging theories...
