Many a times, a question is asked in Infosys® or some other company interview, that whether the education system in India was appropriate. Or whether candidate would like to bring a change in education system in India. whatever may be the answer. But one thing everybody will accept. And it is all about the overall quality. I use word overall. Many institutions are there that are very good and doing excellent work. But how many are they in numbers? And how many of them are non-english medium. The number is very small compared to overall number. The school education given in Govt. schools is very poor compared to private institutes. But the education provided in the professional government colleges is excellent and better than most of its private counterparts. Can we do something to minimize this gap? Oh! forget about government doing something. We should craft future of our motherland. Why to depend on the government?
A day wasted in childhood can be equivalent to one complete year later. Hence, let's take the responsibility on our shoulders. Why to wait for others to initiate? Let's bring the change on our own. Any rural school will allow educated person to teach specific subject in different manner than what the school teacher teaches. I don't say that school teachers are not good. I have full faith on them. But there is a need of driving factor. And a different angle of perspective. It is not at all necessary to teach the school subjects only. Along with school subjects, other good knowledge also can be shared. For example, computers, sports, general awareness, satisfying them by answering unanswered questions of them. Just have a trial and think how do one feels when one takes up a free class and be with the children (primary or middleschool).
So, let's be with them. Let's inspire them to be like true child of nation. Let's answer the queries they put forward. May be we learn something from it. Just an hour in some weekend is sufficient. Instead of wandering here and there or seeing TV shows, lets put a step forward to bring quality in education.
It does not require monetory investment. But, yes, it is a huge national investment that one may not even imagine about the gain later. And for this imagination, there is an absolute requirement of action. We are the ones who will carry the faith, the glory, good customs, the heritage and our nation to future, to next generation.
