I feel that the education system in india needs a major overhaul. At present it’s based on consumption system ….if I get good marks then I have better future prospects ,I can make more money ,buy more and bigger house,car etc it’s like living in one’s own bubble disconnected with the impact our choices have, on the world around us ,on the environment. The focus is not on being an aware individual and hence an aware member of society . The focus is not on creating an environment where children ask questions ,or to make them wonder about the difference between needs and wants , or how the amount of waste can be reduced in each household …..
The focus could be on competing with their own self rather than the world around them ,if at all there has to be competition. E.g if I have to run a short distance race or a marathon ,isn’t it better to compete with my own previous record than someone else’s. I could just go on and on . I would love to know what people on this forum think about education system in their own countries.
