Dire Need For A Change Of Syllabus For – ‘The Indian Education System’

Education, as we all know is vital, for the growth of every individual and empowerment in the growth of a nation. Is this critical need, given to all the students in a satisfactory manner? Ironically, the answer is No. The teachers, the management, and the strategy do not satisfy the youth. The quality in education is still a dream in our nation. Let me throw some light on the issues of our Indian education system and suggest some solutions.

According to the mindset of any stereotypical Indian, he wishes to study in a private school, get a graduation degree, get a decent job that pays them six figures every month and he gets married, again he brings up his child in the same way. Does it build the persona of an individual? It is a grim scenario, which every Indian is forced to follow such a system.

There is no equality in education. Not all people can be easily admitted to CBSE or International Schools, because for an Indian to study, he must be able to pay the fees and nothing else matters. The motto of Edvizo is to improve the entire education system and the economically lagging people are offered with scholarships and EMI schemes. By this, irrespective of their positions everyone can get the equal education.

Teachers are the backbone of any educational institution. Only a teacher can change the direction of a society and no other profession influences the society much more. But, the teachers lag in good teaching skills and they do not equip themselves with recent trends in their domain. And also, all the coaching centers are commercialized and many are fake. Edvizo offers to get the information about the institutions from home and hands-on-training in programming can be taken from the home that saves time in this busy world.

When a student is educated he must acquire knowledge, skills, and creativity. Acquiring skills is more important because writing how to build a database is easy but implementing it in the real world is the main challenge. The creativity of storytelling in childhood may pave way for them to design a product in the future. They lag in out of box thinking. Students must learn more apart from their books and for every concept, they learn they must ask a why? to themselves.

Recent research at ‘The Association of Accounting Technicians’, London has revealed that there is a large contradictory review on University and more importantly where a degree can lead, among the school leaving students. The students do not have a clear picture of what they need to learn. As parents are used to some legacy courses, the institutions also do not add the number of courses. Research is never considered when one studies. Edvizo helps one to choose their right career path, and guidelines are given by experts from IITs, IIMs, AIIMs and more.

Dogmatism among teaching faculties makes one to do the same work every day. The students are forced and trained to write the same answers that are memorized by them from books. This may help them get good marks in their board exams but it does not enrich any knowledge in one. Grades never measure one’s Intelligence. Teachers must impart different strategies in teaching the students. They do consider that the practical knowledge is priceless for students.

Technology is into and within every aspect of one’s life. As technology advances the education must also get advanced with it. Programming, simulating and virtualizing of what we have learned is very simple today. But still, the students are forced to learn their MCQs and Q/A. Rote learning is still followed by at most all students and in colleges too.

Students must be given the freedom to choose their course of study. For example, chemistry may work out good for a boy’s dad and he may be a Chemical Engineer, but it is not necessary that the boy should also pursue the same. The boy may love English, History, Music and more. Students must choose their path with the passion. It is not that everyone should walk on the same path. Every individual can also take the road less traveled, or they can make their own path!

Education and Education Institution’s Mafia

The most important and desirable thing human beings are gifted is the wisdom. At the outset, we are programmed in our reality of creation that we all should strive for education to acquire knowledge. In the past, many centuries ago, people acquired knowledge from those who were educated and from the experience of others. They learn how to evaluate through reasons and implement in their lives all the virtues.

Anil Sadgopal is an Indian educationist and activist, known for the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program and for advocacy related to the Right to Education Act. The main feature of basic education is free and compulsory education for children of 7 to 14 years, education through craft, self-supporting education, mother tongue as medium of instruction, ideal citizenship and flexible curriculum.

In olden days educational institutions and teachers were very sincere and earnest in their profession. They ensured that the students were groomed into the system and they learn diligently with all sincerity. As the societies grew and spread across the globe, the education pattern has changed accordingly to suit to whom monetary benefits matters most. The respective governing bodies have issued guidelines to both government school and private schools to ensure students get the benefits. Alas! This has never been translated into factuality and the main purpose was relegated to the back and remained until to date. The government school failed in their aspect of duties whereas the private school has progressed to some extent of the huge cost of financial burden on the parents.

Bhanu Jain wrote in his Policy Institutions and Practice Term Paper and strongly recommended that the common school system is a must step that should be taken to insure the development of India as a superpower and as a developed country. Although it has been well-recognized decades ago that CSS is an essential step for attaining equality, social justice and social change until now no concrete and effective steps have been taken for its implementation.

The grave scenario is the behavior of developed and developing countries. The underdeveloped countries remain below the threshold of basic educational standard awaiting mercy from some philanthropist to elevate their academic level. It is a wishful thinking displaying their incompetence and ignorance to come to terms with reality. They get carried away by the false propaganda and modern infrastructure and doomed defeat at the end. They become victims of financial burden and remained in debt for many years.

These corporate educational institutions aim to haul maximum financial benefits from the parents and acquire properties from the government schools. The façade they create in the form of infrastructure, publicity, pomp and show besides greasing the palms of government officials. They also promote their image on social media and in print media.

On the contrary, the story is different when it comes to government school and its performance. A principal of the Urdu medium school in the old city of Hyderabad (India), Mrs. Gupta has elevated the ranking of the said school from below 250 to an astounding top 5 in the twin cities. It is to be noted that the government school in question has never raised any fee nor the salaries of the teaching staff. It has unequivocally established a fact that who is at the helm of the institution. A sincere and dedicated person will achieve a remarkable feat within the existing system and environments.

If consider, the government schools and the number of students who not only excel in academic curriculum but also in sports and other extracurricular areas. All outstanding sportsmen, whether in Golf, Hockey, cricket or any other faculty of sports has come from average families and government or private schools which do not belong to corporate school category. In the field of politics, research or administrative services majority has come from humble background and poor financial status. They all studied in regular government school in simple and humble surroundings. All philosophers, scholars and geniuses are from a humble background and not from the corporate education system.

The outstanding features of all corporate schools are hypocrisy, corrupt practices and snobbish attitude. They practice class distinction and make them conscious of their background. It is not openly reflected nor advertise, but progressively the Zionist culture infiltrated in Indian education system to create a society of corrupt wealthy group as seen in western societies.

It evidently and unequivocally established that what matters is not the corporate school, but the leadership and will to change the scenario. The foreign degrees and overseas stay for many decades are no criteria to achieve remarkable feat. The sincerity and dedication of commitments to provide valuable and meaningful education to poor and below average income group children is of prime importance.

These corporate educational institutions are slow poison which will make our societies hollow from inside. They are the termites and cause irreparable damage to the societies and their very personalities. They make feel inferior among themselves ultimately, they will be relegated in delusion in the long run. They will drift in the wilderness of chaos and confusion. They live a short life thriving on financial gain, eventually failed in their vision of faith and religious practices.

Listing Education on a Resume

So you’ve gone to the time, expense and effort to complete some aspect of formal education. Or maybe you started to work on this, but then inevitably, life happened… had to take a job to pay the bills, got married, had kids, moved, etc. etc. There’s a universe of things that life can throw at you that can interrupt even the most well-intentioned plans for education.

There are some rules of thumb out there when listing education on a resume which should be considered.

1. DON’T list the year you graduated. Unless you are in an education, government, scientific or highly technical field where having a date of graduation is essential, please don’t broadcast how old you are by including this information. (Human resource managers do the math!) Sure, if you are an adult learner who just got done with a degree, it’s new and important to you just like it is to a person fresh out of high school who immediately went to college. However, resist the temptation to perhaps look younger by listing the graduation date!

With the exception of the four fields mentioned above, the cold, hard truth about education is this:

Most employers really only care whether you graduated… Yes or No.

They don’t care what your GPA was, how many times you made it to the Dean’s list, what scholarships you landed, and sure, you can list that you graduated as magna cum laude or summa cum laude… but that often isn’t a deciding factor as to whether or not to hire you- it just becomes distracting with all of the scholarships, awards, grade points, etc. Keep it clean and simple.

2. A common mistake recent graduates also make is that they want to list their education FRONT AND CENTER… naturally because this is generally the MOST IMPORTANT THING the person has ever done in their lives to date. However, most human resource managers are really probing for what kinds of experience that the person has, not their education. So the best advice is to put the education later in the résumé rather than near the beginning.

3. DO list all of your education. Some people in this economy are becoming sensitive about feeling ‘over-qualified’ or ‘over-educated.’ Think of it this way- employers are in the catbird seat right now… they can afford to hire workers that they couldn’t dream of hiring just five years ago. So they are ‘cherry-picking’ the top candidates and if they can find a top leader in a field who is willing to come work for them, they’ll gladly take them. Who wouldn’t?

Additionally, if you didn’t complete a degree, you can indicate: “Program coursework in: (area of study).

Give yourself credit for the time you’ve put into it, even if the end result isn’t what you had hoped for. It shows initiative and a desire to improve your knowledge and skills.

I’ve had a few clients that I’ve worked with who had put down a degree name on their résumé, but it turned out that during our consultation, that, well, they never ever REALLY ended up finishing their degree.

This kind of misrepresentation is one of the oldest tricks in the job search book… if this sounds like you, it would be in your best interest to be as forthright as possible about your educational background. Human resource managers are well aware of this trick!!! Quite honestly, the EASIEST background check to do in the world is to verify whether a person graduated or not from a particular institution. Fudging it or trying to convey a different impression is a fast-track to the trashbin for your résumé.

So this is an ‘either’ or an ‘or’ situation.

EITHER you got the degree OR you took program coursework in a field.

If you are currently in progress, you can indicate:
Degree name (spelled out, please): area of study (anticipated completion date: ______)

As for the rest of your education, anything else that is not from a formal, accedited institution or career school falls into the ‘professional development’ category, and can include everything from industry certifications, workshops, trainings, continuing education units (CEUs), conferences, seminars, conventions and the like.

You’ll want to call this specific section “Professional Development,” which conveys to an employer that you are always actively taking steps to improve and hone your skills so you can do your job better.

Not working right now? Have some resources? Try keeping up on industry trends by registering for a class in your field through a trade association. It’s a great way to keep your ‘toe in the pool’ and stay current.

Keeping your mind engaged while looking for employment is very important. Sometimes, being laid off is the very opportunity needed to open a new chapter for professional enhancement… there simply wasn’t time for it previously. You never know where this can lead to! A recent client of mine spent the money to get certified with another industry credential. One of the requirements of the certification was to take an exam. When she showed up at the exam location, she found out that she was the only unemployed person there- everyone else was there through their company. The amazing thing was that she got three highly-qualified job leads by talking to the people there at the exam location… and she was so thrilled that the exam itself wasn’t the highlight of the day!
