Modern education is useful or harmful,A complete study of present education system, Researched facts

 Hello my dear friends

How are you,I hope you will be better and safe during the pandemic situations.

According to Mohandas karamchand Gandhi education is the source to develop heart,hand and head of learner. That is good and practically true but is our present education system fulfilling the same needs of holistic development ?

Today's education is mainly focused on the cognitive domain of human development.

Especially in India most of school education institutions are dedicated for the cramming of facts. Board results have become the symbol of respect in society. Are you not agree with me?

Let's see these questions- 

1) why we read in the headlines of newspapers that someone's parents are bothering him/her to get more marks in exams ?

2)why students decide to suicide ?

Now we should focus gradually on the  merits and demerits of present education system- 

Merits of present education system:-

•  It is good to teach theoretical subjects as political science, history etc.
• It decides a minimum time period of education to become qualified or eligible to attempt in any competition exam.
• It has a easy and fast evaluation system.
• Due to present education system our classrooms are diversified.
• It doesn't support the idea of segregation of students on the basis of their abilities because it can create inferiority complex between the students.
• It focus on the compulsory learning for every student of such basic subjects as mathematics and science as well as languages till the 10th standard.

Limits of present education system:-

• It doesn't fulfill the requirement of holistic development, the maximum power of present education system is dedicated to develop cognitive aspect.
• Lack of learning by doing
• Doesn't respect individual differences
• Present education system  doesn't pay heed to the different rate/speed of individual's learning.
• Mainly give importance to marks.
• Lack of vocational training
• Doesn't provide paths to creativity
• Doesn't develop the feeling of nationalism
• It is far away from skill development
• Education has become market
• Doesn't proceed to understanding and reflective levels of teaching
• Doesn't follow necessary student ,teacher ratio
• Doesn't have property trained teachers
• Doesn't develop values
• Doesn't diagnose the problems of students
• Curriculum is not related to daily life experiences.

Suggestions to improve present education system:-

• Include teachers in curriculum framework
• Provide alternate curriculum.
• Don't focus only and only on measurement, focus on evaluation
