It is high time that the school education is reviewed very seriously

Apart from the mess that is there in the school system, it remains to be seen, how many challenges will one face in implementing the so-called New Education Policy at the State level, and with the kind of spirit in which it is sought to be implemented. For example, one learns that in plus 2, after the tenth standard, it is possible to study Sociology, Political Science and History. This means that the person is open to a career in any of these three fields, and further more, go on to acquire even a doctorate degree.

While all this is fine, it remains to be how many competent teachers are there in the rural and semi-urban areas, where the CBSE schools are now equal in number or even more than the State Board schools.

What we need is a big review and ensure that mere cramming does not take place. The "illam thedi kalvi" of the Tamil Nadu Government is a good scheme, where the student is made to think laterally, at least to some extent. We need innovations at every level. Let there be very serious reviews on what can be done immediately, and over the next ten years, at the school level.

The new education policy has been discussed many times on this platform and the pros and cons are even discussed in Group Discussions. Definitely, the new policy is going to bring many changes and be helpful for the student
As mentioned by the author the competency of the teachers is always a question mark. But the private schools where many teachers are not qualified are doing better than government schools where all the teachers are very well qualified. The commitment of the teachers is very important. This point also was discussed many times on this platform.
The teachers in government schools are more worried about administrative jobs rather than teaching and the involvement of local leaders in the school issues is also a hindrance. The government should think more about how to make teachers involve more in teaching and how to get good results rather than changing the syllabus and pattern itself. All state governments should work seriously on this subject.

Even though a new education system has been introduced and many other changes are being undertaken in the past year, i agree that a serious evaluation of our school system can help us a great deal. Schools are the second home for students, it's the source of their primary socialization and care. As the world and its ways are changing, there is an urgent need for change in the dynamics of our schools. Many subjects are outdated and teach things that might not be of much value, whereas there are many other disciplines like the author mentioned, sociology and anthropology as such can help student to have a broader overview. Most of the changes undertaken in education system are superficial and will take a long time to come in practise. Small but steady changes are required in the grass rool level of education, like in small cities and villages where new subjects can bring out the best from the future generations.

What the author has mentioned is absolutely correct. Now considering the present situation, we lack proficient teachers to understand the psychological needs of the students though they might be over qualified in the subjects being dealt by them. In the private schools, the scenario in that respect, is not bad to that level. The reason for the same is obvious and this could be attributed to pressure of the management to improve the overall results of the classes where they are engaged. Though they might not be so competent in respect of their matching qualifications to teach the subjects confidently but the combined efforts of the management and their sustained efforts, they are the better guides in their subjects. It follows that there should be urge of the teachers to make their pupils comfortable with updating their techniques even though their qualifications are inferior than those of government schools.

Whenever the Govt tries to improve the new education system then the maximum resistance or hindrances come from the existing educational system. The reason is very obvious. Every state has their own ideas and agenda which they feel is better than others. There is no coherence and it is obvious that they will always find problems in adopting with the new system. Over and above that there are issues of qualified teachers and conducive environment for bringing in the changes. Policy making is one thing but implementation is required to be done at the grassroot level. So it is the responsibility of the local school administration to implement the new systems and give feedback to the central Govt. No system can work if there is no cooperation from the down the line. There could be political reasons and vested interests but when it comes to progress and development we have to think at the same frequency.

Knowledge is power.
