Rubbish Education

Our education is just certificate oriented.


Our Indian education is impractical and depressing.
To get any job the basic educational qualification required is graduation.And to become a graduate one needs to study for 15 long years at least,the most productive and formative years of one`s life.

It`s not easy for an average parents to educate their offsprings.The difficulty starts the day parents decide to put their child into school.Getting admission into a so called good school, requires if not anything else than lots of money.

After that starts recurring expenditures in the name of school fees{term fees}uniforms,books,tuition fees.And a tiring and often boring journey of education for the child.He has to forego his childhood pleasure of playing with peers and pals in natural surrounding.
His schedule is tighter than a normal businessman.He doesn`t get enough time to think on his own.He has to follow the schedules.The schedule that will make him an ordinary man.What our education sytem does to us?????Make us a mediocre,a routine man and not a thinker,a scientist or an inventor.

Our system of education and system of our society doesn`t allow him the freedom to think differently.And if you can`t think differently you can`t be a different.

Let the child be free,the leisure hours spent in pondering will bring out his uniqueness.But we don`t allow that to happen.We often chide our children,with the famous proverb “an empty mind is devil`s workshop.

After finishing the school,the parents has to put him in some good college and again the search starts and with this expenditures too.
When the student walks out of his college with graduation degree, he has high hopes.But the high hopes soon dies down when he tries to get his first job.

He may be offered a couple of thousands rupees a month if he is lucky enough.After 15 long years learning,just a couple of thousands only.It`s a shame.Our education system is insulting and mocking.

An ordinary skilled labourer earns Rs200/ per day on average.Means Rs6000/per month whereas a graduate earns Rs2000/per month.My maid servant{an illiterate one} earns Rs2000/per months +lots of good quality foods for her whole family.{by working in 4 different homes at Rs500/ per home.With 2 french leaves.
A smart looking graduate lady works for Rs2000/ per month.Now see who is better.What`s the use of spending 15 long years in the name of education??

By observation I have found that most of big businessmen and rich people are ssc.pass or even less.It means that our education system is a complete failure.We ought to consider about it seriously.
