John Dewey rightly said, “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” There have been many reforms in our education system, but the arduous journey of giving the best is yet to be re- alized. It is no secret that we need to improve the Indian edu- cation system, and for that, together we all must focus on sev- eral aspects for the holistic development of the custodians of our future. I firmly believe that children must be taught how to think, not what to think.
When we improve our education and continue to learn and grow, we stimulate new connections, enhance our skills and understand people along with their needs in an effective way.
Firstly, experiential learning should be integrated into the cur- riculum. Instead of relying solely on Rote Learning, students should be encouraged to learn through practical experiences. This approach would not only help in improving the quality of education but also make learning more engaging and interest- ing for students. Real education is what can be practically used in daily life and not just learnt in classrooms.
Secondly, community involvement should be emphasized. Schools should be encouraged to involve parents and local community members in the education process. This would help create a sense of ownership and responsibility among as- sociates, leading to better learning outcomes for students.
For Teachers, learning never ends. They should be provided with regular training sessions to enhance their teaching-learn- ing skills and keep themselves abreast with the latest pedagog- ical techniques. This would also help in retaining good teachers and attracting new talent to the profession.
In today’s digital age, ICT skills should be incorporated into the curriculum. By incorporating these skills into the curriculum, students would be better equipped to face the challenges of the modern world. Technology in the hands of students and teachers can bring in gigantic transformation.
Well, infrastructure is also a significant concern in the Indian education system. Many schools lack basic facilities such as proper sanitation facilities and adequate classrooms. Improving infrastructure, especially in tier 3 cities, towns along with hinterlands is crucial in ensuring that students have a con- ducive learning environment.
Schooling does not assure employment, but skill does. There- fore, skill-based training should be provided to students. The current education system is heavily focused on academic per- formance and neglects vocational skills. Providing skill-based training would equip students with the necessary skills to enter the workforce and contribute to the economy.
Lastly, rural and urban cohesiveness of schools should be en- couraged. Rural schools should be provided with the same basic facilities and opportunities as urban schools. To bridge the gap between rural and urban schools, the teaching staffs of schools from the mega- cities those have an infrastructure that is a cut above the rest, can be the resource persons for teach- ers from rural areas. The trained and expert faculties of these state-of-the-art schools could join hands to uplift the schools in rural vicinities.
In conclusion, improving the Indian education system requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders. By focusing on all these aspects, we can create a more equitable and effective education system. The road ahead may be challenging, but it is essential to invest in education if we are to build a better future for our country.
