what is good education

when we heard the word education, a picture series runs on our mind in which we see schools, teachers, students or if if we are already done with our schooling then we thought of our school days. These whole things which I have described was part of our education. Education in all sections of this world defines by all these parameters schools+ teachers+ students.

 Apart from these many other things may be there but these three things most important and must be their to get education. Some of you may think why I have described schools as essential part of education as to get education students means you and teachers means anyone who teaches you is sufficient. I have described schools as important part of proper education because we must have a class room so our infant from his/her very beginning in schools can learn how to interact with others means he learns how to be social in schools, but without schools knowledge he can gain but not education as being social is part of good education.

 So now you can imagine that a good education just not to get knowledge of particular subject but good education teaches us to be practical, be social, be friendly to everyone and so on. Only this good education can make you excel in your life, getting only knowledge is not sufficient to live in this world.

Its not the responsibility of only schools or government to make you infant social its parents who teaches him or her to be practical to be social to be gentle to everyone. If someone is good in his academics but not gentle not social he will find hard to live on this earth because we human beings are somehow social animals.

So when you think good education think other parameter also apart from knowledge is to make your child social, gentle and practical.

Reservation in Education

Reservation in our education system , is considered to be a backbone to certain communities. These communities are Schedule Casts, Schedule tribe and OBC ( creamy and Non creamy). So why government is given these communities such special reservation in education as compared to general person.

it all start with untouchablity, means in past schedule casts were treated to be untouchable. They didn't have rights in society same as upper caste peoples. They worked for upper caste people, in overall they were badly treated at that time. Due to which trend started that a person who is of lower caste can't eat, live or even get education with upper caste people. As time passed they lower caste people were so harreshed that they were mentally and socially get neglected.
After Independence, because we live in Democratic country where everyone has right to live equally, it was realized that these lower castes peoples whose percentage was very less in all sectors as compared to upper caste peoples should be increased, so only we can talk about equality. The overall thought according to me was right because as a human being if you think whatever lower caste people faced during post independence was inhuman act. In starting Parliament implemented this for 10 years but after every 10 years it was increased and even now we have reservation in education system.
according to my view what I observed regarding reservation is that at starting the reservation rule was absolutely right because at that time lower caste people percentage in all sectors were so less. Still lots of areas are such where untouchability exists for which I totally support reservation. But what I observed regarding reservation system is that a person who needs it more is not getting this. Let me give you an simple example, a person from lower caste who don't have anything in his childhood achieved great success in his life with getting reservation in every field. According to me it is right if he gets reservation. But now think that his son or daughter giving any exam getting reservation is right or wrong. It is wrong because his son or daughter have everything now just because they are from lower caste they are getting reservation is wrong. Now a days what I observed is that maximum number of peoples whom are getting reservation don't require it. But some of areas in India have peoples , must have reservation which I support.
one thing I want to add here is that now reservation should not be given in name of caste. Because according to me lots of people just to get reservation in India make their false certificates though they have enough money but getting all facilities just because they are lower caste in papers. This I observed in my college time.

Another thing which I want to add in not to give reservation in name of caste is that, think of a poor student. His father don't have enough money so he can get proper education. Just because he is from general category he can't get any such reservation. It seems totally wrong. Though the concept of reservation was right but now I think amendments should be done. Reservation earlier during just after independence can be understood based on caste, but now after 6 decades still giving reservation just in name of caste didn't seem proper, reservation I totally support but it should be given due to financial conditions of one. Poor must get reservation because poor is poor we can't decide him in terms of his caste as upper caste poor or lower caste poor or Hindu poor or Muslim poor.
give your views also.

Education system in India

India is a country of around 1.25 billion peoples of which 65% population is young, means india is young nation. To progress we must focus on youths because they will decide future of the nation. Education is primary and most important criterion for better india as if everyone in younger generation will get proper education than only India will prospected.

In this direction from very first election till now government of India has done some great work. Presently around 990 billion rupee budjet is alloted for this. HRD ministry is responsible for higher education system as of primary education state government along with center is responsible.
At present 75% ( round figure) of population in India is educated. Let us now analyze thing rather than going to facts. I will took point by point analysis  but all regarding Government schools and colleges.

1) the very first thing to boost primary education government of India has already started Mid Day Meal scheme, so our children will get better health also.

2) books, dresses etc are free up to 8th standard.

3) the fee in government schools are so less and we compare this with private schools it is about 1/50 or more also. So government is taking less but giving more.

4) still we people don't choose government schools for our child. We are ready to pay 50 times fee even teacher who is teaching in private schools not even qualified any of the exam whereas all government teachers are well qualified.

 5) even what I observed that a government teacher prefer private schools for his infant. It simply shows that they don't have believe in their own system.

6) in reality government schools have very less number of students present there in most of the places.

7) let us now think of higher education. For graduation many options are present in India like engineering, doctor, law, science etc.

8) but what I observed is that Indian education system works only for a good degree.

9) when I say that "works only for good degree" it means we do graduation to get only degree not some knowledge or for skill development in us.

10) for this government is not responsible because they already have provide us all facilities but it is us that we want degree only not proper knowledge.

 11) like for example South Korea and India started building their education system in same year. We focused on Degree based preparation and they focused on skill development. you can analyze where they have reached in technology.

 I am not criticizing totally the education pattern but somehow to become world power we can't work with such education system. We must change it. When I say we it means Government+ we people of this great country.

Effect of technology on education

In the words of "Nelson Mandela"- " education is the most powerful weapon which you can use

to change the world".

thinking of this deeply, when we thought changing the world by education, what does it mean?

Simply it means, education teach people to think critically, positively. So the world can change.

technology from some past decades is also changing; so is it right to say technology is changing

the world? Yes of course. Technology has changed the way we live, travel, and affect all of us

somehow. If this technology is changing the world and change in world can be done by

education we can think of that technology has changed the education.

 But as it said every coin has 2 sides, effect of technology on education also have 2 sides.

thinking of negative side, think of calculators. Though it makes calculation easy and fast, but

making our capability of thinking is decreasing. Games are also considered to be part of good

education, but when we say games it does it mean graphical games. No, it means physical

activities so we can be fit to be learn everything. Video games are attracting new generation

though they are colorful, interesting but they make us physically imperfect.

as it said noting has only bad in it. Technology has changed our education system a lot. Distance

learning, e- education, smart classes, computers are those examples where we see positive

impact of technology on education. And there is many more latest technologies in education

system now a days. Technology has made our education very fast and advanced, so thanks to

technology.
