The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise. Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers. - (A.P.J Abdul Kalam)
Education is for life and not for living. But this exactly does not fit in today’s education system. We feel education is for living and not for life. We all know that how crucial role education play in shaping the lives of everyone. The present curriculum needs re-framing and overhauling. In the rat race we have forgotten that the end of education is to build a strong character to make a strong nation.We often see that a person holding degree of M.Sc. physics depends on an electrician to fix the fuse whereas an M.A. in English is unable to draft an application independently. Unfortunately we are still in the clutches of age old system of education that promotes clerical culture.Present day education system is not fulfilling its primary aim. It has just become a mean of passing information rather than transforming human beings. In other words, we can say that imparting education has turned artificial rather than heartifical. The time has come to re-design our pattern of education where we need not merely produce mechanical humans devoid of human values. Instead they should be taught about the uniqueness of Indian culture, value system, karma theory etc. from the very beginning stage of learning. Education must also focus on the basic values of living in unity in a society.In the present fast paced life, we fail to realize that today we are family but tomorrow when our children will have families, they will become society for their own children and ultimately we will be the first victim of the same. Let us teach our children the three very important values- Love for God, Fear of sin and Respect for the law of society. Now, we need to introspect, are we really teaching our children these core values? There is a dire need to teach our children about concern for nature-the ultimate creation of God.
