Why education strategies need to be revised?

The contemporary education system is going into oblivion. The conventional methodologies are not proving to be successful and are rather outdated in contrast to the intensive technological modernization.

When we already have a plethora of our own hassles, then why do we mull over this issue? It’s because this would affect us and our progeny in ways which we may tend to overlook. Don’t you think the ineffective teaching methods will have adverse effects on students? Of course, it would and is already impacting students. As a student, I can tell better.

I say so because nowadays, the motive of the schooling system has diverted from educating children to inculcating a skill of rote learning in them so that they pass with flying colors, graduate, fetch a job and make money which, in the dictionary of the society, is defined as being successful. However, such procedure hampers the students’ development in many ways. They tend to focus more on their GPAs than the extent of knowledge they should attain. Their critical thinking is impeded because usually the educational institutions make all the study resources available to them as a result of which they don’t find the need to think and later find it difficult in case a HOTS question comes up. Also, students’ mental growth is hindered and they are unable to broaden their horizons and think out of the box.

Adding to this, educational institutions organize very hectic schedules for the students. Even though there are co scholastic periods included in between but still they are not sufficient enough and the students are bombarded with a lot of information in quite a short span of time. It doesn’t leave their brains adequate time to process all the new terms. It also makes the sessions very tedious, monotonous and even mentally draining.

Another notable fact is that schools flood students with piles of assignments and homework. Students, in turn copy from the Internet and indulge in plagiarism just for the sake of getting rid of the cumbersome load as soon as possible. While in this process, they don’t realize the essence of the assignments and projects.

Henceforth, the need arises for schooling techniques to be modified for the betterment of students. Instead of putting pressure on them by ways of assigning them homework and projects, educational institutes should devise novel ways to make learning intriguing and interactive. They may introduce visual presentations so that with the faculty of multiple senses, the information gets embedded in the brains of the pupils. Knowledge should be made to gain from practical experiences rather than explaining only through a text book.

This is my perception about the current education system. What do you think?
