Education is no longer restricted to bookish knowledge and four walls of schools,
colleges and universities. It is essential for all round development of a student that
he/she should participate in one or the other activity. There are many extracurricular
activities, some of them are debate, elocution, painting, dance, singing, poetical
recitation, etc. We should work on improving all the skills of a child.
The system of education in our country is defective. It is not keeping pace with the
passage of time. It follows the pattern which was valid five decades ago. The aim of
education is to prepare students for the tough battle of life. The basic needs of life are a
sound mind in a sound body, and skill to make a living. It widens the sphere of
knowledge and builds our character. In short, education should turn out a strong team
of responsible citizens. The entry to a good education should not depend upon wealth,
power, class and caste, residence and occupation, but on a child’s intelligence, abilities,
talents, achievements and overall merit. Education has to be related to life and also the
needs of the nation.
Policy-makers set up schools and colleges only to turn out an army of graduates who are
good for nothing. As a nation, we need men with brains, we need good scientists and
technicians, we need tough soldiers for the army.
“Education for all” sounds sweet. But mere slogans and schemes on paper won’t take us
far. Also, these schemes fail many times. Therefore, the government should work to
improve the quality of education.
