Out-dated Traditional Learning
Why is that we always stereotype,
traditional to be out-dated and obsolete part of our lives, this is quite a
thought provoking question, because what we think today, is transferred to our
preceding generations. Traditional ways of learning have still not lost its
charm, even after technology taking over everything in the world, there are
children who love the smell of new hardbound text books, they still love to
cover their books with brown paper and feel very happy in class to read up a
lesson in the text book in class.
Textbook give the feel of learning
something to every child, the process of learning is somewhat incomplete
without referring to the school text books. Maths is subject, where old tricks
of calculation makes the work easier, one may have been equipped with the
latest digital calculator, but in the end when the calculator repeats the error
command for a calculation, even the most technology savvy person has no option
but to perform the entire calculation manually on paper to cross check his or
her error.
India is the country, where great and
learned men came up with several educational theories and formulas and that
also without the help of technology. I’m not against the use of technology, but
I want to point out the fact that if the simplest things could be done in the simplest
ways then why is it that we wish to complicate it further by using gadgets that
don’t need the required attention for that work.
For instance, according to the recent
researches conducted, Indian students
are known to perform brilliantly compared to students abroad. It is not because
they are using the most latest technologies, or they are using the latest
Ipad’s or IPhone’s, it is simply because they are using their brains. Even
after being the most powerful country and nuclear equipped in the world, why
are most of the Indians getting job offers from companies in America and why
are American kids not faring well enough grades in their schools.
India may have once been the land of
snake charmers and elephant riders, but India was never the land of fools, we
may use the most traditional forms of teaching and learning in schools but we
are proud that are students are the one’s placed in the top most institutions
around the world and they are looked forward to as an example of perfect
students by other teachers, parents and even the President of America.

World Leaders of Education
The way to civic life and greater
knowledge comes from receiving adequate education. Education in India is becoming costlier
day by day, but parents in India consider it there lifelong duty to pay for
their child’s education and other study related expenses. And we the students
hold it as our privilege to receive lifelong funding from our parents in terms
of education.
The
education sector in India has innumerable courses and subjects to offer
that no student would feel insignificant compared to any other student.
However, compared to other countries in the world, the education sector might
have several flaws swept under the carpet, but in reality the students in India
fair an IQ which is quite superior to kids in other countries.
We follow a very traditional way of
learning and studying, which was passed on to us when the British’s came and
invaded India and decided to educate the natives. India might be a traditional
and backward country in terms of its infrastructure and other facilities but it
has grown and has been nurtured into a unique being that it exists today.
There are so many schools, colleges and
universities that are both nationally and internationally recognized all around
the world. Every single day this sector is growing and taking a whole new
dimension to it its existence. Millions and millions of students are passing
out of the institutions and taking up diverse fields of employments careers
every single day. India is a country with a growing and thriving world economy;
every other country is surprised to believe that a country so immensely
Populated as this one, with a democratic background and a semi-permeable
economy, is showing signs of constant growth and development.
It is also a matter of great surprise to
other economies how India as a country hasn’t fallen apart so far and still
exists to work and develop at very progressive rates. It is possible because of
the empowering educational system that is present in the country. Every person
contributes to the making of a nation; similarly, India owes its existence to
the many engineers, entrepreneurs, industrialists, politicians, labourers,
lawyers and several other professions whose combining efforts have resulted in
the country that we live in today.
Therefore, we should continue to strive
to excel and gain lots of accomplishments for the honour and glory of our
country, because their visions for strengthening the country has definitely
borne fruits in our lives through the accomplishments we hold today.
