Importance of education

1) Removing Poverty
Education helps in removing poverty as if a person is
educated, he can get a good job and fulfill all the basic
needs & requirement of his family.

2)Safety and Security against Crime

If a person is well-educated, he will not be fooled by
anyone easily. An educated person is less prone to
involve in domestic violence & other social evils.
They enjoy healthy relationships in life. This means
people are less susceptible to being cheated or
becoming a victim of violence.

3)Women Empowerment
Education also helps in empowering women.
Certain old customs like Not Remarrying Widows,
Sati Pratha, Child Marriage, Dowry System etc. can
be demolished with the power of education.
Women, if educated, can raise voice against the
injustice done to her. This will bring a lot of
development in society as well as in the nation. In
short, Right to Freedom of speech & expression can
be used in the right way if all women will become
educated.

4) Upliftment of economically weaker sections of

society

Education is the most important ingredient to

change the world. Due to lack of education, many
illiterate people suffer the hardships of
discrimination, untouchability & injustices prevailing
in the society but with the advancement of a good
education. If all the people will be educated; this
ultimately leads to the upliftment of economically
weaker sections of society.
5) Communications
The relation between education & communication
is apparent. Good education helps to communicate
better with other people. It also improves our
communication skills such as speech, body language
etc. A person who is educated feels confident
within him to confront or give a speech in front of a
large public or can held a meeting or seminar.
Writing emails, letters, typing messages, reading
magazines & newspapers or even using a
Smartphone can never be possible without getting a
basic education.

Problems of Indian educational system

1)Rote learning
We have progressed with time; however, we still have not been able to move
away from rote learning. While we know that IB schools are changing the
education system at their level, but we also need to understand that the
population that goes to IB schools is very limited in nature.
The schools must be encouraged to introduce conceptual learning which
avoids students to mug up what they are being taught. While this will help
students to understand the concepts better, they will also be able to retain and
apply them better.

2) Evaluation system
Marks still continue to play the most important card in deciding the
future of children and this often comes down upon students as a
burdening factor. The pressure of marks often makes students
underperform.
Instead of focusing the evaluation on a three-hour exam, the focus of
evaluation should be classroom participation by a student, projects,
communication and leadership skills and extra-curricular activities.

3)Equal respect to all the subjects

We continue to survive in the education system where science
stream topples the stream hierarchy. Students are pushed to
become a machine which only goes for high-profile subjects and
subjects like languages, communications, arts are looked down
and are not considered high-profile.
Students should rather be pushed to pursue the subject that they
like instead of creating a differentiation between subjects.

4) Introduction of technology
We all know we have incepted in the era of the fourth
industrial revolution. We are living the renaissance of
technology and in such a state, technology and education
system cannot be kept apart.
Students must be taught about technology right from the
early years of their education so that it does not come like an
alien thing in their later times.
Indian schools must embrace technology and education with
an open heart and propagate the same to the students as it is
there, where their future lies.
