Indian education kills innovation and entrepreneurial skills. It creates only babus?

Answer 1

Well, rote memorization can be useful. I'm always amazed at how well people educated in India can remember what they've been taught. Still, I agree that this memorization should be balanced with teaching students how to find information and analyze it for themselves. Problem-solving skills are essential in this world!

Answer 2

I agree with you partially in that our educational institutions generate babus - "mostly" but not "only". The reason is that in our existing system of education, unlike the developed countries, the students are compelled to run to colleges and universities after finishing school since school level education is not vocation oriented. Since all the students graduating from schools may not be inclined or in a position to pursue higher studies because of various reasons, there are large number of drop-outs and failure cases who either qualify later on for General Degrees or simply back out. They form bulk of the college-going category but are not academic types, hence they start looking for some sort of employment in offices. Those students who can afford or manage to continue college/university education, either opt for professional Degrees ( Engineering / Medical / Law / Finance.. etc.) or go for General education to qualify later for Administrative, Management or Teaching jobs. This category of students performs well in their respective fields.

The best option to improve our educational system is to convert all the Senior Secondary Schools to Vocational Schools so that the required work-force for various industries, ancillary medical services and agriculture is readily available. This will reduce the crowd for higher education and professional Degrees, thereby improve the quality of students.

Answer 3

YES, I would like to say. To day's competitive world has made our parents expecting higher percentage of marks from their siblings and a job with high salary. This has made the life of the student a miserable one and he has no time to think. Only, he reads and reads in the hope of getting higher percentage of marks, without gaining in depth knowledge of the subject. (Every rule has an exception). This has resulted in the present day generation aspiring for software positions and IAS etc. No one is interested in research or in development of his skills, as the present day education system is producing only bookworms.
