Namaste
What is the purpose of education?
Is it just to earn a living ... or is it for some
deeper purpose?
What do you think should be added to the present schooling to improve the lives of the children ... and therefore India?
Thank you
Peace & Love

To gain knowledge.
To earn living.
The education must stimulate thinking.But the present system encourages memorising.
The same questions should not be repeated year after year.The number of questions may be reduced to allow him to think and answer after sixth Std.Memory power may be tested by oral questions

The purpose of education is to make one a complete human being.One can earn even without education but the values,cultures and the over all exposure education gives is phenomenol.In the present education system, we need to integrate academic performance with moral and ethical values.

Definately its a very good question, we need to be focused and have to know the purpose of education. In my views education is essential for the improvements of the society. Definately I wont deny that major purpose of education is to have a good job, thick salary, live good. But this is not the ultimate gola in life. I feel some amount of spiritual education is also a must, may be you belong to any religion.

Education is not for earning our lively hood. The profession we we undertake is to earn livelihood. Even the uneducated earn their lively hood.
Another thing education does not mean knowing to read and write and get few qualifications.
Education is not the appropriate word or translation of VIDYA or JNANA.. To know what is real and permanent in the universe was treated as Vidya or Jnana. All others were called Avidya or Ajnana.
In schools we have to teach right principles and practises.

Education is to learn how to live, and earning is to survive.
To improve school education in India.. the teachers should be educated how to behave with children, and what kind of language to be used with them..make the students love what they learn, dont bully them to learn.

Education plays a role in the overall development of a human being, personality, attitude, disclipe etc. Its has its own role in the career deveolpment which means to earn ur living in the future.
Education and sports and extra curricular activities must go hand in hand in present schooling.

Yes surely, each and every human life in India, should be educated in either way to have their own life much better than present.
The present education system to be improved drastically to meet with international market, and we should compel to learn English and not to compel to study native laungage, (native language require only for writing and spreaking in India)

Education is not only to make ur daily bread but also to gain knowledge.Meditation shud be added in our schools to improve the lives of the children but not relating it to any religion.
