Examucation: The reality behind the “system”

Tweet

Editor’s note – The author begins by how meaningless “learning” can be in an examination-based system and then explicates its real purpose and why no matter how bad it may seem, these examinations will still persist for some very fundamental reasons.

Author’s note – Exams seem to be inevitable but why do so many people consider it so diabolical? And what is its real purpose? Are you ready to learn the truth?

Money: Sweeter than Honey?

Tweet

Editor’s note – This article is different from the rest of the ones that you have read on ‘SMU!’ because the author doesn’t talk about an issue that directly relates to the education system but about the root of all the problems of our nation – Greed.

Author’s note – Everyone knows that our education system is rotten, our country is corrupt and that it is a beggars' pot. Many have given their viewpoints regarding it; Many have come up with many solutions to these viruses, but what our society needs to do is to differentiate between success and excellence and get rid of the notion that Success means nothing but MONEY and strive for EXCELLENCE!

Editor’s note – The following is a short case study by a Mumbai-based youngster who, in this article, discusses some of the measures he took to implement better learning philosophies in Mumbai’s Municipal schools through the School Excellence Programme (SEP)

Author’s note – I work as a Gandhi Fellow in Kaivalya Education Foundation. Based in Brihanmumbai, and functioning as Headmaster Sahyogi (Coach) for School Excellence Programme (SEP) in Municipal Schools of the city. Here’s I’m sharing two of the experiments by me in Mumbai Municipal Schools. The output is very small but it is a step towards making sure that there is space for child to express himself freely and school especially public funded ones become learning communities-Larger goal of SEP.

Editor’s special note about the cartoon – It appears that our cartoonist who illustrated this article had a dark sense of humour of his own. No offense to the Headmistress.

User Rating: / 23

Tweet

Editor’s note – The author provides a subjective analysis based on objective observations from his personal experience as a student in Kota which very well exposes the reality in the coaching centers of India’s coaching hub – Kota.

Author’s note – Kota brings in thousands of the most intelligent brains in India promising them to show them the light towards a bright career, but instead, for their avarice, they lead these brains to the darkest canal of life.
