As we know education is very important for any nation. It is a life-long process. Its benefits cannot be counted. We learn about the things happening in our environment. The purpose of education is to improve human creativity and differentiate between good and evil . A person can make his skills brilliant by education. If we talk about today’s education, students get it for positions in the exams , not to learn something new. Students are in competition that who will come first. Being a student I want some changes in the educational system of Kashmir . It is because I have seen some loopholes in the system and hope to see the visible changes in it. The changes that I want to see are discussed in the coming lines. The first change is that people have to understand that getting education is not about marks but it is about learning something new . People have to change their thinking about education. In Kashmir people still discriminate it on the basis of gender that a girl shouldn’t go outside to get education because at last, she is going to marry one day and all the money will be wasted. The second change is that the JK BOSE must update the school syllabi . Our future demands the modern books on these books but we study old books then how will students get aware of the present world .like if we talk about the history in 8th class it ends on Kashmir and when we see the first chapter of 9th class we are lifted to another world . I mean to say our books should be in a manner that are understandable to students.
Today’s era is the era of competition but this competition shouldn’t be to make others lower. Rather it should be in a manner that a student can show his potential. So, at the end of the day, I want education to be a healthy exercise that can make our lives better. We need the type of education that broadens our mind. Let us hope for that type of education.
The third is that the teachers should teach the students in such a way that the students can write their answers in the examination. Teachers shouldn’t give them notes because the purpose of education is to make a child creative. They should not depend on rote learning. What is the purpose of the ready-made notes? I am unable to comprehend. The fourth is that the tradition of guide books books should be prohibited because when students learn creative things and understand the topics, the need for guide books is ended and students are able to make their own guide books. It will make the future bright in every way. The fifth is that we must do away with the concept of positions. We get education to make ourselves brilliant and to be creative. It is obvious that today’s era is the era of competition but this competition shouldn’t be to make others lower. Rather it should be in a manner that a student can show his potential. So, at the end of the day, I want education to be a healthy exercise that can make our lives better. We need the type of education that broadens our mind. Let us hope for that type of education.
