I am a student of the messed up Indian education system. As children we were forced to study something that we never liked. As an engineering student I can assure you things are still the same.  In school we are taught about algebra and geometry but the problem is still some students don't know basic mathematics. Students are never taught how to file taxes but as adults they are expected to do that. The history which we are taught is not sufficient . Students know big chemical reactions but lack basic manners. As an education system we need to add mannerism in the syllabus. There are so many loop holes which have to be filled. We don't get any practical knowledge . We are forced to by heart things which is wrong. Rote learning is something that has always been there in the system which is saddening. When students enter college they come with big dreams . They think that now they will learn new things but they are disappointed when they see the system in the colleges. Extracurricular activities are not given importance at all. Personality development is something that students are never taught. Finland has one of the best education system in the world. Young children are taken in gardens . They are asked to bring various plants and catch insects. Teacher tells them about each plant and insect in this way they interact with nature. They get practical knowledge from a very young age which is something we need to learn. In the west babies are taken to such placed where they can explore this interests. The areas include place where doctor kit is kept, kitchen set is kept or there are paints. If a child goes in the area where kitchen set is placed there then it shows that the child has interest in cooking. In the western nations parents take into consideration about in the interest of the childI am a student of the messed up Indian education system.

In the western nations parents take into consideration about in the interest of the child . Indian parents force children to take science and be engineer or doctor. Students here face alot of pressure from society and system. Marks is something that is very important in our education system. A child is judged from the marks that he scores . This policy is totally wrong and we need to change it . There are many students who score well but don't do well in life. We also see many cases where average students start there own companies. We need to appreciate talent instead of marks. My college is one example where internships are taken very seriously. They make sure that students get good education and also know how to work in industries as well. Which is very important in today's era. We know that students get degree without developing any actual skill. So it's essential that we have both actual world and knowledge from the books.  .
