EDUCATION
EDUCATION,
Drowning in Examinations!
Where is the Education,
we have lost in Examination?
Where is the examination,
we have lost in entrance tests?
The heavy backpacks of school education cease to experience the joy of myriad of subjects that paints the Universe! The creativity of children gets dissolved in “conformity” of a class, to have the convenience of uniformity spread among all.
Every young mind is tuned into “examinations” and the “judgment- day” of results , from day one of their Schooling (from LKG). We are evolving ourselves into a society of dominant “examination system” that eclipses primary purpose of curiosity and joy of Education.
Make Education enjoyable, within the incessant examinations!
This is the challenge for good teachers and caring parents!
“Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”
-T. S. Eliot (1922)
