Indian Education System:
Where students learn how NOT to be prepared for the real world.
Where teachers are taught the new Cs by their students: Carelessness, Cheating, and Corruption.
Where technology is used to instil rote learning and innovation involves invoking old systems.
Where students and teachers collude to pretend learning occurs even as they collide with the real world.
Where people carp about crap.
Where Modern Indian History still stops with Gandhi's death and the succeeding 60+ years never occurred.
Where Science still follows the Chatur pattern and the Ranchos have to set up alternative schools that may never be formally recognised.
[00:37, 31/05/2015] Anusha Ramanathan: Indian Education System:
The new money making machine.
The wake we should be having, but do not perceive.
Donations are used to buy seats.
Caste to reserve these.
Influence to intimidate
But we do not ruminate.
The ruin of education,
Pointless aspiration,
No sight of resolution,
But all hail Indian education.
[00:48, 31/05/2015] Anusha Ramanathan: Indian Labour System -
In India an average worker is expected to put in 40 hours of work a week.
A child in the Indian Education system typically spends about 35 hours in school per week. Then has tuitions amounting to an equivalent number of hours. Then has to do some extra curricular activities and maybe train for those too. And complete the Homework assigned by each teacher of the above regimes (school, tuitions, extra curricular classes).
The counting is left to you. But I think the ILO should be looking into this exploitation, don't you?
[00:57, 31/05/2015] Anusha Ramanathan: India's Population Control Programme:
We have one of the highest, if not the highest, suicide rate in the world for suicides in the 15-19 age group.
Common cause family problems. Dig deeper. Cause performance pressure. Dig even deeper and find a poor education system that ill-equips students with either skill or strategy or strength to cope with life.
Well, anyway we have too many people on this piece of land anyway!
