I strongly feel that the education demands a change from the
existing system. Here I want to address the problem of data explosion. It has
been foolish to accommodate more and more knowledge in the curriculum.
Students should be driven by interest and passion, not by
competition or performance. Children should learn in their journey, what they are
interested to do in their lives. We should have a world that gives true
education. In today’s system we have many flaws. Like, we must have read about
a lot of things, but how much do we really retain and apply in our lives. For example,
I am a computer science and engineering student. I have taken many courses
since I was a kid. The fact is that I don’t remember most of what I studied.
We don’t want a large number of engineers or scientists for
making things better. We only need a persistent attitude on how we can make our
lives better. Days are passing by, but how many of us observe the changes we
are undergoing. How many of us understand where our strengths lie. I think we
should not be complaining on the state of the present world. Instead we can do
something qualitative to direct our energies and efforts towards triggering something
good.
I believe that life is all about experiencing change. It makes
us strong and also gives us the wisdom of what we are and what this journey
means to us. We are different from one another, but remember, we stand as ONE!!
