Educational Dogmatism

Education is something that aims to deal with originating best creativity germs in an individual by constant awakening and working on individual potential through guidance and work on their interest level, i.e. skill brightening and most important increasing their effectiveness with help to raise their creativity.

Unluckily, we are normally deprived of the natural phenomena of educational effectiveness.  The reason for this destitute is due to the unwanted segmentation in our education system. In our system, unwontedly we see our education to be split in three major lines.

      i.        Madressa System

     ii.        Government institutions

    iii.        Private institutions

Now we look up at each of the segment in detail …

The Madressa institutions have created a significant conflict and frustration among the basic educational source. They have started their own way which results to dishearten the students with the law of natural society around them. They play to discourage and limit their creativity by simply declaring the whole world as wrong and only them as at right. They have acted to raise hatred among people and natural human on the grounds of sectarian illness. The sectarian approach has limited their social growth and the learning that could be made in broad social gathering where the discussions n understanding forms a part. Restricting their minds in this way, have made them problematic and chaos making instead of them to contribute in well groomed and creative participants of our Country.

Continuing to second, the government institutions have their own shortages.  The campaigns made under Govt schemes are taken for granted because of lack of concern and close supervision. Schemes are made but there are no checks on reviews made to the effectiveness of schemes and their consistency in work.  In addition the schemes are only working as at fake principles, they do not personally involve to raise creativity and emotional learning mannerism among the precious young assets… they just fulfill the basic need by the forcement of typical learning, which they name as ”Education”. Education is not what they provide,” the real Education is about the combination of physical, emotional & mental learning by the persistent efforts of teachers by encouraging them for logical and conceptual awareness along with a view of practical application..”

At third we have our private institutions forming part of educational division. Private educational institutions are run by private owners by registering to the specific boards. In private institutions things are comparatively better, but still much missing which can made the outcome of education at mark. The creative element and limitless efforts for the combination of sound education, i.e. physical, mental as well as emotional learning pattern are still missing. Students are preferred for rot learning as this works best for them in examination of typical answering questions.  The rot learning helps them to score so high and ultimately promoting the name of their institution in market, hence catching more students. The pattern of our Educational system is unlikely not revised with regards to increasing advancement, which have kept the students dull and far in minds.

There is a need to heartedly push up the standards and quality of our basic educational approach. The theme of right answer to question must rather be replaced by logical answering with the help of examples and scenario. Instead of typical answering there is a need to introduce case study formats for routine class work studies and preparations for exams too. This will help the students to use the capacity of their minds and look up for logical and situational reasons rather than ready-prepared answers. This may also influence teachers to persuade students to participate in conceptual & emotional learning along with the physical mental warm up.
