Education reforms I like to see happen in India:
I thought about how certain changes in our education system can change our country future in a big way. Current education system does not use the technologies out there in this 21st century.
I want every teacher in our country to do something similar to my view which will impact our future. The following 4 ideas will have great impact in every kid’s personality. This might one day allow us to have a lots of true politicians, lawyers, doctors, engineers and others.
1) Promote reading books, news paper and journals which have less impact on there final grade. Our education system revolves too much around scoring good marks and less about dealing with real life situations. We want the students to understand and think about solving problems. Think about it if we ask students to understand global warming issue. I guarantee they will come up with innovative plans.
2) Teach them to do social service. For instance ask the college student to go to his school to educate the students about various career choices available. Ask a 10th standard student to go to nearest post office with a board saying “Free help to read, write letters”. We want the kids to enjoy the pleasure and happiness of GIVING.
3) Promote kids thinking and create a forum to hear there thoughts. Encourage kids to write there thoughts.
4) Let us not scare the kids to study by making them think about material things rather let’s teach them the importance of it. For example tell them how learning math would help to solve traffic congestion. Tell them how understanding science would help them to solve poverty.
All these ideas can be implemented by the parents as well. I want every parent who reads this to think about these ideas and speak to there kids schools to make a change for a brighter future. If kids understand the impact they can provide to this planet who can stop them....
If you agree or disagree with me but don’t hesitate to speak what’s on your mind.

Dear Selvam,
Well said. I whole heartedly agree and I am implementing what you said in my life. I see it the same way.
I teach Tamil & the way I teach is giving real life examples. Their projects are not reading tamil books but they have provide feedback why they are learning Tamil. We enact dramas on a US kid in railway station in India or Airport or a Fair. We make them involve in social service.
Your vision to implement it in India is bigger broader. My best wishes.

Potential to be a visionary. Good thinking. Keep in going.
Along with all your good points, India will be much better place, if we inculcate good ethics into every child. Ethics is fast becoming extinct in India.
Cheers !

Excellent points. Would love to pass it on and bring awareness.
Dear Selvam,
Very well written and a good topic for discussion as well since the children represent our future.
I agree with William's idea and would like to expand on it as follows:
Make Moral Science a compulsory subject
Introduce a new subject on Environmental Science to make the kids aware of what is happening to our planet due to global warming
Thanks
