Where the world is turning virtual, virtual identity has developed a new phase in this century. Even our education system has adopted it happily, students are happily indulge in the online classes, whereas parents are happy that due to virtual classes the kids are engaged in the studies also many of the parents are happy because they are also learning different technologies that they were unaware of.
Education has be defined in different
aspects since ancient times till today, we know that without education we
cannot achieve certain goals in the life, as we say food , clothing &
shelter are important and basic needs of life , same way today education has
also become an basic and important aspect of life.
In ancient times education was given by
the gurus, there were no proper schools or school buildings, people use to sit
under the tree and t he teachers use to give “Vidhya “i.e. Education to the
kids, at that time getting mere a education till 5 or max to max till 10th
was a great deal, as that time the things and wish list of the people were
limited.
As the series of century was getting
upgrade, the education system also started growing. In olden times the
education was limited till the bookish knowledge, but later as the technology
got updated, education also started upgrading; kids during the school time get
the basic knowledge of computer sciences. In ancient times the education kids
use to get was just in one language i.e. Sanskrit, but weed the need of time
the education system upgraded the languages in English, Hindi & Marathi ,
later when the educational policies kept on changing the kids got to learn
foreign languages too.
Education system in India has provided
several chances where every kid had a right to education under Indian
Constitution. In India Education to kids is given in stages – Preschool,
Primary school, Secondary School, Higher Secondary School and Graduation. The
Pre School consisted of age group 3- 5 years, Primary school consisted of kids
from age 6-9 years, Secondary school consisted of STD 5-10, and higher
education consisted of 11th and 12th whereas graduation
was after 12th.
Indian Education system faced lot of
problems in growing years , the biggest problem was the poor grading system,
the system judges people/student basis on grades, whereas it was unfair for
kids those are well in overall performances, but not good in specific subjects.
Indian Education system focused more on
theoretical subjects that made them run behind bookish knowledge and not the
actual world due to lack of practical knowledge. These made kids run behind
getting good marks, but there was lack of attention on what is being taught, so
slowly the Indian education system adopted the technique of E- learning that
made learning more fun.
Recently the National Education Policy has
been adopted a few days ago by the schools, colleges and universities, the
policy focuses on all the subjects including life skills too. On July 29 2020
after gap of 34 years, the policy has been updated, it is a policy not a law
implementation of its proposal depends on further regulation of state and
central government.
The policy has changed the educational
structure as 5+3+3+4, the bringing children from age 3 to 5 years
will get formal education system for the very first time, vocational education
along with internships from STD 6th.
For higher education new umbrella has
been made with separate education and standards, it will include arts and science,
technical and teacher education into its fold.
Top foreign universities can open their
campuses in India as well. , this education system will transform a great
change till year 2040. The policy had indeed changed the old system of mugging
up the things from books; it had changed the factory production of doctors,
engineers and many more
The National Education System may have
some problems too, as the policy talks
about the easy exist , for children to
dropout and re enroll in new structure in form of the school , major reasons to dropout are expensive
education , migration push in child labor , marriage lack of interest
Around 5 million children indulge in
child labor , everyone around is in
question will this new policy promote the child labor as children at very small
age will be allowed to get internships???
Many of the people are opposing this as
this National Education Policy may make children careless towards the studies,
at time they need to understand every subject , choosing the subjects at very small age may make the kids confuse.
As at the small age of 10-12 years they are not that mature to choose their
career wisely, they may choose certain career and later they may feel it’s not
of their interest as they turn mature their choices may change as at the early
age the career choices change from time to time there is no consistency.
The National Education Policy is not
totally wrong, but it is taking away the
innocence of the kid at early age by promoting career opportunity ,whereas even
today the kids of teenage need career counseling so is it right on the basis of
the career development and subject choosing , learning in the regional language
is a very good point brought in front
through National Education Policy as wherever we see foreign language &
English language are given most emphasis , this policy will make the kids learn
and take interest in the regional language and mother tongue.
National Education Policy is bringing the best phase wherein the kid can be in own country and study through foreign universities , as the policy has given the permit to start the foreign university campus in India itself , so they can study and work for their own nation.
Hope this National Education Policy
brings the best for all including teachers, parents and the students as a
whole.
