Why does everyone in India complain of this?
If people are so intelligent, have got ideas to make the education system "holistic" they might as well become part of the govt(administrative side that is) and perhaps change the 'system'? Why, just send in your recommendations, write letters to the government suggesting on some changes. Afterall, the govt. also strives to give it's people the best.
I personally, have got nothing to complain. I enjoyed every bit of it. There was a thrill in studying for exams, although it was sometimes painful...but I consider that also a result of my laziness or carelessness. The system is fine the way it is. (considering the complexity of the status of educational institutions in a largely hetergenous, diverse, divisive country like India, which everyone must understand) .
Maybe it depends on what syllabus you took, I took ICSE, and I still find that what I had studied is helping me now...somehow, somewhere. (atleast while reading other stuff) Personally, I am of the conviction that whatever one reads, whatever nonsense one reads...whether by mug up or by-heart or etc, it'll be of some use. Nothing you read ever goes waste. It depends on what value you attach to the knowledge you acquire. It depends on how you should like to put to use what you've read... I dont understand the ineffectual remonstrance. So strange.
