The HSC results are just out and news are already flashing the number of suicides committed due to pressure. It makes one wonder, whether these marks are truly a reflection of the students’ intellect, especially in a system like ours. Seriously, our education system needs a revamp. Can you imagine we are still learning in the same outdated fashion, the way our grandparents learnt?
These days internet has reduced the globe to the size of a tennis ball, yet the school kids can’t take an advantage of it and have to put up with the banal chalk and talk method. They are used to rote learning which stifles creativity and imagination. Instead it would be so much better if they could use educational games and quiz competitions and other innovative methods of learning.
The edutainment industry is slowly but definitely rising up to the challenge in

Pretty right.. Its high time for some serious rethinking by the schools and the education ministry..The current style of education is important, but one really feels that it lacks the basic requirement og generating interest in the subject :) I have heard about Axiom - a startup by IITians. Kudos to their thinking and initiative
true completely agree with the information given, i too personally feel that though the standard of education is increasing in our country but the method of delivering is still the same, there are students who fail to give their exams or get admission just because lack of information given to them by the education board and because of an unorganized organization.
