Indian Educationist

Lots have been written about the teaching system in India and much have been to that of the western countries. Its a know fact that our college curriculum have to the level of that US or European countries what we lag is how our teachers have been equibed with knowledge and experience. Is it that lack of funds that makes our professors in ill equibed with updated syllabus and negligence that they are showing to this most important field if Indians were to compete with rest of the world. There are some points that comes to my mind to enhance our education n educationists:

1) Enough should be funded to Schools and colleges and make sure its spent on the priority basis

2) Strict evaluation should be made in granting permission to open schools and Universities

3) Our School teachers and College professors should be the people who should be given good salary, to make the profession good

4) It bcoz IT companies came to give ppl good salaries, if we need good teachers in that field to teach students we need to pay them good

5) There should be very good training provided to them on a period basis

Coming to our govt colleges which even now have a good reputation, but the quality of teaching is degrading day by day. Its bcoz its loosing its good professors and the ppl who join are inexperienced and have not been given adequate salary and training. Also one of worst decisions made in recent times in Tamilnadu education system is scrapping the Professional course entrance exams, saying that students in villages can't get enough coaching as that of students in cities. Its a disaster to scrap a system that doing well and a transparent single window system. We should look only at positive ways to improve the education and not at removing a system that is so good and transparent.

In one of the recent survey points that when students of various countries were tested on their syllabus with questions that were indirect which requires som analysis, Indian students fared very poorly compared to others. Its bcoz our teaching stresses very less on the analysis aspect but its more prioritised on the exam point and memorizing things. Also to comptete and equibe ourselves for challenges of the world class industry and business, students should not only be master of the syllabus and have good marks but also have exposure to sports and stage presence and they should know the soft skill that were very important nowadays.

Is Bangalore getting spoiled bcoz of IT ??

Today I came across an article in Outlook that Bangalore is getting spoiled coz of IT, various reasons were told such as raise of food cost, transport, western culture - young ppl in bars..even gals often visiting in pubs! etc. It also came with a report from native bangaloreans that b'lore which was once known for its pensioners paradise now turning into a old ppl's hell. Is b'lore only fit for young ppl?? The worst traffic that the city is facing now.

Nevertheless views of IT ppl and of well know ppl of IT tycoons Sudha Narayamurthy - wife of Infy narayanamurthy, Subratho Bakchi - founder of Mindtree consulting wer quoted saying IT ppl wer cornered in the city, and wer riped by police and charged twice, thrice amount for fine, once if there wer know to be sw ppl, and in markets if ppl wer found to working in IT company wer charged high.

The hype that blore is complately occupied by IT ppl(which is said abt 60%) is complately untrue, statistics tell us that only 12-15% of workforce in b'lore are in IT and ITES. But it true that changes happened in the last 10 yrs more rapidly, but it also to be remembered that bcoz of those called IT ppl only even vendors are gaining money, police are gaining money, government is gaining a hugh amount of money and the infrastructure has been improved. Money gained by the ppl is the money spend by the ppl, a spending economy is a growing ecenomy, asian countries have been a saving economy that y the growth rate is less, obviously there are much more factores that contributes to the growth rates anyhow our country needs many more towns and cites to develope, to have gud infrastructure, hav big companies to provide gud employement, bcoz its to be remenbered if IT hasnt been here, most of the youth's would have turned robbers..!

India is changing, Bangalore is even more changing and will change even more in the coming decade. It's also necessary to at this juncture, that we also need to learn a lot from western countries such as their puncutality, winning attitude, its not only that they keep their surroundings clean but also they are lively in many ways..wat ever they do they give their best effort, which we should not fail to acquire if we hope to live in a better tomorrow.
