Present education system:
It is the season of admissions to schools and colleges. At
this time, all the parents are in the dilemma of how to choose the best school
for their children. Whichever platform or forum you look at, the same topic is
being discussed and the same conflict is being discussed.
On the one hand, there is the cry of ignorance of the
rising, exorbitant fees of private schools and the Cambridge and International
education system, on the other hand, there is the suspicion of the declining
quality of education at both the public and private levels. In such a
situation, it is very difficult for parents to decide which school and college
will be right for their children.
In exams, parents say that private schools seem to suffer
from a closed-minded approach to education. The only goal in the life of the
students of these schools is to achieve success and high grades. This is what
deprives the children studying in these schools of valuable life experiences
and their lives are simply devoted to school, tuition, class work, What is most
affected by this behavior is the lifestyle of children, youth and families in
general. Just imagine that the price of good grades is that the children
neither get enough sleep, nor play regularly, nor live life to the fullest,Enjoy
and exam preparation.
Deprived of the luxuries of life, these children are also
suffering from various psychological and physical diseases. Their only aim in
life is first to get high results in exams and then to get the desired job. .
However, in today's fast-paced world where professional requirements and the
economy are changing rapidly, the mere traditional curriculum of school and
college is no guarantee of success in the race of professional competition.
There is a need to ignite individual and creative abilities and emotionally and
psychologically to prepare such strong and active people who can play their
full role in the society.
Today's era requires people who are brave, strong-willed,
talented and responsible.
Regarding this, Salman Asif Siddiqui, director of Resource
Development Center, said that in the present era, we have replaced academic and
family attachment with grade and exam attachment. The result is that today's
child and youth seem to be in a constant rush. These builders of time and life
goals of the future, self-imposed isolation, anxiety and deprivation, often of
the country Looks disappointed.
In the race for grades and marks all day long, these
competitive children and their parents devote a significant portion of their
energies, capital and time to tutoring centers and schools and colleges. The
aim of which is to achieve better results, but instead they completely ignore
balanced thoughts, healthy hobbies, recreation and sports. Away from nature's
blessings and human relationships, they would have failed to ignite his
bequeathed talents.
Now the question arises that what is the solution to this
problem?
In today's digital age where for almost every subject, be it
science, arts or commerce, all kinds of content, questions, videos and online
classes are easily available on countless websites like YouTube and Khan
Academy and so on and on top of the world. Universities have started offering
hundreds of online courses for free or for a nominal fee, so what else is
foolishness to be a slave to the traditional style of education in schools,
colleges and tuition centers?
This is the reason why a large number of parents nowadays
are turning to home schooling and independent education. Many parents and
students have created their own WhatsApp groups and online platforms in this
regard. Although their scope is still limited in Pakistan, it can be called the
beginning of a positive change. They support free, customized education system,
organic food, natural environment and natural lifestyle. There is no better school than home. Instead of traditional classrooms, the
future lies in project-based experiential learning (experimental learning)
instead of natural environments and exams.
In fact, such education is nothing but a burden, but even
knowing everything, we are afraid, yes, we are afraid of the new alternative
style of education that considers the role of parents, community and home as
key in the education and training of children and failure. To learn
Values betting and losing more than winning. The purpose
of education is to impart self-realization and not merely to obtain a job and a
degree. Under the influence of this fear, we are clinging to private schools,
Cambridge boards and tuition centers and will continue to cling until we get
our way and direction right.
