Phani Kumar thanks for coming with good post and my complemenets for that to you.
From next year the Union govt is implementing one syllabus theory to all the schools across the country. The portion will be taught and students have to answer in OMR sheets only. No books and no home works too. Students need not take lots of books to the school.
Lets unitedly work for the progress of this site...

We all know very well the importance of education.
What is education? is it academics only? No, definitely not. Education is the overall development of skills, knowledge and talent. It means to identify his/her hidden talents and upbring them.
In India unfortunately education is weighed upon the basis of marks, the more corporate culture being incorporated, and ranks.
No one wants jobs other than a white collar job. This is the reason for heavy competition in areas like engineering, medicine, law etc.
Just imagine if all become just engineers and doctors only, then what about other jobs??
Since childhood children are forced to study instead of encouraging. Most parents do not bother even to know what is the actual talent of their child.
The drastic thing is that we value our academics more than our actual skills. This is the reason we are losing untapped talent.
Also the other thing is that it takes lot of finance to put a kid to other extra activities (except if the child is lucky enough to have these at school)
Now coming to our way of education system, I believe that it needs a lot of change.
By merely reducing the burden of syllabus or books will not help it. Instead if we make students feel interesting about the subject, it will help lot more such as more laboratory interactions, videos and discussions among class.
Competition must be always there but the extent must be limited that is it must make a student feel motivated instead of depression.
I feel teachers play the major role in education system, so teachers should be more interactive and make the atmosphere more pleasant instead of making students look into their watches to know when that particular period will be over.
The most important thing to consider is the number of exams. By the time a topic is covered, the next day you have exam.
No time is given for the students to study themselves that is why forced to mug up the subjects which is of no use.
Mugging and plagiarism must be minimized in our education system.
There should be more freedom given to the students to explore, motivate and identify what they really want to achieve in life.
Education in my view should not be limited to just mark sheets but how we must survive in a society, how to use the knowledge in our life.
It should provide the capacity to live independently and stand upon our feet.

Its not the syllabus which i am talking about, its about system.
As a human we have a society to live. This society consists of three category to which people get into.
1. Education
2. Work
3. Business
Every child who is born reaches to one of this category.
Work is for a family, business is for a group of families, but education is for an individual. people who are seeking education faces problem thinks it as his own destination. if one fails he thinks he is a failure, if one tops he thinks he is a champion and others are idiots.
we need to check one thing. what are we educated for?
Harika raised a good point Job, but education's main purpose is not job. we can use education for job.
we need to find out, In which areas are we getting education. is that useful.
Please keep posting as i have some ideas, i need to clarify them and get some more options. If we educated doesn't make things right just think about our society which will be filled with fools in next generation. we need to spread things out.

I just want to give one good example may be a month or two ago, in andhravani I have seen a debate with our education minister, he was speaking about no improvements other than bringing funds from central and adding more count in colleges and schools. But i have observed there is no improvement in education recieved. only few colleges are providing proper education and when it comes to school just ask yourself how much you are using that education in your life.

Hei phani I think you must be more clear with your question.
I did not emphasize job in my post, i stressed more on knowing our own skills and abilities that is what is the basic foundation for an individual go ahead.
Coming to your question in the last post, you asked how much you are using education in your life. If we were not educated then do you think we were able to read, write and understand things like we do now and also to be on par with the latest technologies, gadgets etc. It is all possible because we had learned about these. So please don't say that education is not applicable to daily life.
The main recommendations that our system needs is to lessen the burden of students on the basis of syllabus,marks, ranks etc so that they have a chance to explore other areas also.
The next is to change the way of teaching and examination system it must be more practical and updated on par with latest trends in the society.
Education is not only the responsibility of the school or college, it depends upon the individual how we take that and apply in our lives so we ourselves need to answer the question how hard we have worked to learn more because it is not possible for any institution to impart all the skills and knowledge required.
Remember education is not restricted to school or college life. Society is the biggest teacher in our life.
Now once you know your skills and talent then looking for a job or business is not so difficult. We must be flexible and adaptable to learn any new updates or latest emerging technologies etc

Exactly Harika that's a good post. Well i didn't say you have emphasized on jobs.i just said you have mentioned one reason for education. I have traveled from dilsukhnagar to mehdipatnam in morning starting around 7. From that time onwards i have heard observed only abusive words from every mouth. In 1 1/2 hr I have observed more than 10 street fights, beat ups of kids. A lecturer who has to teach and add some sense about life to his students speaks absurd about some female students with the male students, drinks alchohol with his students. the above mentioned are all well educated people. where exactly are we lagging. An M.L.A who never uses good words neither in assembly nor in public nor to his co or opposition M.L.A's was offered ministry of technical education.
I am not pointing on person or any govt act. I am just thinking of saving our education values and morality. every person should feel proud of being human and more on his humanity.
How many different streams of knowledge are present?
How well we knew about them?
How well younger generation can identify when they cross school?
Who will give the required knowledge about those streams school or parents or society?
If a person from a city doesn't get required information, what about remote ares?
in india 90% of the news telecasted is regarding crime, to educate people about crime. but in media 70% of magazines are sex magazines.
80% of tv channels are non informative.
and we know about movies. So who is in lime light who is going to enlighten the ignored?
people once lived on civil engineering then came electronics, then came computers the related courses and industries are visible but what about the courses like archeology and artifacts, which are being wiped of from the limited shadows.
A video media called movies had brought revolutions in many nations including India for their independence and growth, such a honored media is chosen by those who can't even think of a picture without a stripped dance.
Well my ambition is not questioning anyone about the above but i am not going to remain silent. I choose this forum to open this issue. If i don't get response I'll use other but we need to educate our self. please open and provide your valuable suggestions so that we can re structure a new education system. for that firdt step will be we must be clear about what are all the requirements and what are all the changes we need to see.
When Ex chief minister Y.S.Rajashekar reddy died every one saw the proof prints on t.v. I saw the rowdyism which roared on hyderabad streets. We faced a 3 day fast on those days because of deserted streets. a 70 old man who runs dvd shop has been threaten by few drunken well educated idiots, who came on bikes, for running his shop.that shop earns him daily food if at all anyone rents a cd.
doing special things is not heroism, being good is a difficult task. which we should never miss. lets enlighten future with some good spirit
The day when i don't learn is the day i die- swamy vivekananda.

Well phani i think our education system is not the only one to be blamed here.
It is the media and the circumstances we are living.
We all faced bad times while the telangana issue was on its high rise.
Everyday it was a dilemma whether today we will have college or not. Students suffered the most even though were innocent used by politicians as mere pawns for them. It fueled the fire for caste discriminations in our state, strikes, bands everywhere daily life came to a standstill.
What needs to be changed is attitude of people. But you know very well that those who have power and position in India how many of them are actually sincere??? No one is afraid of scams nowadays
Indians are poor but INDIA is not poor because 286 lakh crores of money are struck in the swiss bank. This money is sufficient to make our country a developed one but who cares??
So these things are the facts and part and parcel of life. All a common person can do is nothing frankly speaking. And an honest person
cannot survive in such a society that is a known reality

I dont blame High end people and thoughts but I am pointing out at the issue where education is diverted from it's grounds.
Education is not some thing which helps people in surviving. Education is something which give a direction in living.
If we can save education system from conspiracies, help children grow in a pleasant environment with a proper knowledge on what the things are? how should they be and keep the youngsters in an ideal environment away from all merely disturbances. we can change the attitude as u said.
Every Year more than 1.5 lakh I.T proffessionals are moving into market of which 5% are properly truly eligible 30 % are placed in jobs. remaining are on roads and institutes. Lecturers who teach them are either seniors or super seniors of them who were not at all linked with any IT sector. They were merely passed or holding some fake certificates.
No IT employee is running into any college and no college is inviting an IT professional for educational support. Industries are training people and offering jobs. You can check about India.
Every Year among 10-15 Lakh students who write exams-
5 % are addicted to alcohol when they are at 6th standard.
10-15% at 8th
15-20% at 10th
20-35% at Intermediate
35-%50% at Graduation 1st year
By the end of graduation it is reaching 70%
Of 10 lakh students 7 Lakhs are moving into drinks are just sleeping.
In remaining 30% how many are brilliant how many are attending courses just under pressure from family.
I know a family who forcefully made their children of age 7, 4 to drink "Kallu".
From the first day he is addicted.
Govt rule no wineshop should be present in 5km radius of any temple, court, educational institute. I need not tell how many are present around each. No institute is protesting.
Teachers forcing their own opinion on children rallied students for telangana and seemandhra. what do those innocent know the difference about?
That's why i am asking for a change. Education rules must be made strict so that no other person outside of this system can break the rule.
We need good human beings rather than great professionals to build a society.

To give much clear picture, I begin the change with few of my ideas-
1. Govt syllubus should be implemented from class 4.
reason-Till 5th class every school is forcing its own syllubus to bring students into competitions.To avoid the burden from students govt can take some initiation to begin from 4th.
2. An Extra subject should be included every year from 4th standard giving a brief intoduction of various streams in which a person can move.
Reason-so that they can form an opinion on those. We have to let them know some famous personalities in india and outer world for some inspiration
3.Exposure to outer world by taking them to different people of different streams like agriculture and industries and let them have some interaction.
4. Self defence for Female.
5. Must sports for children.
6. Questionaing and initiatives to be carried out by them so that they can ask outer world everything.

Well there are many more to add into the list.
I like your point of making Self defense a must in all schools. Girls must be made self sufficient and more determined.
I feel proud to have taken self defense training from summer camp especially for girls. many more programs must be brought forward in this regard.
Other point you mentioned is sports. sports should be given equal priority with academics and more encouragement and facilities must be provided

I take this opportunity to thank my school Suraj Bhan D.A.V public school for this.
our school D.A.V stands for Dayanand Anglo Vedic public school. It was aimed at providing education which is on par with both our ancient traditions as well as modern latest happenings
We used to have an extra subject called Ved Path. This subject was a must for all students in our school. We had this subject for more than 6 years that is fromclass 3rd till class 8th.
This subject was all about about ancient vedic teachings, hyms. Believe me those teachings are actually the essence of life. These must be taught to each and every individual
Not only this our school used to hold regular prayers to god and sandhya paths from the vedas every morning even though we were not interested to stand for hours. Many times we were made to perform yagna poojas etc also. In this way we were given a basic foundation about our indian values and morals like simple things such as touching the feet of elderly people, value our teachers and help others in need
The teachings of our school, their moral teachings and speeches were always inspiring to us.
In this way our school did a marvelous job in shaping the character of each and every student.
We also had additional subjects such as G.K., computer science, drawing and sports which used to have grades also since class 4th.
Every week we had an activity period in which we can take an activity that we like such as dramatics, dancing, singing, drawing and so on, small competitions among various sections which was very interesting and we had prizes for those also.
Why I am telling all this is because my school has made me a person that im proud of. All these measures if could be implemented by all schools in india will definitely bring a great change in individuals
Because of the foundation given by school and parents can make a person fear to do a small mistake and will give the ability to judge what is right and what is wrong

Guys please provide your valuable suggestions as the requirement for change is too critical. Just give a 10min thought on this. 10 min of your life.
People fight for Jobs, some till end of their life.
I dont know how many people struggle and how far they are reaching.
We say proudly we are in some better place, telugu people are every where. Yes telugu people are every where.
I am working in pune and I found more than half the slums filled with andhra folks.
And this is not the only case people have moved till punjab slums.
In Dubai and America Telugu speaking people are treated as slaves and force to live in store rooms and dorms. This is just because they don't know what to do and they feel they are incapable.
Only education can chenage the fate. It can bring confidance in them.
So every suggestion is valuable. keep posting. I found only one person responding. And no one else feeling responsible in rendering their fundamental duty of helping others.
