Education aims at overall development of an individual. But, today, unfortunately our present education system fails to help us in our overall development. As a result, we see the flaws in the society. A thing which we badly need at this moment is an innovative mind. But, unfortunately, today we lack these innovative minds. And why not? The system is in tatters and this is for sure. Today children are not trained to invent or they are not made innovative rather they are made to mug up facts.
What a sorrow! These children thus keep on burdening themselves with loads of books and stuffs aimlessly. Yes, indeed today we have changed children’s minds from powerhouses to storehouses. The present generation totally needs powerhouses everready with them rather storehouses. We may see that in other countries the children are made innovative and thus those children’s minds are converted into powerhouses. In those countries even children invent various things. Further more, they are not bound to various course books given in the curriculum rather they transcend those boundaries.
Let us step forward towards an education system that transforms children’s minds into powerhouses that may generate new ideas, bring forth new inventions and furthermore help in making this world a better place to live in than a mere storehouse that keeps on converting children in parrots even better than wizards in tales do.
First of all, we need to encourage students to take up innovative ideas and move a bit aside from books too. Because the present tendency of the system is to prepare more and more bookworms. Lets move towards powerhouses than storehouses.

Today our education system totali fails in providing overall development to a student/individual the reason to it is that it does not provide vocational training .Due to which the minds of our youngsters convert from powerhouse to a storehouse in which things can be stored but no useful/creative thing can be take out
an idle mind is a devil's wrkshop. this holds tru for what is happening with even r society. if u only ruch for name, fame n affluence,there comes a day when u r deluded and dismayed to such n extent that one cannot at times think back at the once flown by n relax. leave apart the voctional training issues!theres so much of artificiality n so much of the hidden corruption that what can u hold on for!
While considering school education, they are simply mugging the answers and producing the same in their exams. It should not be so. Education must make the student THINK. It must make them invent new ideas and not reinvent the same wheel.

i don't think the education system or even the teachers are to be blamed for the new tradition mugging.upto school level,there are theories which can be understood but a student can do good even by mugging,so its upto the students , which way he/she likes.for the growth of innovative ideas, there are projects, practicals..it depends on students
how efficiently & truly he does it.
