Need To Revamp The Education System

Students’ Oxygen Movement once again stood against all the odds and continued its fight against coaching scam. Despite of extreme cold and severe weather conditions, students made their presence felt by reitering their 3 valid demands.
Firstly, coaching fees should be taken on monthly basis. Secondly, details of the students to be published enrolled for various competitive examinations. And lastly, publish details of student under poor/tallented/minority category for free coaching.
As said by Mahatma Gandhi, Father Of our Nation, “ Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from the
indomitable will.” Following the foot steps of our Bapu, the students have taken a strong hold against coaching scam. They have been raising their voices since a long time and they are still fighting so that their demands could be met.
It is a very sad plight to see that there has been commercialization of education on a wide scale. It is almost a threat to the future of education and it will surely have severe repercussions on the future of the students as well.
Gone are the days when there was a system of Pathshalas and Gurukuls where Gurus used to transmit pure knowledge to their shishyas. And the gurudakshina used to be rendering service to the Gurus by the shishyas.
Today the scenario is different. At the time of admission itself huge chunks of money is extracted from the students without any cent percent guaranty of placement. Forget about the quality of education and the standard or even the basic educational qualifications of the teacher eligible enough to take classes.
It is high time that the government should intervene and take a strict stand against coaching centers which are money minting hubs. The guardians should also behave in a responsible manner while getting their wards admitted in coaching institutes by doing thorough enquiry about each and every details of the place. The students should help their parents in this regard.
No doubt, all these efforts will not go in vain and surely if these suggestive measures are taken into action, the future of education system will be bright and will set as a trend for others to follow.
