Education is necessary for every individual. It is not a commodity, but it is a system of values, a bundle of knowledge, a form of belief and the key for constructive development. Education opens the eyes of a person to see what is right and what is wrong. A real educated person is one who has a sense of discernment and a strong character. Education forms the foundation of one's life, nurturing him/her with values, spiritual and moral, and along with theoretical knowledge, extra-curricular activities and vocational training, helps in the overall development. It teaches us the way of life and helps us implement whatever we have learnt. In today's society also, where we witness the changed meaning of education, there is a need to bring about a change in this flawed system of education. Unlike the real preaching of education, in today's times we are taught only the theoretical matter contained in books and that too in a manner that helps us only to score marks in examinations and earn good money in the future. Education is sold in schools like a product and its sole teaching is the importance of money in one's life. The 'so-called' educated people are busy minting money for themselves and increasing their bank balances, caring nothing for the source or the means. Our education system is giving us the power to decipher between the right and the wrong but more than succeeding in this aspect, it has failed to do so; the reason being the modified education system according to the needs of the ambitious few. We, the students and the future decision makers have realized that this system needs support, modification and improvement and its time when we start spreading this message to our society. Let's start from today, from our level and each of us take small steps towards a big change.

Education today has become a mere marketable commodity. There is a mad rush among students as well as their parents to get more and more marks. Our educational system has failed to teach the students difference between right and wrong as it is supposed to do.The need for today is to bring up reforms in our educational system so that it can inculcate those moral values among students as it is required to do.
