Every Tom,Dick and Harry is talking about changing the educational system. It seems people find it easy to talk about it. In reality, they do not seem to consider all the pros and cons and as well the checks and balances.
It is a huge area, and it is one of the industry which is in existence for over millenia, I am sure people have not put in enough time and energy, before making such sweeping statements, they are either reacting to one or the other experiences of themselves or repeating the oft said quotes.
There are certain fundamental questions, that needs to be addressed, while taking up such a work.
Why do we educate our younger ones?
This question is answered in many ways, broadly speaking, do we see education as an investment or a non-commercial acitivity. Either of your choices lead to so many more questions and ensuing debates.
How should we educate?
What is the role of literacy in Education? should the children be literate to get educated? How does the literacy influence the education, will it be better off to educate without making them literate? These are serious questions, which will need a deeper research.
When should we educate?
What is the age, the education should start, and when should making them literate start?
How do we evaluate their learning?
and How do we evaluate their education?
The gap between the teaching and learning! what did you intent to teach and what did the other person learnt? how do you identify the gap?
