Future Schools of India

Fifteen percent of Earth’s human resource belongs to India. This is a great truth that can make this country a leader.

Our education system is devoid of a holistic vision. Government spends thousands of crores of taxpayers money for school education creating lacs of educated youth wandering about unemployed though there is no dearth of opportunities. Teachers lack vision and methodology and we have no national plan as to what to do with army of graduates.

In the first place, our kids study to obtain jobs. The purpose of education is to prepare citizens for life, not living. A fresh pass out doesn’t know where to go for work. He chooses a stream of study which is not of his/her interest but promises a job where naturally one is unlikely to make great success.

For instance, a student is a very good artist but spends his precious years studying hard to make entrance into engineering. He will be a dump as an engineer because he has went against nature. Another student has good selling skills but pushed into teaching. A would be script writer becomes a doctor. Result- lots of right people placed wrongly.

Instead, I would suggest we have a national job bank and talent profile maintained by schools and colleges. No student should have to strive searching the job. Let him pursue what he loves to do. On passing out he shouldn’t have to struggle finding a suitable placement. Agencies can help making a match that is best suited to youth’s talent and skills. Unless such student finds a job, he should be compensated with a living allowance.

If somebody is ready to invest I can for sure create such a model. There will be a rush for admissions and students would love coming to school.
