印网友：印度教育体制怎么了

Ashwin, In the transition of amateur to a mature writer

“Me: Who is your favorite cricketer in current era?

Indian Anonymous Student(not IAS): Of course man, Kohli.

Me: Who is your favorite cinestar in current era?

He: Sharukh

Me: Who is your favorite Indian scientist in current era?

He: DUMBSTUCK”

我:你最喜欢的板球运动员是谁?

印度匿名学生:当然了，科利。

我:在当今时代，你最喜欢的明星是谁?

他:沙鲁克汗

我:你最喜欢的印度科学家是谁?

他:DUMBSTUCK”

As early as 700 B.C., there exsted world’s first recognized giant university called Takshila , located in ancient India (now Pakistan) , educated thousands of students with hundreds of professors from several countries.

But where are we now? Why we are not producing as many scientists as we did in past?

Definition of education according to Collins dictionary is “The act or process of acquiring KNOWLEDGE, esp systematically during childhood and adolescence”. Now, in Indian version it can be edited as “The act or process of acquiring MARKS, esp systematically during childhood and adolescence”

早在公元前700年，世界上第一所被认可的大学叫做塔克西拉，位于古印度(现在是巴基斯坦)，来自几个国家的数百名教授培养了数千名学生。

但我们现在是怎么了?为什么我们没有像过去那样培养出那么多的科学家?

柯林斯字典对教育的定义是“在儿童和青少年时期系统地获取知识的行为或过程”。现在，印度的教育可以被改写成“在儿童和青少年时期有系统地获取分数的行为或过程”

Take Thomas Alva Edison, he is more famous for his 1000 failures than because of his bulb. Where is that support now? If there is one failure in our attempt, that’s it. No one will give a damn. That is why we students played/ are playing safe by opting Engineering/ MBA, together which got ridiculously more number of students than several countries.

The way students are being tested is one of the reason’s for the failure of the system. Student’s potential should be evaluated with exam. but now, student’s memory is being tested.

以托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生为例，他的1000次失败比他造出的灯泡更出名。现在我们能提供那种支持吗?如果我们的尝试失败了，那就是失败了。没有人会在乎。这就是为什么我们学生选择工程学或工商管理硕士的原因，这两个专业的学生人数比别的国家多得离谱。

对学生的测试方法是教育系统失败的原因之一。考试应该测试的是学生的潜力估。但现在，测试的是学生的记忆力。

Generally people say that students are stones to be carved as idols by teachers. but no one care whether that stone is suitable for carving idols or not. It could be a mighty construction material or could be a raw diamond.

一般人说学生是老师雕刻的偶像。但是没有人关心那块石头是否适合用来雕刻偶像。它可能是一种坚硬的建筑材料，也可能是一颗未经加工的钻石。

Most importantly, “AS LONG AS EDUCATION IS CONSIDERED AS JUST BUSINESS THERE WILL NOT BE ANY PROGRESSION IN OUR LEVEL OF EDUCATION, AS IT IS WAY BEYOND THE BUSINESS”

Reforms should Re-Form the system, should allow students just to contiNEW with their potential and shouldn’t make marks as a life and death issue, as the aim of education is to attain knowledge, not 9.5 C.G.P.A.

I think education system is trolled by many, everyone wants a change but as goes the saying “don't just wish the change, be the change” . We need to change the system ourselves , nobody else is gonna change it for us.

最重要的是，“只要教育被看作是商业活动，我们的教育水平就不会有任何进步，因为它远远超出了商业范畴。”

改革应该重塑这个体系，应该允许学生发挥他们的潜力，不应该把分数作为一个生死攸关的问题，因为教育的目的是获得知识，而不是9.5 C.G.P.A.

我认为教育系统被多数人诟病，每个人都想要改变，但俗话说“不要只是希望改变，要着手去改变”。我们需要自己去改变这个系统，没有人会为我们而改变。

Prashant Singh Rathore, Analyst at Capgemini India (2016-present)

I don’t remember from which class they started to teach us National Symbols of India.

But I guess we all have learnt that

National Sports of India is HOCKEY.

and

National Language of India is HINDI.

But they taught us wrong and still teaching wrong in every school.

I went to volunteer a government school in Bangalore named Government High School, Immadihalli, Whitefield, Bengaluru on 22 May 2017.

我不记得他们从哪节课开始教我们印度的国家象征。

但我想我们都知道

印度的全国性运动是曲棍球。

以及

印度的国语是印地语。

但他们教错了，而且时至今日，每所学校都还是如此。

2017年5月22日，我去班加罗尔的一所政府学校做志愿者，学校名叫Immadihalli, Whitefield, Bengaluru。

So after taking introduction of the students participating in summer camp.

I asked them firstly with

Who is the Prime Minister of India?

Everyone shouted Modi.

Later I asked them Who is the president of India?

Few voices with again Modi and then Silence. Then one guy shouted Dhoni.

Giggled with the class. Later I answered them Pranab Mukherjee.

Now I asked Which is our National Sports?

All shouted with Hockey. I was known with the fact that it isn’t our national game.

在对参加夏令营的学生做了介绍之后。

我先问他们

印度总理是谁?

每个人都喊着莫迪。

后来我问他们谁是印度总统?

有几个人又说是莫迪，然后就是一片寂静。然后一个人大喊:东尼。

全班一起咯咯笑。后来我告诉他们，答案是普拉纳布·慕克吉。

现在我问，我们的民族运动是什么?

所有人都喊曲棍球。但我知道这不是我们的国球。

Then I asked them Which is the National language of India?

All shouted with Hindi. I was aware of this also that it isn’t our national language it is our official language.

So I corrected them and shown them the answers written in Web by Googling them. But they are defending each others that I’m wrong.

One girl came up with the teacher who teaches them Social Studies.

So I had a discussion with him and I showed him proofs too. He was elder then me so he was hesitating in accepting it. Nobody will accept himself/herself wrong in front his/her students .

The problem is that he has also learned the same from those books which are used from over several years in the schools.

These are the students I’m volunteering that day. Two of us are volunteers and three are for the summer camp provided by school management. We are at the backside. Don’t count us as students.

然后我问他们印度的国语是什么?

所有人都大喊印地语。我也意识到这不是我们的国语，而是我们的官方语言。

所以我纠正了他们，并用谷歌搜索显示网上的答案。但他们辩解说我错了。

一个女孩找到了教他们社会学的老师。

所以我和他讨论了一下，我也给他看了证据。他比我大，所以不愿接受我所说的。任何人都不会在他们的学生面前认错。

问题是，他也从学校里用了几年的书中学到了同样的东西。

这些是我做志愿者那天的学生。我们有两个志愿者，三个是学校管理层派来的夏令营工作人员。我们在后面。别把我们当做学生。

Nishkal Chowdary Koganti

9th standard:

PTA meeting

Physics Teacher: Your son is very smart. He is hardworking too.

Dad: Thanks sir! He studies well. He is passionate about physics.

Physics Teacher: Yes. He has what it takes to be an IAS Officer. Prepare him for Civil Services. He would be a great officer.

Dad: That's good to hear sir.

I am just a 9th standard guy. All I knew was that I loved applying physics to daily life activities. I knew I loved Maths too. But I did not know about my future. I did not know what I would be or what I wanted to be. I approached my teacher the next day.

9年级:

家长会

物理老师:你儿子很聪明。他也很勤奋。

爸爸:谢谢先生!他学习好。他对物理学极感兴趣。

物理老师:是的。他具备成为航空科学学院官员的条件。为他的公务员生涯做好准备吧。他会成为一名伟大的官员。

爸爸:很高兴听到这个消息，先生。

我只是9年级的普通学生。我只知道我喜欢把物理知识运用到日常生活中。我知道我也喜欢数学。但我不知道我的未来。我不知道自己会成为什么样的人，也不知道自己想成为什么样的人。第二天我去找我的老师。

Class - the next day:

Me: Sir. I like physics. What is its future.

Physics Teacher: The future of physics is full of possibilities. There is infinite scope for exploring the field.

Me: Then why did you want me to be an IAS Officer.

Physics Teacher: Its a very stable job. You get security. You can get others to do your work for you. You will have many servants. You can earn very much. Even though the salary from government is less, you get lots of gifts (not so subtle). If you pursue physics, you can't earn much.

教室—第二天:

我:先生，我喜欢物理。它的未来是什么?

物理老师:物理的未来充满了可能性。探索这一领域的知识是浩瀚无边的。

我:那你为什么想让我成为航空科学学院的官员。

物理老师:这是一份非常稳定的工作。你的生活会很有保障。你可以让别人帮你做事。你会有很多仆人。你可以赚很多钱。虽然政府的薪水比较低，但你会得到很多礼金(不少呢)。如果你单纯深造物理，可赚不了多少钱。

Home:

Mom: How did the meeting go.

Dad: Great! His teacher told me that he has what it takes to even crack Civil Services.

Mom: He's too young. Let us give him a few years before we push him towards his goals.

(My mother is a professor. I am lucky. Not all are lucky to be afforded this freedom.)

回到家:

妈妈:家长会开得怎么样?

爸爸:太棒了!他的老师告诉我，他可能有能力胜任公务员工作。

妈妈:他太小了。让我们给他几年的时间，再帮他实现他的梦想。

我妈妈是一位教授。我是幸运的。并不是所有人都能幸运地获得这种自由。

Conclusion:

I tell my teacher I like his subject. He tells me it has good future. But money is the ultimate objective and it has less scope to earn money. He tells me to pursue another field.

I feel there is something fundamentally wrong if we educate our younger generation that one field has more priority over another. All are equal. It just depends on one's passion towards a field and a drive to pursue it.

As someone said: "Where would they be if Lata Mangeshkar picked up a cricket bat and Sachin Tendulkar became a singer."

结论:

我告诉我的老师我喜欢他的科目。他告诉我会有美好的未来。但是，金钱是终极目标，这个学科赚钱的空间比较小。他建议我去往另一个领域。

我觉得，如果我们教育年轻一代，让他们知道一个领域比另一个领域更需优先考虑，这从根本上就是错误的。所有工作都是平等的。应该取决于一个人对某一领域的热情和追求的内驱力。

就像有人说的那样:“如果拉塔•曼格斯卡拿起板球拍，萨钦•坦杜尔卡成为歌手，他们会在哪里?”

Swapnil Kabra, Teaching CA students since 5 years.

NOT QUESTIONING THE BASICS:

Okay, let me ask you a simple mathematical question first.

What is (a + b)^2 ?

Every student who has been taught mathematics would just spit this answer out:

= a^2 +2ab + b^2.

不质疑基本要素:
