Education

Education is the process of learning, gaining knowledge, skills, morals, values, habits and helps us with our personality development. Education is a powerful tool for the development of a nation. It has the power to drive away poverty, when it is provided to each and every individual of the society.

Education Then and Now

What was education back then? place where education was taught back those days were called as gurukul, students used to stay there and learn and they had strict rules to follow , one more thing about gurukul is that, only a specific set of students were allowed to learn in gurukul. After some years education was developed a lot more and students who were denied to get education were also allowed to learn. Students used to sit on ground and used slate and chalk to write and learn. Now education has reached another level of growth, students use e-books, that is all their learning stuffs are available in mobiles, pcs, laptops or tablets. Even during COVID we managed to learn through online, but the question is, was it as effective as offline schooling? Majority of us felt that offline classes were lively and more interactive, rather than watching those screens sitting, surrounded by walls.

Education being a burden

Education was fine until it was limited, when we learnt things in moderation, when competition was less. The population plays an important role in education. Since the population increased a lot the competition for getting into a school, college and job has increased a lot. In order to cope up with the competition students learn a lot of stuff than needed, push themselves so hard to prove themselves in this society. There is this trend where all of us either want to be a doctor, engineer or collector, we just forget that there are thousands of fields to learn. If each one of us find what we really need and work on it, definitely there won’t be these many competitive exams to be either a doctor or a engineer. Once our population becomes steady and these toxic stereotypes comes to an end, the education won’t be a burden to students and all of us would get a quality education.
