Education system in India

Since ancient times, education has been a dominant force in society. The only change that has occurred is the substitution of teachers and schools with gurus and gurukuls. However, one crevice that is often overlooked is the true meaning of education in Indian society. We can see what perfect education is by breaking down this large issue into a few parts. The process of obtaining or imparting fundamental information, particularly at the school or university level, is characterized as education.

Education is a crucial aspect that contributes to the country’s improved literacy rate. The Indian government has primarily concentrated on providing education to all citizens since independence, and it has developed new initiatives to improve Indian education for many years.

The Indian education system is divided into four stages: lower primary, which is for children aged six to ten years, and upper primary, which is for children aged eleven to twelve years. High school, in which students begin school at the age of 13 and graduate at the age of 16, with the completion of upper secondary school occurring between the ages of 17 and 18. The Indian education system is regarded as the world’s oldest education system. It is not the greatest, despite being the oldest. The Indian education system is unproductive and inconvenient due to a lack of changes and improvements. Education, rather than being a formidable tool for shaping students into better beings with practical knowledge, has been reduced to an illusion of practicality due to several flaws. This eventually caused the system to fail, since it was no longer advantageous to pupils, eventually resulting to EXAM STRESS. Let’s see how things turn out.

The Indian education system has always been structured for a child to learn from a book and write tests in order to acquire excellent scores. While it aids in the development of children’s reading and writing skills, it does not aid in the acquisition of life skills. We frequently hear on the news that India’s unemployment rate is rising, and that many graduates with advanced degrees are unable to find work. So, what’s the deal with that? Our educational system is the answer. The Indian educational system was created to educate students how to achieve excellent grades and score high scores, but it was never intended to teach them how to live in this world. I completely agree that the education and information we gain from reading diverse books is unrivalled. However, while the Indian education system gives theoretical information to students, it is equally critical to educate them how to use that knowledge effectively, which many students fail to do, and this is one of the reasons why India’s unemployment rate is increasing at an exponential rate. Furthermore, the educational system is only a mirror of ideas, making it incredibly difficult for pupils to understand.

Failure to consider the balance in education, as well as how to deal with pressure, frequently leads to stress, with pupils becoming depressed as a result. It is the instructors’ obligation to allow pupils to think in new ways. Teachers should also instill in students the importance of classroom learning and teach them how to put it into practice. Furthermore, teachers must be open to the concept of learning new things from their students. If significant efforts are taken, our educational system may be improved. Instead than encouraging kids to prepare for exams by just mugging up textbooks for the goal of getting a good grade, more practical information should be imparted to them. The educational authority should provide pupils with opportunity to put what they’ve learned in the textbooks into practice. Our educational system should also provide opportunities for kids to gain financial skills that will assist them in surviving in this world. Education authorities should educate pupils how to budget money, save money, and invest it in various assets such as stocks, gold, silver, and other precious metals. This will aid pupils in their future preparation. According to the United Nations Organization (UNO), India is ranked 145th out of 191 countries in terms of educational provision. We aren’t even among the top 50 countries on the planet. It is not about comparison, it is about the quality education we are reciprocating to the youth. This demonstrates how much we need to improve in order to stay current. If we want our country to develop and progress, we must first improve the quality of education we offer to our youngsters. As the phrase goes, “Today’s children are tomorrow’s future,” thus we should begin by modernizing India’s educational system at the basic level. Rather of enabling students to study solely theoretical information, educational authorities should use practical approaches that allow students to apply what they have learned in the classroom. We must do it for the sake of a brighter future if we can bring a wave of revolution by moderating our educational system.

How to reduce stress.

Everyone is in the rat race to be super productive and to achieve life’s ambition neglecting the fact that how draining the entire process is. As overwork brings stress so is the topic, because we need to address these issues and it is quite necessary.

To deal with it we need to plan out the day effectively and manage everything as per the need. While no one can avoid all stress, you can work to handle it in healthy ways that increase your potential to recover.

Study and practice relaxation techniques. Taking the time to relax every day helps to manage stress and to protect the body from the effects of stress. You can choose from a variety of techniques, such as deep breathing, imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, and mindfulness meditation. There are many online and smart phone apps that provide guidance on these techniques; although some entail purchase costs, many are available free of charge.

Exercise regularly. In addition to having physical health benefits, exercise has been shown to be a powerful stress reliever. Consider non-competitive aerobic exercise, strengthening with weights, or movement activities like yoga or Tai Chi, and set reasonable goals for yourself. Aerobic exercise has been shown to release endorphins—natural substances that help you feel better and maintain a positive attitude.

Try to connect with people. A good support network of colleagues, friends and family can ease your work troubles and help you see things in a different way. If you don’t connect with people, you won’t have support to turn to when you need help,” says Professor Cooper. The activities we do with friends help us relax. We often have a good laugh with them, which is an excellent stress reliever.

Avoiding unhealthy habits could be good practice to reduce stress from day to day life. Speaking of which working on a sleep schedule is mandatory and sound of sleep of 8 hours should be taken.

Last but not least to try to stay positive as much as you can because you can never work on any of the aforesaid strategy unless you’re in the the mood to uplift you and do something better for yourself

India is pressuring Twitter with requests for user data and content removal.

This year, Twitter is under a lot of pressure in India. However, even before the country imposed stringent new regulations on tech firms, the corporation was bombarded with requests from the government to delete material or disclose user data.

Indian authorities requested more account information from Twitter in the final six months of 2020 than any other nation, according to the Silicon Valley-based company’s newest transparency report released on Wednesday. The number of requests for content removal submitted by India increased by 152% to over 7,000.

This journalist explains why one of her tweets vanished.

India’s demands for user information amounted to 25% of the total it received during the reporting period, which runs from July 1 to December 31, 2020, according to Twitter (TWTR). Over 99 percent of the requests were ignored by Twitter.

“Notably, this is the first time since we began releasing our transparency report in 2012 that the US is not the top worldwide requester,” the firm stated, adding that the US came in second in terms of global volume.

According to the company, the information requests comprised normal legal demands as well as emergency requests from government agencies and law enforcement authorities.

“Where appropriate, Twitter will push back on requests for account information that are incomplete or inappropriate,” according to the firm, such as those that are “invalid or overbroad in scope.” In the event of an emergency involving the risk of death or serious harm, the firm may reveal account information if sufficient proof is presented that such information will prevent the hazards.

Just over 150 information requests from India were classed as emergencies by Twitter. According to the firm, the United States sent the most such requests in the globe, with 822.

Meanwhile, legal requests from India to delete or withhold information increased by 152% in the latter six months of 2020 compared to the previous reporting period. Just over 9% of the 6,971 demands were met, according to Twitter.

After Japan, which made over 16,000 requests mostly connected to narcotics, obscenity, or money lending, India became the world’s second-highest submitter of such requests. The number of requests from Japan decreased by 16 percent from the previous quarter, but it still accounted for 43 percent of all worldwide requests.

According to the firm, 361 requests for information removal were made on 199 verified journalist and news outlet accounts throughout the world. It went on to say that India accounted for 128 of the requests.

The research excludes 2021 when Twitter is embroiled in a heated standoff with the Indian government over new information technology regulations.

During a series of farmer demonstrations in February, the business fought with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology over accounts that the agency wanted to be taken down. Some of the requests were granted, but Twitter declined to take action against accounts belonging to journalists, activists, or politicians.

Weeks after the feud, India issued new rules requiring social media companies to establish three roles in the country: a “compliance officer” who will ensure that their platforms comply with local laws, a “grievance officer” who will handle complaints from Indian users about their platforms, and a “contact person” who will be available to Indian law enforcement 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They are all required to live in India. If authorities demand it, companies must track out the “first originator” of messages.

In May, the firm raised worries about “fundamental components of the new IT Rules” as well as the country’s “potential threat to freedom of speech.” It promised to fulfill the new standards a few days later.

A Delhi court recently chastised Twitter for failing to comply with the new guidelines promptly. In a court filing last week, the business stated that it had appointed an interim compliance officer. It also stated in the filing that it will “attempt in good faith to make an offer of employment to a qualified candidate” for all of the positions within eight weeks.

The company’s website featured a complaints officer and a Bangalore location where Twitter could be reached as of last weekend.
