Pathway to create 500 world class Indian Universities-Teachers-Students
Education has taken us all this far in evolution.The process created better ,smarter, more learned students than his /her teachers ,a step ahead of them ,leading mankind to one step ahead each generation.
GEN next has to be smarter and more knowledgeable than us ,that is must. Without forgetting the essentials they should take a leap in thinking in all fields to create new ideas .Ability to think anew ,refreshing ways to look at the same things help us evolve .
What should we do what exactly is the SWAT analysis of our educational sustem at present?
Many of us know about the problems, insurmountable they may be looking at present but atleast we all can think- imagine ,draw out castles in the air so that somebody else may benefit some day sooner than many cynics may think!
AIM:To create, uplift the present set ups in INDIA ,into truely world class Universities places of learning thinking,analysing new information that comes daily ,actually dig out new things ,do all that the NObel winning laurates and their facilitators do all across the world.
What exact changes are required in the spheres of students, teachers and facilitators -policy makers many of whom are bottle necks for progress!! Forget the political debate about how to eventually ? remove caste reservations and other Regional biases that are cliche.Think about what can we offer as solutions a path way to all those who are today in the field of training educating imparting skills and actually making them think anew in the basic filed of Education.
LET US ALL START RAISING OUR VOICES ABOUT A FIELD THAT WILL DECIDE LIVES OF OUR GEN NEXTAND OUR NATION..
BEGIN..EXPRESS YOURSELVES DESPITE ALL CYNICISM AND SEEMIGLY UN CLIMBABLE OBSTACLES...
HOW TO ENSURE MORE THINKING STUDENTS AND MORE THOUGHT PROVOKING ''SIMPLIFIERS''FACILITATORS =TEACHERS WHO BRING OUT THE BEST IN THE YOUNG MINDS...??
LET SOME IDEAS FLOW FROM ALL OF US..OUR ECHOES WILL JOIN AND SHAKE THE SYSTEM I AM SURE...
1.Start from the TOP--Absence of a dynamic apolitical leader -Minister of central or state government for education is a must !! REMOVE GERIARTRIC POLITICIANS-BABUS WHO DIVIDE US DAILY IMMEDTIATELY..
2.iT IS THE STUDENTS who make a University more than its good teachers.AGENDA IS FOR THEM..
3.FREEDOM TO QUESTION ANYTHING -ANY SYSTEM OF FACILITES AND TEACHING AND TEACHERS IS MUST with discipline and humility =Pari Prashnen Sevaya-GURU ji why are you NOT wrong here? ''I have not understood this '' (SWAMI CHINMAYANANDJI )...tHIS attitude IS NEEDED of all students few are enough in each places.
4.ABSENCE OF FEAR OF BACK LASH -EXAM FAILURES AND VENOM BIAS BY ELDERS this is the biggest obstacles in India!! Student is judged by questions he she asks.NOT HERE!! LISTEN MORE all teachers as you expect them students to listen to you..ANTAR PARKHI DE DE RAM ''-(SWAMI SAMARTH RAMDAS JI 1682AD).
5.SYSTEM OF EXAMS WHICH CAN REMOVE THIS FEAR OF A PERSONAL BACK LASH BY UNJUST TEACHERS CAN INSTILL THE CONFIDENCE FEARLESS NESS THAT CAN CREATE GREAT STUDENTS ALL OVER .
6.REMOVE PERSONAL FACTORS IN ALL THE EXAM LEVEL,OBJECTIVE ANAYLSIS AND LATER OPEN VIVA SYSTEM WHERE EXAM IS TAKEN IN FRONT OF ALL STUDENTS AND QUESTIONS ARE SEEN HEARD BY ALL AS THEY ANSWER USING TECHNOLOGY WHERE ONES OWN ANSERS ARE JUDGED MARKED..
7.AGAIN I STRESS 'INJUSTICE'' FEELING OF BIAS PARTIALITY IS THE BIGGEST THORN IN THE HEART AND MINDS OF THE STUDENTS THAT KEEPS THEM FROM BEING FREE TO STUDY AND ASK AND LEARN AND ACHIEVE GREATER HEIGHTS,,LET US ALL FIGHT TO REMOVE THIS WHERE EVER WE ALL ARE..
8.HOW TO GET MORE STUDENTS INTO A CLASS?
9. HOW TO MARK THEIR EFFORTS OF PRESENCE AND ABSENCE BUY A E CARD CREDIST CARD TYPE WHERE THEIR EFFORTS ARE REWARDED AND ABSENCE PUNISHED..
10 .MARK TEACHERS AND THEIR TEACHING TOO THIS WAY..AFTER EACH CLASS?
11.E STORE ALL EDUCATIOAL MATERIAL WITH LIVE ADDED COMMENTS SO THAT EVEN IN ABSENCE OF A TEACHER OR MORE STUDENTS CAN LEARN FROM THE BEST TEACHER-AN IDEA THATCAN CHANGE LIFE TYPE OF TEACHING?? !! INNOVATE PLEASE..ACCEPT NEW WAYS ..
12.BEST TEACHERS_HONORARY TEACHERS, PART TIME PROFESSIONALS ACCORDING TO STUDENTS DEMANDS..??
13.PURPOSE OF GOOD EDUCATION IS TO CREATE TEACHERS LIKE A FARMER HAS SEEDS AND SAPLINGS GROWN AFTER A HARVEST TO USE THEM TO SOW A NEW FIELD IN A NEW SEASON FOR BETTER QAULITY MAINTAINED HARVEST...ATMOSPHERE WHERE MORE STUDENTS TEACH..TEACHER IS BORN NOT ALWAYS TRAINED ..TRUE STILL TRAIN ALL OF THEM TO MAINTAIN STANDARDS..
14 WHO WILL BELL THIS CAT-ALL-MOST ??- OF THE PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA ARE BUILT BY THOSE WHO WERE HAVING NO LINK WITH ACTUAL,EDUCATION..POLITICIANS OR THEIR STOOGES AND ''FACILITATORS'' WERE REWARDED BY LAND AND ALL HELP ASSURED TO CREATE A MONEY SPINNING MACHINES..I AGREE THEY TOO DID A REMARKABLE JOB OF BUILDING MANY INSTITUTIONS..MANY GREAT TEACHERS MAY NOT BE GREAT ADMINSTARTORS OR UTOPIA CREATORS..STILL...
15.GOVERNMENT RUN INSTITUTIONS ARE STILL GREAT BETTER THAN SOME NEW ''INDUSTRY'' BACKED A TARGET DRIVEN EDUCATIONAL COLLEGES -''UNIVERSITIES'' WHO HAVE THEIR OWN AGENDAS ...STILL WE ALL KNOW THAT TO RAISE OUR UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT RATIO FROM 11 % TO 54 % OFTHE usa ET AL WE NEED ''ALL TYPES ''-REGULATED BY SOME SUPREMELY SELF LESS SHORT AND LONG TERM THOUGHT OUT POLICY BODY..INFUSED BY NEW BLOOD EACH TIME ..
LET US FIND IDEAS AND IDEA MAKERS ACROSS THE NATION & ECHO THE GOOD ONES ---DAY DREAM FOR A BETTER SYSTEM ,JUST, FAIR ,OPEN AND ABLE TO GET THE BEST FROM EACH ONE OF THE GEN NEXT OF INDIANS --SOME OF WHOM LIKE MANY TODAY GIVE IT BACK AHEAD.
tHIS IS NEEDED TO TAKE US TO THE FORE FRONT IN THE YEARS TO COME..GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND ITS SUSTAINERS-STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FACILITATORS..
MUCH MORE IS NEEDE D TO LIFT THIS HUGE MOUNTAIN OF 'GOVARDHAN' LIFTING ALL STRATAS OF OUR VARIED SOCIETY EVEN THOSE WHO RESIST-THEY REQUIRE THESE CAHNGES MORE THAN ANYBODY..
BUT A JUST SYSTEM THAT REWARDS THE HEIGHTS OF EACH EFFORTS AND PUNISHES DISCOURAGES ''ITS ENEMIES'' SHOULD BE IN PLACE IN ALL FOUNDATIONS OF OUR EDUCATION AND LIVING AS THE FIRST STEP TOWRDS THIS GOAL..
LIGHT A CANDLE TODAY EACH ONE OF YOU WHO CARE ..FOR INDIA GEN NEXT AND THEIR LIVES-STATUS-ROLE IN THE WORLD OF TOMMORROW..
