Out-dated Traditional Learning

Why is that we always stereotype, traditional to be out-dated and obsolete part of our lives, this is quite a thought provoking question, because what we think today, is transferred to our preceding generations. Traditional ways of learning have still not lost its charm, even after technology taking over everything in the world, there are children who love the smell of new hardbound text books, they still love to cover their books with brown paper and feel very happy in class to read up a lesson in the text book in class.

Textbook give the feel of learning something to every child, the process of learning is somewhat incomplete without referring to the school text books. Maths is subject, where old tricks of calculation makes the work easier, one may have been equipped with the latest digital calculator, but in the end when the calculator repeats the error command for a calculation, even the most technology savvy person has no option but to perform the entire calculation manually on paper to cross check his or her error.

India is the country, where great and learned men came up with several educational theories and formulas and that also without the help of technology. I’m not against the use of technology, but I want to point out the fact that if the simplest things could be done in the simplest ways then why is it that we wish to complicate it further by using gadgets that don’t need the required attention for that work.

For instance, according to the recent researches conducted, Indian students are known to perform brilliantly compared to students abroad. It is not because they are using the most latest technologies, or they are using the latest Ipad’s or IPhone’s, it is simply because they are using their brains. Even after being the most powerful country and nuclear equipped in the world, why are most of the Indians getting job offers from companies in America and why are American kids not faring well enough grades in their schools.
India may have once been the land of snake charmers and elephant riders, but India was never the land of fools, we may use the most traditional forms of teaching and learning in schools but we are proud that are students are the one’s placed in the top most institutions around the world and they are looked forward to as an example of perfect students by other teachers, parents and even the President of America.

World Leaders of Education

The way to civic life and greater knowledge comes from receiving adequate education. Education in India is becoming costlier day by day, but parents in India consider it there lifelong duty to pay for their child’s education and other study related expenses. And we the students hold it as our privilege to receive lifelong funding from our parents in terms of education.

The education sector in India has innumerable courses and subjects to offer that no student would feel insignificant compared to any other student. However, compared to other countries in the world, the education sector might have several flaws swept under the carpet, but in reality the students in India fair an IQ which is quite superior to kids in other countries.

We follow a very traditional way of learning and studying, which was passed on to us when the British’s came and invaded India and decided to educate the natives. India might be a traditional and backward country in terms of its infrastructure and other facilities but it has grown and has been nurtured into a unique being that it exists today.

There are so many schools, colleges and universities that are both nationally and internationally recognized all around the world. Every single day this sector is growing and taking a whole new dimension to it its existence. Millions and millions of students are passing out of the institutions and taking up diverse fields of employments careers every single day. India is a country with a growing and thriving world economy; every other country is surprised to believe that a country so immensely Populated as this one, with a democratic background and a semi-permeable economy, is showing signs of constant growth and development.
It is also a matter of great surprise to other economies how India as a country hasn’t fallen apart so far and still exists to work and develop at very progressive rates. It is possible because of the empowering educational system that is present in the country. Every person contributes to the making of a nation; similarly, India owes its existence to the many engineers, entrepreneurs, industrialists, politicians, labourers, lawyers and several other professions whose combining efforts have resulted in the country that we live in today.


Therefore, we should continue to strive to excel and gain lots of accomplishments for the honour and glory of our country, because their visions for strengthening the country has definitely borne fruits in our lives through the accomplishments we hold today.
