Indian Education system

Mug Mug Mug - Yes...thats right!...Thats the success mantra for students in the Indian Education System.. I just got over my 7th semester BE exams and i realised one thing - I have just mugged my way through..!....Ask any person abt the working of any method and you get this standard reply - "Why u bother?....Jus mug and vomit in the exam!".....The more you replicate the text book content in your answer sheet, the more you get marks!......and thats true!.....Even in case of subjects like Mathematics.....the usual questions come from various parts of the text book (mostly solved questions).....Mug up the entire text book and you are done!....Practical subjects like programming can also be handled in the "mug" way....Usual programming questions also come from textbooks...(It is very difficult for the question paper setter to write his own question and form the answer)....Study those textbooks.....memorize them and you are done!.......

This is called the Rote Learning System .....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rote_learning
.....and yes..India is mentioned!

Its high time our Education system gets a revamp.....The system is releasing robots in form of engineers and doctors who are programmed to work but just can't think!.....The streams where your creativity is tested like Arts and Languages have no takers.....The no. of people taking up basic sciences as their main stream is dwindling day by day......Its real sad how things are going on...A society cannot survive with only doctors and engineers!.....

One major thing lacking in the Indian Education system - To inculcate the ability to "Think different"....The progress of human race is impossible without thinking different.....The few who dared to think different have made India proud....its high time the rest do too!!..

These are lines from an Apple Ad......

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.
