Question

The system of education in our country is defective. It is not keeping pace with the passage of

time. It follows the pattern which was valid five decades ago.

The aim of education is to prepare students for the tough battle of life. The basic needs of

life are a sound mind in a sound body, and skill to make a living. It widens the sphere of

knowledge and builds our character. In short, education should turn out a strong team of

responsible citizens.

Education has to be related to life and also the needs of the nation. Not gold but only

men of character make a nation great and strong.

It is unfortunate that our policy-makers give little importance to moral education and noble

values. They set up schools and colleges only to turn out an army of graduates, good for nothing.

We need men with brain, we need good scientists and technicians, we need tough soldiers for the

army.

Education for all sounds sweet. But mere slogans and schemes on paper won’t take us far.

Our leaders don’t have the will to serve the nation. Also schemes fail at the ground level.
