Education system
Here the system means different ways to impart the way in which students can gain the knowledge and make them aware of the facts and make use of that factual knowledge in their life, future developments. Many countries follow different patterns to do the latter for their own interests which actually shouldn't be.
In our country we say State syllabus, CBSE (Central Board of Secondary education), ICSE (Indian Certificate for Secondary Education), IB ( International Baccalaureate).
Each has its own way according to the standards of the recipients. People often compare these systems and say particular system is easier than the other, some say some are very poor and they go on. But I wonder how in the world these are comparable. They are not actually different, every system's goal is to impart the knowledge.
Okay, lets go to the primary education. This helps children to understand the language and write it. Well it teaches about their surroundings and the society. In secondary education, students have to start using their grey matter and system imparts factual knowledge into them. We can say that it shows them or moreover helps them to see the the path of their interest and gives a brief account of the facts and the history regarding. In professional courses it's just gaining the knowledge to improve ourselves.
This seems all perfect! But we do hear a term called Practical education. What is this practical education? Isn't education itself is learning from experiences and surroundings?
Yes it is, but see the now world which is full of competition. we can say that it is a competitive- corporate world (Competitive is a world with a broad meaning). Now getting a job for a student has become definition for success. Not only for the mere student , even for entire society. This blocks innovation, out of box thinking. So obviously schools also have become a place for business and to run a good business you should attract your clients with your products. So the school must rise in its rank and in turn get more income. SO for the latter to happen the school authorities should that they are the best in providing education.
How can this be done? How will an institution show that it is the best? Here comes the ranks, institutions concentrate on imparting such factual knowledge that a student can paste that in their examinations. The examination board being unchanged gave the institutions more scope to harvest ranks just by imparting factual knowledge. Because of this students lack logical thinking, ability to reason, creativity. They stop to stand out from the crowd and start becoming part of the crowd.
Here came the rise of the importance of practical education. Practicality helps students to work on the factual knowledge and bring out advanced facts.
If we talk in a technical manner, then facts are nothing but results derived from the experiments. But education id acquiring knowledge regarding the experiments. These results are important because to stop future generations to repeat the same mistakes and not to waste their time but rather combine these results and experiments and dig more into the science.
Practical education is nothing but the original meaning of the education. For today's generation i would say that it is the application of the book acquired knowledge on tour daily life.
Books have created a base, now stand on that and construct magnificent structure of knowledge.
