“Education is the passport to
the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” —Malcolm X
I
joined as a faculty member and became a professor as I am passionate about
teaching and shaping students as global leaders. However, I was not happy the
way things were going on in the private educational institutions in India. The
education system was outdated, students did not show much interest in
education, and parents pressurized their children to acquire grades in exams. Some
of the private educational institutions involved in fraudulent activities
harming the interests of the students and faculty members. Here are some ways
we can improve the education system.
Reform
the education system. The world is changing rapidly and there is an urgent need
to reform the education and improve it as per the changing times and
technologies and rising expectations and aspirations of the students.
Respect
teachers. Students must understand and appreciate the fact that every good
teacher wants his/her students to excel better than him/her. Most teachers
remained as teachers whereas some of their students reached the highest
positions. Of course, Jack Ma is an exception who was an English teacher,
founded Alibaba, and became a successful entrepreneur. A great teacher can
inspire thousands of students in his/her lifetime.
Emphasize
elementary education because it is the foundation for education. Emphasize
innovation and creativity. Don’t stress excessively on exams alone. Students
must love learning, teachers must love teaching, and parents must love
nurturing. Stress on education to develop a global mindset in students and
groom them as global citizens.
Conclusion
“Education
breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.” —Confucius
Educators,
students, education, and institutions must reform to achieve quality education
globally. If you respect teachers, you respect knowledge, you respect education,
and you respect the future. Therefore, respect teachers. Education helps you
evolve as a better version of yourself. If you have the right education with a
global perspective, you hardly criticize, complain, and condemn others. You
respect everyone under the sun on the earth. To conclude, integrated and
coordinated efforts from all stakeholders including educators, students,
institutions, parents, nonprofits, and government are essential to ensure that the
future of world education is bright.
“Give
a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him
for a lifetime.” —Maimonides
