Few weeks back a girl committed suicide as she failed to get admission. It was the prime headlines for almost all media for sometime. There are debates, strikes, politicians of opposition parties attacking present government and then? What is the result? Did anyone of us think about the permanent solution? Why a girl who is able to crack a state based examination unable to crack the national wide exam? It's just an examination, Is examination more precious than her life?
Who is responsible? What is the justice? All these questioned are buried unanswered just like her dreams, may be little later. It's all normal, back to same old style. We lost the plot, yet again failed to resolve the root cause of the problem. This is one which came out of many ambiguous lives some leading their life in the way the world is taking them and some are crushed and trying to end their life. Very few gifted ones following their heart. When I tried to connect all the dots I often end up in our education. Is our education helping us to evaluate ourself? I don't know the answer but I can only say its not helping us to build mental strength to handle failures. It is not helping us in dealing with pressure situations. I had mentioned these points in my previous articles too but more I think on a problem I end up in common point 'Education'. When I say education it includes the physical strength, mental strength, character building. Do we have such a system which helps us to understand our strengths, weaknesses and helps us in improving? Why are we having so many complications in the system, CBSE, ICSE, different state based?Why is our system so examination centered? Forget system, why are we so examination centered? I have come across situations where your personality is evaluated based on your performance in examination. I have seen parents evaluating friends based on the position they stand in the class. Eventually this is creating a mindset in the young minds that life is a failure if they fail in examinations. Some bright stars who are tasting near success are also losing their way. Some who are meant to taste success in other fields are not even allowed to enter the field which they are talented in. On the other hand there are some who acquire success just through money, influence and others. Where is the equal opportunity prescribed in the preamble of our constitution? Quality education is the basic right of every child. Are their rights protected? So many unanswered questions. I hope we find at least some answers soon. I wish that I could bring in change to answer them. I feel as a nation we need to step in and build our basic needs.
I dedicate this article to all those stars those are disappeared from the sky. Hope they disappeared for a cause. Let us make sure that we protect the existing stars. Jai Hind. Satyamevajayate.
