There is something beyond books and grades. The system has to get out of red tape and mediocrity. Every school should teach students to remove such words as mediocrity and compromise from their dictionary. Teach them about the power of dreams, passion, having a subject like biography or autobiography and tell those stories from the Wings of Fire, Made in Japanand many more. Every student should know about the great dreamers and achievers and the likes of Akio Moritas,and the Einsteins.
A very pragmatic and radical approach towards education is bound to take this nation to greater heights and would make the future citizens of the country to question the answers rather than answering the questions.
An educational system should foster a culture of change, a culture of dreaming high with a personal vision and a culture which would breed confidence in children. It is the sole responsibility of the educational system to blend the personality of the students at a young age and not that of the industry to start from scratch. The deciders of a future economy are the students of the present economy, but some one called a teacher (I would rather call them mentors and sculptors of the future economy) is required to catalyse the mindset of the future economy. A mediocre teacher teaches, a good teacher motivates, an excellent teacher inspires.
The power of dream is so amazing. It instills hope, the will the challenge the status quo. A new year, a new beginning, hope we dream more and dream big.
Happy New Year
