Good Result or Reality-oriented Education?
(Article by Jaber Mir)
Education is one of the basic human needs among all others but the question should come first what type of education should be welcomed,that is,only earning certificates from schools, colleges,universities is the motto or the education based on life,reality,civility,character, nation-building,society -building or leading life to the land replete with reaches,knowledge,humanity,jobs and free from prejudices.In the society and the country now most of the family and state-runners boast of the percentage of passing the public examinations or having a good as well as an eye-catching result without thinking the future of the result but it should not be the only target of education. No doubt,education promotes sensibilities,develops humanity,helps to take right decisions in life but are they really found in our education which we achieve triumphantly?
In the SSC and HSC examinations a great number of students get GPA-5 and the institutions along with the guardians pride themselves on the acquired result and result-based occasions are enjoyed all-round but when the same students with distinguished result sit for the admission test in the universities for higher education,most of them fail to get minimum marks of the requirement. Now a gospel question crops up why this deplorable condition is seen,the answer behind this failure is result-based education, not knowledge or reality-oriented and so it happens almost every year.
Another vivid phenomenon is our students get good results but an oceanlike gap of humanity,sensibility,truthfulness,honesty,modesty,courtesy,showing due homage to others is found within them but here is also a burning question,why!The answer is education without morality,humanity,conscience and so on.
Another sphere of education is,education not agelike,that is,our education mostly is beyond the demands of the present age and so,our educated youngsters cannot cope with the standard both inwardly and outwardly.Now higher certificates are random at each and every family but not in line with the demands of the present age.
. . So,time has come to think deeply over our education system,a distinguished or eye-catching result brings nothing if it is not life or reality-oriented rather the future generation must plunge into boundless ocean if no pragmatic change in education will be welcomed.
