EDUCATION COMMERCIALISED
We all live in a world where getting educated is the most essential part of the human life. No matter what you getting? From where you are getting? And how you are getting but if you are not in the school or any educational institution you are a failure as per the society. Every single parent strives hard in order to provide education to their kids, no matter they themselves got education or not. Over a period of time the capitalist or commercial class of the society have taken a great advantage if this necessity of the people. They have to a very extent converted the deed of giving knowledge into a deed of earning money. It’s now a time that we should ask us one simple question. Are the people who were there years back and have attained levels of divinity, truth or wisdom they went to schools? I am sure the answer will be “NO” but in true sense they had more knowledge about life, divinity and attained high self respect and courage. We today see lots of schools being built up round the cities, starting from kindergarten, crèche, and even higher secondary schools. They all acclaim to provide highest levels of education and so but in real they play with the future of the country and the person studying there just in order to make money. The quality of education is not even up to basis level of standards as prescribed by the CBSE, ICSE or STATE BOARDS. They show the parents the outer beautification the system but the hidden coal is always a mystery for them. Parents in order to provide their kids education and make him/her capable to deal with the society put them on these schools only as per their economic status and availability of resources. I am here not criticizing the schools on personal grounds but talking in general terms, these days every society have their own kindergartens and preparatory schools. Even people as per their convenience are putting them in those schools? But Are you doing justice to your child?
The second problem is the increase in the finances of the schools and collection of money on regular basis either in the form of fees, miscellaneous charges, fares… except the basic fees a parent has to pay so much extra money WHY? Even certain schools keep on changing their uniforms, books and publications in order to get more money. The frequent the change the more the commission from these sources. The facilities they provide are not for free as they claim. The parents are either directly or indirectly paying for these facilities provided. Every school these days whether in metro cities, smaller towns and districts or villages are in a way looking out for ways to get more and more money with the passage of time. Teachers in order to earn money and not be the part of unemployment league which is also the major problem of our society are working for lower wages and the schools are keeping them. They also are then working as per the salary standards, and the level of work done shows the level of input. What all I am trying to talk to you about here is only 10 % of the major platform. It’s my humble request to all that please pay attention to this that what is more important in the long run. THE INFRASTRUSTURE OF THE SCHOOL OR YOUR KID’S LIFE? Stand together against this commercialization and your will definitely see the rise in the level of education not the brightness of the school from outside. Uniforms are important not to stand out of the crowd but to bring equality. Infrastructure is important but till the time it’s providing basic needs not to create complexes in the society. Competition is good till the time it’s healthy and fruitful not to humiliate others. Stop this.! And put a barrier against the ill feelings and lack of values and knowledge of books only which we are mainly inculcating in our children.
