Aliyah: What Is Lacking In Indian Education System?

The education systems in India and the US differ where rules and regulations are concerned apart from the overall approach towards learning. What greatly surprised me in the US was how every child's wishes and dreams are respected and he or she is encouraged at every step to realise a vision that will eventually lead to the emergence of our next-generation leaders. Indian schools' main focus is to stereotype students according to the jobs in the industry.

Right from the first year of high school, students entering the ninth grade are allowed to choose a stream of study and/or a specific subject which will decide electives throughout high school. In the US, students are also encouraged to participate in activities outside school like photography and dancing. They also have access to after-school clubs and organisations uniting students with common interests.

In India traditional methods ensure that students avoid distractions, and focus on studies. But, on the other hand, Maths, Science and engineering are unnecessarily stressed upon, leading to a low morale in some students especially when individual aspirations are ignored. On the positive side, India has produced innumerable scientists, engineers, CEOs and mathematicians who are now successful all over the world due to the country’s high standards of learning.

In Indian schools, ranks in class and grades are announced, which often has a negative impact on some students, who may not be the best. In US schools, grades are always kept private.

US schools look after the hygiene factor as well as convenience for students. All students are divided into groups for lunch and eat in a friendly atmosphere in the cafeteria.

Restrooms are cleaned regularly, and classrooms are air-conditioned. Moreover, only students living within a specific radius of a given school get admission to make travelling less of a hassle for parents and students.

Perhaps the most noticeable difference between schools in the two countries is the independence allowed in the US. There is no uniform. Instead, students may wear whatever they choose, as long as they adhere to a certain dress code. I feel, schools in India and US have their own priorities and regulations, but both follow excellent regimes to educate children to the best of their abilities.

The main thing which is lacking in Indian Education System is the pressure from parents and teachers on the students.some students are forced to take science stream instead of commerce or humanities because of society thinking as they thinks that toppers take science,average take commerce and below average take humanities because of this reason many times student being under pressure do not succeed in their life and choose the path decided by their parents in which they are not interested,

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
