How I Want Education To Be

 “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” 

Education is the root of a dazzling future. Knowledge is the path to acquire the insight of the progressive development. It helps a person to rise on his own feet and make a better tomorrow for not only himself but also for other individuals as well.

Learning has been regarded a basic necessity for humans since a very long time. Students yearn to learn and prosper. Earlier, students used to sit in grounds and study. The teachers would give lectures and impart education to their pupils. But today, students sit in ventilated classrooms and receive knowledge. Even, after this modification, still there is a same reaction in the students. They don’t really enjoy studying in the classroom all day since they cannot absorb so much knowledge every day. Students require some stress busters to make themselves more comfortable with learning. These may include classes that are more creative and involve discussions rather than only lectures. For example, art class, music classes, debates, moral education and other activities.  These may lead to a broader vision of students and a new level from which students are going to view the world.

Education, if seen, not as a compulsory task, but a mode of making a child ready to face what is waiting out there, will undoubtedly create more curiosity and attentiveness resulting in strategic and well-planned tomorrow. Students’ capabilities do not lie marks, it is determined by how a child responds when they have to face the real world.
