Stop Manufacturing Students

Beginning with the current education system, nature has been deserted by technology. The universe is overflowing with discoveries and they aren't discovered in a space with four walls around you but are discovered by studying the atmosphere and looking at objects around you take the concept of an airplane as an example, it was taken from a bird's flight, and the concept of a train engine was made of boiling water.

Textbook learning prevents students from learning by nature, sometimes promoting the wrong way of teaching, which is portrayed as more important than actually understanding concepts. The processing of book information complicates the mind of the student, which further complicates the issues for an already extremely confused student.

The existing educational framework sets a paper of the same kind for various kinds of students, one who may be good in English and one who may be good in mathematics. It is as if you are telling a fish to climb up a tree and a monkey to swim in the water.

Current generation teaching is all about how much a student can memorize, it is not about intellect, rather checking the child's memory. If the student has an opportunity to copy and pasting information, it'll only be beneficial for the short term. It will gain them the marks they require. But it will be a preferred scenario if the student uses their intellect to address the question.

It looks like the exams are conducted for testing the memorizing power of a student and not the understanding. Therefore, I want to ask people from all over the world to start abstracting and stop retaining information.


Retaining is a short-term understanding whereas abstraction is a long-term understanding.
