为什么印度的教育系统如此愚蠢?

I'm doing my 10th grade boards this year. Every day I feel so useless "studying". I know this pointless trash we "learn" is NEVER gonna help me. By now you probably think I'm an ungrateful ignorant time-waster. But trust me, I have my reasons.
1. 95% of the textbooks are outdated. This is the least of the problems. I mean, our Geography textbook was printed in 2001. Who the F wastes their time like, memorizing the literacy rate of Bihar in 2001? (A state which I have absolutely no connection with, by the way) Our computer book is still stuck 8 0r 9 years back, when Windows 7 first came out. And the most important one-Economics? Guess what. Still 2001!
CBSE (the "central board of secondary so-called education") needs to get off their lazy asses and upxe our books. How can they expect their country to progress while innocent students cram their brains with outdated facts that are 105% useless?

今年我将参加十年级考试(中学毕业考试)。每天我都觉得“学习”很没用。我深知我们所‘学习’的这些无用知识在我未来的生活中根本不会有任何帮助。你可能会觉得我是一个忘恩负义、无知且浪费时间的人,但我这么说是有原因的。
教科书上95%的内容都已经过时,这还是最小的问题。比如说,我们的地理课本是2001年印刷的。谁会去浪费时间记忆2001年比哈尔邦的识字率呢?顺便说一下,我与那个邦没有任何联系。我们的计算机课本还停留在8、9年前,当时Windows 7刚推出。最关键的经济学课本呢?猜猜看,依旧是2001年的版本!
所谓的‘中等教育中央委员会’(CBSE)应该停止懒惰,更新我们的教科书。学生们却被迫记忆那些完全过时、毫无用处的信息,他们怎么能期待国家进步了。

2. Language problem!! These days, parents want "modern, sophisticated, Western" education for their kids. In other words, an English medium school. But it's a waste of time. Teacher's can't speak fluently, yet they are forced to teach in English. As a result, their students also pick up the same, horrible broken English. (when they're in preschool usually)
Fast forward a few years later to maybe, 3rd grade. The same teachers teach in their hopeless language they call "English" to fool the unsuspecting parents. The kids can't understand or connect with the subject they're learning. So in 80% of all families, the kid comes home, only to have their mommies reteach the entire syllabus in their native tongue. WHICH DEFEATS THE ENTIRE POINT OF GOING TO SCHOOL.
Either the British shouldn't have come at all, or they should have left 100 years later after Indians actually LEARNED English.

语言问题!现在,父母希望他们的孩子接受‘现代、精致、西方’的教育,换言之,就是英语授课的学校。但这完全是浪费时间。老师们英语说得并不流利,却被迫用英语教学。结果,学生们也学到了同样的蹩脚英语(通常是在幼儿园时)。
几年后,到了三年级左右,同样的老师们用他们那种所谓的‘英语’教学,欺骗那些毫无戒心的父母。孩子们无法理解或无法与他们所学的科目建立联系。因此,在80%的家庭中,孩子们回家后,只能依靠他们的母亲用母语重新教授整个课程大纲。这完全违背了上学的初衷。
要么英国人根本就不应该来到印度,要么他们应该在印度人真正学会英语的100年后离开。

3. Absolutely NO application.
Memorize. Reproduce on paper. Forget. Repeat.
There is absolutely no common sense involved in this entire process. What's sad is even the teachers encourage it.
But along the way, a few years ago, some fantastic person at CBSE had an idea- the PSA: Problem-solving assessment. It's a test that's supposed to measure the actual intelligence of a student. It requires NO preparation. No stress at all. No more brainless memorization. Kinda like an IQ test. I got really excited.
I was shocked when the results came out- The "class topper" barely managed a 7 (out of 10). Other scores were ranging around 4-6.
These were the exact same people who could score 98% in the "real"exams.
Meanwhile, I got a 9, but I didn't do that great in the "real" exams (because I just can't memorize like the others!). So in the end, who got more praise? Not me!!
Long story short, Nobody cares about you if you can't memorize pointless facts and reproduce them in an exam.

完全没有得到实际应用。
记忆,复述在纸上,然后忘记,如此循环。
在这个过程中,完全没有包含任何常识。更可悲的是,即使是老师们也在鼓励这种行为。
但就在几年前,CBSE的某位杰出人物提出了一个想法——解决问题的评估(PSA)。这是一种旨在测量学生真正智力的测试,不需要任何准备,没有任何压力,不再需要无脑记忆,有点像智商测试,我对此感到非常兴奋。
当成绩出来时,我震惊了——那些‘班级第一名’的学生在这项测试中只能勉强得到7分(满分10分)。其他学生的分数大多在4到6分之间。
这正是那些在‘真正’的考试中能够轻松拿到98%高分的同一批人。
与此同时,我在这项测试中得了9分,但在‘真正’的考试中我并没有表现得那么好(因为我就是无法像其他人那样记住内容!)。所以最终,谁得到了更多的赞扬?不是我!
长话短说,如果你不能记住那些毫无意义的事实并在考试中复述它们,那么没有人会在乎你。

4. It's gotten to the point that the PARENTS care more than their kids.
I remember when I was a little kid in the US. (I lived there until 6th grade)
Whenever I had homework or a project, I tried to do it myself and never asked my parents to do it for me.. I remember designing an entire cookbook (in 5th grade), writing a 50-page story (in 4th grade) and also making this poster for Martin Luther King day. I only had some help and I did 80% of these things on my own. And I had fun, too. The American system is set up for independent learning, creative thinking and just general involvement of students. Not saying American education is godly or superior to everything in this world. But compared to the situation in India....

情况已经发展到了父母比孩子们更加关注学业的地步。
我记得我还是个小孩的时候(我在美国读到六年级)。
每当我需要完成作业或课题,我总是自己努力去做,从不要求父母代劳。我记得我设计了一本完整的食谱(五年级),写了一个50页的故事(四年级),还制作了一张马丁·路德·金纪念日的海报。我基本上独立完成了这些任务的80%,并且我也乐在其中。美国的教育体系旨在培养学生的独立学习能力、创造性思维,学生都积极参与。我并不是说美国的教育系统就是完美无瑕或者是这个世界上无与伦比的;但是与印度的情况相比……

PARENTS DO ALMOST ALL THE WORK HERE.
But it's not the kids' fault at all! The problem is with (you guessed it!) the SYSTEM. They:
1. Don't teach kids to be independent.
2. Assign such hard projects that the parent has no choice but to do it themselves. In my school, the FIRST GRADERS had to make a chart on World Education Day. Do you even expect them to KNOW what that is, let alone make a CHART??? Poor babies just be learnin their ABC's!
3. So this becomes a habit.
4. Before you know it, the parent is even writing ESSAYS for their kid to memorize and copy into their notebooks.
5. You might wonder, "Why do they do this?" It's because the insensitive teachers lower the kids' grades if everything ain't up to their standards. They don't care if the student or parent did the work.
If grades be lowered, parents be embarrassed. Parents be embarrassed, the whole extended family (and the neighbors!) be bitchin'. Ya know, classic Indian style. In other words, the whole Indian subcontinent will poke its nose into YOUR KID'S GRADES.

在这里,几乎所有的工作都是父母代劳的。
但这绝对不是孩子们的过错!问题在于(你猜对了)体系。体系:
没有教会孩子们独立。
分配了难度过高的课题,导致父母不得不亲自动手。在我的学校,连一年级的小朋友都要为世界教育日制作图表。你真的期望他们能理解这是什么,更不用说制作一张图表了?可怜的孩子们,他们还是在学习基础知识呢!
因此,这变成了一种习惯。
不知不觉中,父母甚至开始为孩子写作文,让孩子背诵并抄写到笔记本上。
你可能会好奇,“他们为什么要这样做?”这是因为,如果一切不符合老师的高标准,老师就会无情地降低孩子们的分数——他们不在乎工作是学生还是家长完成。 如果分数下降了,父母会感到尴尬。父母感到尴尬,整个大家庭(甚至是邻居们!)都会开始抱怨。你知道的,这是典型的印度风格。换句话说,整个印度次大陆都会对你的孩子的分数品头论足。

6. This creates a HUGE cycle that won't end as long as Indians are in charge of education. In the wise words of Taylor Swift, this shit ain't never, ever ever getting back together. Like, ever.
5. Classwork.
The most horrible shit to ever grace this planet. Sorry, my swearing is getting out of control. But as I write this, next to my laptop is 29 pages of QUESTION-ANSWERS I have to copy before tomorrow. What do I do after copying it? Get it corrected, put it in my room, and forget about it. I don't even use it for the exams!
That's it. We just copy endless paragraphs from a guide book. We don't even TRY to write answers on our own. Here's the worst part: If we DO write the answers on our own, we get yelled at. Because it's SOOOOO hard for the teachers to READ our answers, decide if they're right or wrong, and then sign our notebooks. I think the right word is LAZY.
I know for a fact that classwork is the very thing that is destroying our education. until 8th grade and until 12th grade,
all the questions you get are from the "classwork", a set of questions and answers you have to copy and learn. All you have to do is memorize it, and voila! 100% in your exams! There are NO questions that test your understanding of the lessons.

这形成了一个大循环,只要印度人掌控教育,这个循环就不会结束。用泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)的名言来说,这段恋情永远、永远、永远都不会复合了。。就像,永远不可能。
课业;
这简直是地球上最糟糕的事情。抱歉,我的措辞有些失控。但当我写下这些文字时,旁边就有29页的问答,我必须在明天之前抄完。我抄写完毕后该怎么办?校对一下,放进我的房间,然后忘掉它。我甚至在考试中都不会用到它!
就是这样,我们只是没完没了地抄写指导书中的段落。我们甚至不尝试自己写答案。最糟糕的部分是:如果我们真的自己写答案,反而会受到斥责。因为对于老师来说,阅读我们的答案,判断它们是否正确,然后再在我们的笔记本上签字,实在是太麻烦了。我认为更合适的词是懒惰。
我确切地知道,课业正是破坏我们教育体系的罪魁祸首。直到8年级、直到12年级都是如此。
你所得到的所有考试题目都来自“课业”,这是一套你必须抄写和学习的问题和答案。你所要做的只是记住它们,然后——瞧!你在考试中就能得到满分!没有任何问题会测试你对课程内容的理解程度。

I'm a 12 year old, I know that I'm too young to give this opinion, but I will still share what I think
So, first thing about indian education system that I hate is that, you don't get to learn the things that are beneficial for your future, instead you learn those poems and all those craps which makes literary no sense, the second thing is that you don't have freedom to write your own notes, (atleast in our school) students are not allowed to write their own notes, they have to byheart and learn what their teacher has given or written, Now the thing that I want in our education system, first thing would be that students should have a right to choose what subjects they want to study, like I live in Mumbai and here there is an additional language included which is Marathi compulsory for all students', whether you are a Maharashtrian or a non-maharashtraian, you have to learn it, which totally sucks, that's all what I want, cause the other things that should be implemented aren't potentially possible.

我今年12岁,我知道我还太年轻,可能不适合发表这样的意见,但我还是想分享我的想法。
首先,我最讨厌印度教育系统的一点是,你学不到对未来真正有用的东西,学习的是那些诗歌和其他一些毫无意义的内容。第二,我们没有记自己的笔记的自由,至少我们学校是这样,学生不被允许自己记笔记,他们只能背诵和学习老师提供的内容。现在,我所希望的教育系统是,首先,学生应该有权利选择他们想要学习的科目。比如我住在孟买,这里强制所有学生,不管你是不是马哈拉施特拉邦的人,都必须学习马拉地语,这真的很糟糕。这就是我所希望改变的,因为其他应该实施的改变目前看来不太可能实现。

Indian Education system do not focus on quality ,rather it focuses on quantity .That is why you will see a large number of unemployed ,searching for mediocre jobs specially government jobs .Our education system does not teaches us
how to deal with anger ,
how to improve communication skills
how to become religious ,
how to help others ,
how to live a simple life
how to start your own business.
how to work according to your passion and many more important aspects of life ..
My advice to all indian students in schools and colleges who are reading my answer is to become self aware of your future and do not depend on their education system .

印度的教育系统并不注重质量,而是注重数量。这就是为什么你会看到大量失业者,寻找平庸的工作,特别是政府工作。我们的教育系统并没有教会我们如何管理愤怒、如何提升沟通技巧、如何培养宗教信仰、如何帮助他人、如何过上简朴的生活、如何自主创业,以及如何根据个人的热情来工作等生活中许多重要的方面。
我对所有正在阅读这个答案的印度学生,无论就读中学还是大学,我的建议是:要对自己的未来有所认识,不要完全依赖于现有的教育体系。

Vaman Kulkarni
Former Retired Professor of Physics at University of Mumbai (1984–2005)1y
All education institutes have coaching classes. Teaching standard is below par. All courses have job oriented in the process research side lined. Openly vice chancellors say, “ stop doing research and concentrate in teaching.” This is also supported by national level research institutes. These institutes are more interested in creating job oriented students.

孟买大学前物理退休教授(1984–2005)
所有的教育机构都开设辅导班。教学质量不达标,所有课程都以就业为导向,研究方面被边缘化。校长们公开表示:“停止研究,专注于教学。”这同样得到了国家级研究机构的支持。这些机构更倾向于培养以就业为导向的学生。

Manan Kumar Garg
Why Indian education system is so dumb ?
Everything that is not used or applied for a long time loses it's original capability and this is exactly the case with all the upcoming brains of the country. Whenever a child asks a relevant question in his classroom, many (not all) teachers have the same reply, "do not apply your brain you fool, just do as I say", and hearing this harsh statement, as the child at that tender age cannot decipher between right and wrong, he actually starts following the moronic orders of his teacher gradually, disrupting all the mechanisms of his mind,taking away the questioning capacity as well as the thinking one.
Now, as the child has lost all his mental capabilities and as any of his talent was not at all nurtured, when he grows up, he finally realises that what all he has learnt in his school life is a complete zero and now he will have to just find a job and start earning exactly like the people, watching whom in his school days he thought of them as some morons.
The aim of education is to teach a child 'how to think' instead of 'what to think' but our education system, instead of both of the above, just tells us 'what to study' because it is our society which even now, has not drawn a line between academics and education and thinks of them as one.
What we need in our system are the new teachers who actually want to provide EDUCATION to the children of our nation unlike many of the present teachers who are also the ones who just come to earn some amount because they have to run their families.
In the end, what I would like to say is that now, we have to increase the scope of all types of knowledge in our system, be it in music, academics or any other field and that is the only way in which we can finally just make our education system the best in the world removing all the dumbness from it.

为什么印度的教育体系如此落后?
任何长时间不使用或应用的东西都会失去其原有的能力,这正是我们国家许多新兴人才的现状。每当孩子在课堂上问相关问题时,许多(不是所有)老师都有同样的回答:“傻瓜,别动脑筋,照我说的做就行了”。听到这样严厉的话,由于那个年龄段的孩子无法分辨对错,他实际上开始逐渐遵循老师的愚蠢指令,破坏了他所有的思维机制,丧失了提问和思考的能力。
现在,随着孩子们失去了所有的心智能力,他们的天赋也没有得到培养,当他们长大后,他们最终意识到他们在学校学到的东西完全没有价值,现在他们必须像他们在学校时所轻视的那些人一样,找到一份工作并开始挣钱。
教育的目的应该是教会孩子‘如何思考’,而不是‘该思考什么’,但我们的教育体系却没有做到这一点,它只是告诉我们‘该学什么’,因为我们的社会至今还没有在学术和教育之间划清界限,并将它们视为相同的东西。
我们的体系需要的是那些真正想要为我们国家的孩子提供教育的新老师,而不是那些仅仅为了挣钱养家而工作的现有的老师。
最后,我想说,现在我们必须扩大我们系统中所有类型知识的范围,无论是音乐、学术还是任何其他领域,这是我们能够最终使我们的教育系统成为世界最佳,去除所有陈旧观念的唯一途径。

Rakesh Mehrotra
It is correct that true purpose of education has remained unaddressed. It is largely purposeless as it is neither serves to prepare adequately for jobs nor does it have rigour for intellectual development.
Our education system is producing non thinking pygmies. It is a shame that intellectuals have little or no contribution in post independent India. Our Colleges and Universities are just Low quality degree producing factories.

教育的真正目的没有得到解决,这是正确的认知。它在很大程度上是没有达成目的的,因为它既不能为就业做好充分的准备,也不能促进智力发展。
我们的教育体系正在培养没有思想的俾格米人。令人遗憾的是,在独立后的印度,知识分子几乎没有贡献,我们的学院和大学只是低质量的学位生产工厂。

Why Indian education system is so dumb ?
Indian education was never dumb, deaf or mute.
Before mughals came our education was better. Britishers wanted to control the India, they developed a system under Lord Macaulay. Just simple rote learning to produce clerical workers. When congress came to power they continued the same thing.
If our education system, we would not have IIT's, IIM's. I have seen pupils from areas with non-existent schools to excel. Our folks who have gone out of country have flourished, all are not well qualified.
Today if you remove rote learning and let the minds open even dogs and cats can fly.
To conclude, I would like to give example of three monkeys of M K Gandhi (He was not Mahatma or Parliament has not conferred him anny status as such).
Out of three monkeys, two others can see.
Out of three monkeys, two others can hear.
Out of three monkeys, two others can talk.

为什么印度的教育体系如此愚蠢?
实际上,印度的教育体系并不愚笨、不聋也不哑。
在莫卧儿王朝到来之前,我们的教育体系更优越。英国人为了控制印度,根据麦克考利勋爵的指导思想发展了一套教育体系,仅仅是基础的死记硬背,目的是培养文书工作人才。国大党上台后,继续沿用了这一体系。
如果我们的教育体系真的一无是处,就不会有印度理工学院(IITs)和印度管理学院(IIMs)这样的学府。我见过即使是那些来自几乎没有学校的地区,学生们也能取得杰出成绩。那些出国的同胞们也取得了成功,他们并非都拥有显赫的学历。
今天,如果摒弃了机械记忆的学习方式,放开思维,甚至狗和猫都能展翅高飞。
最后,我想引用圣雄甘地的三只猴子的例子(尽管他并非官方封圣,议会也没有赋予他任何正式的称号)。
在这三只猴子中,有两只能够看见。
在这三只猴子中,有两只能够听见。
在这三只猴子中,有两只能够说话。
