Indian Education System.

We've all been through the same education system, i.e., the State Boards or the Central Board of Indian Education. What I've noticed, all it does is to make us an excellent learning machine, but not much of a good thinker. Throughout our curriculum, all we have been told is to pass the exam in order to proceed to the next grade. But no weightage was given to test the ability or capability of the student to apply the same in day to day or even in practical lives. That's one of the main reasons for unemployment, and to be more clear, the problem of increasing educated unemployment. That is because this system has trained everyone to mug up words and write the same on a piece of paper, but it didn't teach the students about how will learning this may help them in their future or in their careers. And a few of the ones who are able to learn this thing by themselves, end up excelling in life whereas the ones who aren't able to do so, keep on struggling.
 
I think that these education systems can include extra-curriculum which can allow us to think and have that practical experience we need in our life. Also, there are many schools which are either affiliated to the state board or central board which allow students to think out of the box while teaching the courses designed by the boards. In India, we need more schools like these which not only teach the courses but also teach them in a way that the students can gain practical experience when they start thinking outside the job. Which I think is proving a lot of work on the college teachers who go a little extra way to start having students think outside the box. Schools are a place that can help students learn and think outside the box because once they are in college, students can have the internships they dream about and land a good job in the company they want to go.

Exactly what I meant. That those schools, which focus of developing the skillset of the students, which will be required in the main career phase of their lives, are really acute in number and often not affordable too, except for the elite part of the population. On the other hand, I agree about the presence of the co-curricular activities, but a lot more than often, those activities are nothing but source of "weekly in-house entertainment" of the students. Those rarely prove to be contributing to the development or growth of the required skillsets.
