Education should empower a person to earn a livelihood and work as a
productive and responsible member of the society. Education is to know
oneself, understand the inbuilt potential and believe in themselves. Our
country needs pro-active leaders who are sensitive and have a deep-rooted
responsibility towards themselves, their family, their society and their
profession.
Our education system should suffice the need of understanding the text as
well as instill in the children the inquisitiveness to ask 'Why’! We understand
that if their 'Why' is clarified, then 'how' can be easily achieved. It is very
essential that the education which the students receive up to senior secondary
level should give them the ability to face the challenges, accept criticism, and
not get disheartened with defeat, rather take it as a lesson for life. Education
should give them a clear mind and a clear vision, ability to think and act
without any ambiguity, teach them not to be dependent on others, rather take
the lead and be in the front. Every child should have gratitude. He/She should
be able to understand the cause-and-effect relationship of his/her actions and
must be able to behave with responsibility and sensitivity. As far as my
experience is concerned, if all this is achieved in the process of imparting
education, there can be no barrier in the way of success of any child.
