The greatest problem of the modern education system is that it doesn’t focus on systematically preparing students for many aspects of the real challenge out there: Life itself.

  1. Śrīla Prabhupāda: But there must be some form of education, and spiritual education is the most important. The only business of human life is to learn about God.

  2. Hi, If you got education from any institute, It should be equal to years of (school, college, university study, this time I will say "Science study"). So any study from institute should equal to science study. mean degree should make equal, so we can say lik 16 years or 18 years of education (for example).
    and If anyone studied at home, for get degree, it should give test, private test or private papers, then he, she or it can get degree.

    According to whole world, should make system lik who have as knowledge, as it deserve degree. according to year set. whatever lik person, mean, by knowledge, by general knowledge, by passion knowledge, by funny knowledge, by religion knowledge, by science study knowledge, any type of knowledge. person is deserved degree of that knowledgeand calculate by years (for example: 1 year knowledge, 7 years knowledge, 14 years knowledge. etc). by this more easy to describe itself for person.

    It will very beneficial for world.

  3. Probably the fundamental concept surrounding Capitalism for most kids would be sales. I have a product and I want to earn money and so I put up the product for sale. Let's say I am at a Parade and I buy 24 cans of coke for whatever the case costs. I put the product in ice (unless I live in Germany) and walk up and down the parade route selling each can for $1.25. As to Education, I worked hard in school but had a laissez-faire attitude. You hope something you do as a child materializes into something of importance. There are people who simply focus on my mistakes. Look here or there, she says, and you made a tiny mistake here or a tiny mistake there or you didn't make a mistake at all but we are just harassing you to make you feel submissive and vulnerable. I was just reading about a kid who was in the Final Four Basketball Tournament a couple of weekends ago and when he was young he apparently was not even recruited. Not all of us will be or become salesmen or professional athletes, but surely if you work at a variety of activities then one or some of them will benefit you. I cannot believe a person would do everything wrong. Education is for a lot of things and your former High School will be happy to see you return if you succeed in Business, Basketball or whatever. And a lot of us simply don't get that excited about anything and probably there is nothing wrong with this either. Parents and family pushing me were probably as important in my childhood as anything education did… and I am not complaining about teachers. I came to a crossroad in my own education where I needed to earn money and earn a living. School led me down a wrong path in my opinion and I felt a need to get out and work. I guess we all have to trust ourselves but the very simple relationship between an individual needing money and working for it makes sense.

  4. Education has been politicised. This is my honest opinion… Students have been converted to money fetchers instead of being imparted knowledge to be the light at the end of the tunnel.

    However, education can be made to be enjoyable, exciting and fun by allowing each individual to explore their own minds. Not only teaching them syllabus related knowledge but also exploring theri skills and talents outside classroom. Learning should include both parents and teachers also, and that's how we will be educated together.

  5. I feel when the students are going to school, they gain knowledge through the new curriculum because the teacher have enough knowledge to impart to students,,they will be aware about the important of maintaining good relationship, good health through many activities show by their teachers
    The teacher teach the young students to have their own self study and carrier and to create market to improve their business,The new curriculum improve education system and enable the students to deal with challenges and maintain good health and sustaining good relationship

  6. I feel like education is one of the best thing to have in life.
    I in a very good way accept the scope of the education but the only problem is that after education you come out with zero market value
