Educating next generations is a continuous process. Ancestors
may have taught their next generations how to sustain in caves and live. The present
day educational system designed nearly 100 yrs back with the development of new
technologies on that day. As the technological development progresses, the
needs of the societies changed, so that what is taught in the classrooms. As the populations sustained, to satisfy the
needs of growing needs and their demands, the education system modified to
educate generations to provide the required services. And many intellectual
minds by understanding the principles behind the technology ‘improved’ old tech systems into more efficient
one, either it is a automobile or a aircraft.
Today the circumstances have changed. By making efficient
systems the resources will not sustain and conservation methods provide only extensions
but not the existence. In addition to food and water, energy became a basic
need of the societies. Almost half the populations do not have the needed resources,
and the demands are increasing. To provide
comfortable lives, if not a superb lives, the immediate need is ‘innovations’
but not the ‘improvements’. For generations, at least in the last 40 to 30 yrs,
the education system designed to produce majority of knowledge holders but not
the innovators. I am not saying there are no innovations, except few areas,
many are improved versions of existed technology, from room size to palm size
or wriest size systems.
Education system became so much ritualistic, those who are
able to remember and reproduce are considers as a great knowledge holders. Of course,
it was the need, did it with all efforts, and it produced a great results.
We have to remember that nothing came from heavens. It has
taken at least few decades but not years, to create an efficient methods and it
is true in future too.
The only solution is to educate the next generations with
concepts with in-depth knowledge of natural principles, not the ritualistic repeaters
or knowledge carriers, but knowledge creators and accelerators.
Modernising the schools with present trend and method will
not create new direction but a comfortable schooling.
It is time for all intellectuals, industrial houses to
contribute for the development of a new education system- starting from classroom
practices, learning methods, in turn teacher training, textbook preparation, and
evaluation process, so that every place come up with their own methods of
developments.
When there are no contacts, how those old non-technical
societies created pyramids all over the globe. History is not telling us about the past, but
its presence and future too.
What do you like to say? Am i shrinking in a paradigm.
