Vice President Naidu urges all to address challenges in education

In an appeal to students and teachersтАЩ community, Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu urged them to come forward and address the challenges in education, stating a need to turn the system around, including aspects of curriculum and evaluation.

тАЬToday, we have enormous challenges in education.┬а We are talking about the demographic dividend from a greater percentage of young people who will be crucial to the nationтАЩs progress in the next twenty years. But how can we really equip the young people тАУ which includes the young students тАУ to contribute in the best way,тАЭ the vice president asked, adding, тАЬIt can be possible only if we turn our system around, including aspects of curriculum and evaluation, towards critical thinking rather than borrowing.тАЭ

The comments were made in his address during the dressing the 67th Annual Convocation of Punjab University in Chandigarh on 4th February 2018, where he also expressed that an education that does not help the common mass to equip themselves for life is not real education.

тАЬThe education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for life, which does not bring out the strength of character, spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion тАУ is it worth the name,тАЭ asked the vice president.

He further said that a degree in education doesnтАЩt really contribute to the quality of life, if educated people, especially women, do not speak up for their rights.

тАЬIf we have degrees, and have a way of life which indulges in blind consumerism or outdated social practices, we will have lost the benefit of our education,тАЭ he said, adding, тАЬIf educated people, especially women, donтАЩt speak up for their rights, tolerate or even practice injustices such as female foeticide and violence, then the degree has not really contributed to their quality of life.тАЭ

The vice president said that the real education is not for working like machines merely, and living a jellyfish existence.

тАЬReal education is not for working like machines merely, and living a jellyfish existence,тАЭ the vice president said, adding, тАЬWithin one there is all knowledge, even in a child it is so, and it requires only an awakening, and that much is the role of a teacher.тАЭ

The vice president said that a true university must be free from the constriction of thoughts or imposition of ideologies.

тАЬA true university must be free from constriction of thoughts or imposition of ideologies. Rigid conformity to particular beliefs or constraints on thinking is anathema to the spirit of academic freedom,тАЭ he said, adding, тАЬIf a person is allowed to think and work in his field without any need to restrict his ideas, he is well on the way to making tremendous headway in that field, and this is what is provided by the free university in a democratic country.тАЭ
