Indian Education System: What needs to change?

INDIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM:
WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE....?

   Education has been a problem in our
country and lack of it has been blamed
for all sorts of evil for hundreds of years.
Even Rabindranath Tagore wrote lengthy
articles about how Indian education
system needs to change. Funny thing is
that from the colonial times, few things
have changed. We have established IITs,
IIMs, law schools and other institutions of
excellence; students now routinely score
90% marks so that even students with 90+
percentage find it difficult to get into the
colleges of their choice; but we do more
of the same old stuff.
         
          Creating a few more schools or allowing
hundreds of colleges and private
universities to mushroom is not going to
solve the crisis of education in India. And
a crisis it is – we are in a country where
people are spending their parent’s life
savings and borrowed money on
education – and even then not getting
standard education, and struggling to find
employment of their choice. In this
country, millions of students are victim of
an unrealistic, pointless, mindless rat
race. The mind numbing competition and
rote learning do not only crush the
creativity and originality of millions of
Indian students every year, it also drives
brilliant students to commit suicide.
 
      What should change in India education
system? What needs to be fixed at the
earliest? Here is my wish list:
    

1. Focus on skill based
education
   
    Our education system is geared towards
teaching and testing knowledge at every
level as opposed to teaching skills. “Give a
man a fish and you feed him one day,
teach him how to catch fishes and you
feed him for a lifetime.” I believe that if
you teach a man a skill, you enable him
for a lifetime. Knowledge is largely
forgotten after the semester exam is over.
Still, year after year Indian students focus
on cramming information. The best
crammers are rewarded by the system.
This is one of the fundamental flaws of
our education system.

2. Reward creativity, original
thinking, research and
innovation
   
     Our education system rarely rewards
what deserves highest academic
accolades. Deviance is discouraged. Risk
taking is mocked. Our testing and
marking systems need to be built to
recognize original contributions, in form
of creativity, problem solving, valuable
original research and innovation. If we
could do this successfully Indian
education system would have changed
overnight.
Memorising is no learning; the biggest
flaw in our education system is perhaps
that it incentivizes memorizing above
originality.

3. Get smarter people to teach

      For way too long teaching became the
sanctuary of the incompetent. Teaching
jobs are until today widely regarded as
safe, well-paying, risk-free and low-
pressure jobs. Once a teacher told me in
high school “Well, if you guys don’t study
it is entirely your loss – I will get my
salary at the end of the month anyway.”
He could not put across the lack of
incentive for being good at teaching any
better. Thousands of terrible teachers all
over India are wasting valuable time of
young children every day all over India.

4. Education for all possibility

  The performance of a teacher
now need not be restricted to a small
classroom. Now the performance of a
teacher can be opened up for the world
to see. The better teacher will be more
popular, and acquire more students.
That’s the way of the future.We need leaders, entrepreneurs in teaching positions, not salaried people trying to hold on to their mantle.
 
5. Implement massive
technology infrastructure
for education

    India needs to embrace internet and
technology if it has to teach all of its huge population, the majority of which is
located in remote villages. Now that we
have computers and internet, it makes
sense to invest in technological
infrastructure that will make access to
knowledge easier than ever. Instead of
focussing on outdated models of brick and mortar colleges and universities, we need to create educational delivery
mechanisms that can actually take the
wealth of human knowledge to the
masses. The tools for this dissemination
will be cheap smartphones, tablets and
computers with high speed internet
connection. While all these are becoming
more possible than ever before, there is
lot of innovation yet to take place in this
space.

6. Re-define the purpose of the
education system
    
     Our education system is still a colonial
education system geared towards
generating babus and pen-pushers under
the newly acquired skin of modernity. We
may have the most number of
engineering graduates in the world, but
that certainly has not translated into
much technological innovation here.
Rather, we are busy running the call
centres of the rest of the world – that is
where our engineering skills end.
The goal of our new education system
should be to create entrepreneurs,
innovators, artists, scientists, thinkers
and writers who can establish the
foundation of a knowledge based
economy rather than the low-quality
service provider nation that we are
turning into.

7. Personalize education – one
size does not fit all
  
     Assembly line education prepares
assembly line workers. However, the drift of economic world is away from assembly line production. Indian education system is built on the presumption that if something is good for one kid, it is good for all kids.
Some kids learn faster, some are
comparatively slow. Some people are
visual learners, others are auditory
learners, and still some others learn
faster from experience. If one massive monolithic education system has to provide education to everyone, then there is no option but to assume that one size fits all.

8. Make reservation irrelevant

  We have reservation in education today
because education is not available
universally. Education has to be rationed.
This is not a long –term solution. If we
want to emerge as a country build on a
knowledge economy, driven by highly
educated people – we need to make goodeducation so universally available thatreservation will lose its meaning.
There is noreservation
in online education– because it scales. Today top universities worldwide are taking various courses online, and today you can easily attend a live class taught by a top professor of Harvard University online if you want, no matter which country is belong to. This is the future, this is the easy way to beat reservation and make it inconsequential. What are the most important changes
you want to see in the India education
system? Share your ideas....@ vijithvndd@gmail.com.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ (NLP™) is
defined as the study of the structure of
subjective experience and what can be
calculated from that and is predicated upon
the belief that all behaviour has structure. Richard Bandler built formal
models of NLP. He then applied these models to
his work.
Because these models are formal they also
allow for prediction and calculation.
Patterns that may not have been available in
any of these people's work could be
calculated from the formal representations
he had created. New techniques and models
were (and still are being) developed.
Since the models that constitute NLP™
describe how the human brain functions
they are used in order to teach them.

            NLP™is not a diagnostic tool. It can only be
applied and can therefore only be taught
experientially.
Well trained Neuro-Linguistic
Programmers™ will always teach by
installation, not by teaching technique after
technique. Techniques outdate themselves
too quickly to base the field of NLP™ on a
set of techniques. It is based upon the
attitude, the models and the skills which
allow for constant generation of new
techniques which are more effective and
work faster.
Although many providers make certain
courses prerequisite to the attendance of
other courses, Dr. Bandler has no such
prerequisites for any of his seminars.
Learning does not come in levels. Once the
underlying pattern, by which something can
be learned has been taught, the material
becomes not only easily accessible but a
logical extension. For example, once
somebody has learned how to read it no
longer matters whether a book is five pages
or two-hundred pages long. Similarly, once
someone has been taught the spelling
strategy it does not matter whether the
word is two or five letters long, you just
have to look at the picture. Each seminar is
based upon different sets of knowledge.
Therefore, it is not necessary to do them in
any specific order.

         Each seminar that Dr. Bandler teaches is
different. Once someone has attended one
practitioner course it does not mean that
the practitioner material has been learned
and that person should therefore go to a
different course. You have to remember that
the names and certificates are only names
and certificates not the material nor the
knowledge!

        Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ was
specifically created in order to allow us to
do magic by creating new ways of
understanding how verbal and non-verbal
communication affect the human brain. As
such it presents us all with the opportunity
to not only communicate better with others,
but also learn how to gain more control over
what we considered to be automatic
functions of our own neurology.

Ashoka Chakra - The Tale Of Twenty Four Spokes

The Ashoka Chakra means the 'wheel of
the law'. It is derived from the Sanskrit
word Dharma Chakra, which means wheel.
It has 24 spokes.
The most prominent Indian Mauryan
emperor, called Ashoka the Great, built
the Ashoka Chakra during the 3rd century
BC. The Ashoka Chakra is inscribed widely
among the Lion Capital of Sarnath and the
Ashoka Pillar. The Ashoka Chakra is placed
in the center of the National Flag of the
Republic of India. It was adopted on 22
July, 1947. It is rendered in a navy blue
colour on a white background. In order to
add historical 'depth' and separate the
National Flag from that of the Indian
National Congress(INC) Gandhian spinning
wheel is replaced with the Spokes of
Ashoka Chakra in the center of the Flag.
Ashoka Chakra can also be seen on the
base of Lion Capital of Ashoka which has
been adopted as the National Emblem of
India. The Chakra signifies that there is a
life in 'Movement' and 'Death' in
stagnation. The process of the wheel
stands for cycle or the self repeating
process with the changing of time in our
life. The horse on the Right hand
symbolizing accuracy and speed. The Bull
on the Left hand stands for hard work .
Wonderful Qualities of Twenty Four
Spokes :
1. Love
2.Courage
3.Patience
4.Peacefulness
5.Magnanimity
6.Goodness
7.Faithfulness
8.Gentleness
9.Selflessness
10.Self-control
11.Self sacrifice
12.Truthfulness
13.Righteousness
14.Justice
15.Mercy
16.Gracefulness
17.Humility
18.Empathy
19.Sympathy
20.Spiritual knowledge
21.Moral Values
22.Spiritual Wisdom
23.The fear of God
24.Faith or Believe or Hope
Ashoka Chakra represent the 24 hours of
the nation. Thus it governs all.

     Your Subconscious Mind -

The Real Power
Ever wonder how some people are so
successful? Or how some great inventions
come about? Why are some more wealth
than others.
The answer?
They've tapped into the hidden power of
their subconscious mind and they know how
to work with and apply mind power to get
what they want.
Now they may not do this consciously, but
they do engage their subconscious mind and
get this power to work for them regularly.

Simple Subconscious Mind
Exercises Used by The Most
Successful People

   These breakthrough ideas, new innovations,
great discoveries and wealth building ideas
start with a simple thought. This thought
leads to a belief, that says "I Can..." and that
belief is transmitted to the subconscious
mind. Mind power takes over by connecting
the subconscious with the people, situations
and opportunities that will lead to success.
It all starts with a thought followed by a
belief, which is followed by a clear and
singular focus and desire to achieve a
specific goal. By having this kind of focus,
clarity and vision you begin using mind
power, you begin directing your
subconscious mind to bring you the
answers.
To reap the benefits and success of mind
power and working with your subconscious
mind your thoughts and beliefs have to be
positive. If they're negative, if they say: "I
can't..." then your subconscious mind will
create more difficulty or more confusion.
You'll be using mind power to get more of
what you don't want.
So here's how you can apply mind power
and direct your subconscious mind to create
the success, happiness, wealth and what
ever you want (be realistic of course):
Have a clear and definitive goal. You
have to give your subconscious mind a
clear direction and that means knowing
what you want - and you have to make
this a positive goal. For example: if you
wanted to make more money then
you're goal would be to make more
money - this is positive. A negative
version of this would be to say: I don't
want to lose anymore money or I don't
want anymore debt. You want to make
more money, so be clear and specific
about what you want
Develop positive thoughts and beliefs
to support your goal. This is very
important, without strong positive
thoughts and beliefs your subconscious
mind won't respond and you won't be
able to reap the benefits of working
mind power. By carrying strong,
supportive beliefs, you re-train your
mind and you train the power of your
subconscious mind to attract more
positive situation.
Be consistent and be persistent - You
have to focus on your goals, have
positive thoughts and positive beliefs
every day. You can't just do this once in
a while. Mind power requires that you
form a habit of continually directing
your subconscious mind to create the
outcomes you want. For example: if you
want to meet the right person, you
should think about this person's
qualities and you're positive qualities
every day - so that you think and
believe that you can meet the right
person
Get rid of the negative thinking - No
longer think and believe that you can't.
Negative thoughts lead to negative
beliefs, which create more misery. So
get rid of these negative thoughts as
quickly as possible. If you entertain
more negative thoughts you'll be
directing your subconscious mind to
create more negative situations. You'll
be using your mind power to bring you
more pain.
Take Action - You have to take action
and focus on taking the right action.
Your subconscious mind will bring you
opportunities, you have to explore them
and follow up. You have to be willing to
take action to achieve your desired goal.
You can't just sit around and expect a
pile of money to show up at your door -
you have to take action and believe that
you're taking the right action.
Visualize - Picture yourself getting what
you want and succeeding. Always
believe that you can and will succeed.
Mind power relies on your thoughts,
beliefs and how you see yourself. Make
them all positive and your subconscious
mind will deliver.
Never give up - Most people give up on
their goals just when they're on the
verge of succeeding. You're closer to
succeeding than you realize so keep
striving to achieve the success you want
and keep believing in yourself
These are just some of the things you can
do to get your mind power and your
subconscious working for you.
Once you master your Mind Power, you'll
unleash your subconscious mind power so
that you create the success and fulfillment
you want in life.
We are all born with tremendous power,
that power is in your mind and subconscious
mind.
The most successful and the most wealthy
people in the world have strong, positive
thoughts and beliefs about themselves, their
ability and about what they want. They back
these with a strong desire. Their
subconscious mind picks up on all these
positive messages and simply creates more
opportunities for them to succeed.

Mind Power and You:
Directing Your
Subconscious Mind

   No one ever told you about the power that
you have within you, or they didn't tell you
how to apply and direct this power. You
have tremendous power and that power
starts in your mind and your subconscious
mind.
Mind power is about directing both the mind
and the subconscious mind. What ever the
mind can think of or dream of, the
subconscious mind can create. You just have
to give your subconscious the right
instructions and correctly use mind power to
achieve the success you want.

//GOOD LUCK//

How to recall dreams

Theories abound as to why we dream, how we dream, and what meaning we can assign to our dreams. Many people believe that dreams can provide insights into our lives and feelings, but the trouble is, they're notoriously difficult to remember. With conscious effort, you can remember more of your dreams and recall them in greater detail.

Method - 1  :: The Morning After

1

Concentrate on recalling your dream as soon as you wake up. Typically you can remember only the last dream you had before waking. Don’t move and don’t do anything. Stay in the same position as the one in which you awoke and try to remember as much about your dream as possible before you think about                       anything else. Think it through from start to finish.

• While you're remembering, focus your gaze on the first object you see as you open your eyes. Look at the object; focus on it. That object will most often take the vague recollection of your dream to a place mark in memory where it is easier to recall details. A doorknob, a light bulb, or a nail in the wall, for example, will help you to settle into memories of what you had experienced while sleeping.

2 Record your dream in your dream journal.

Jot down as much as possible about your dream, starting with a basic sketch that includes such things as the location of the dream, the basic plot, the characters, the overall emotion of the dream (i.e. were you scared or happy in the dream?), and any prominent images you can recall.

If you can remember any dialogue, you may want to write it down first, as words in dreams are easily forgotten. Record everything you can, even if you can only remember one image. As you get the basics down, more of the dream may come to you.

If you can’t remember anything about your dream, write down the first thing that comes into your mind upon waking. It may be related to the dream in some way, and it might trigger recollections. Also write down how you’re feeling when you wake up. The emotions you experience in a dream typically remain, at least for a brief period, when you awake, so if you wake up anxious or elated, ask yourself why.

3 Increase the number of dreams you can remember by waking up more often in the night.

 We have several REM cycles in the night, and they get longer and longer toward morning. If you only record the last dream you had before you get up in the morning, there are more dreams you might not be remembering. It’s always tempting to go right back to sleep when you wake up in the middle of the night, but take the opportunity to remember what you were dreaming before you do—in all likelihood you will not remember it in the morning.

Since you usually only remember the last dream you had, you can remember more dreams by waking up several times during the night. We go through a complete sleep cycle approximately every 90 minutes, so you may find it productive to set your alarm to wake you at some multiple of 90 minutes (such as 4.5, 6, or 7.5 hours) after you expect to go to sleep. Dreams in the later half of the night are typically longer than those you dream soon after going to sleep, so you probably want to wait until at least the 4.5 hour mark to intentionally wake yourself.

This is only recommended for people who get adequate sleep and who can fall back asleep easily. Otherwise, skip this step.

4. Plan to get a good night's sleep.

We have more facility to remember the dreams which occur when our bodies are in the sleeping stage known as REM, which stands for Rapid Eye Movement.[4] The body is at rest, but the mind is active with dreams. If you don't get enough sleep at night, or your sleep is interrupted a lot, you get less REM sleep, and fewer dreams. Try going to bed every night at the same time, and waking up at the same time every morning, to make sure you're getting the right kind of rest.

Most people need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep every night to achieve the right amount of rest. People who sleep less than six hours have a hard time remembering dreams, because longer, more vivid dreams take place later in the sleeping cycle.

Create a restful sleeping environment. Eliminate noises and distractions that might be preventing you from falling into a deeper sleep. Wear earplugs if necessary, and make sure you have heavy curtains that block out light from outside.

Tips

• Certain foods such as almonds and cherries help make dreams more vivid. The more vivid your dreams are the more likely your recall will be.
• When you're dreaming, you are in an entirely different set of mind. Try lucid dreaming. When you are in this set of mind and you are lucid dreaming, sometimes you have the ability to recall your past dreams. Think of it like if you had a part of your brain that stores dreams that you have, and you can only access it by dreaming.
• Some songs actually make the dream stick in your head for a little while longer. Try listening to some music before you sleep.
• When recording the dream, it may be easier to remember if you write (or speak) it in present tense (i.e. "I am going to" instead of "I went to").
• As an alternative, you can also use a small flashlight solely for recording dreams at night. Cover the lens with three layers of masking tape so you can still easily see your journal at night, but it's not so bright that it makes you want to close your eyes.
• Better yet, don't use any light at all, as it can make it harder to remember your dreams. Just have your pen and paper where you can reach them easily, and you won't even have to open your eyes (be careful not to fall back asleep though). With practice you'll get better at writing without seeing the paper.
• Record exactly what happened without necessarily trying to make sense of it yourself, either. For example, if your dream starts inside a house and you then find yourself in a forest, avoid the temptation to assume you walked out of the house. Dreams that are foreign to everyday experience could be lost by trying to apply waking logic to the events.
• When recording dreams, remember that the recording is personal. Don't write it to make sense for others because you may find yourself altering things to make it easier for outsiders to understand. Always write what you believe to be true, not what would make sense.
• If you have the same dream the next day, or next week, jot that down also. A dream that repeats itself is important. It might have a special meaning.
• If you are someone who talks in your sleep you can film yourself using a video camera or your cell phone. Play it after writing down what you remember. This may trigger memories of dreams you had and cannot remember when you first awake.
• After you've remembered most of your dream, try to put it into the right order. This will help, because it's easier to memorize things if you know what happened first, and always write that down first.
• Take a vitamin B6 pill before bed. It will make your dreams more vivid.
• If you have a computer or mobile device nearby, try logging onto a dream publishing website that you can use to log your dreams and keep a record of them.
• If you somewhat remember a dream that you don't like and you have it over and over again, you might want to see a therapist or a mentalist.
• Record dreams that you've had in the past. This might help you recover some lost dreams or dreams that you are missing portions of.

Warnings

• If you have trouble sleeping or difficulty getting enough sleep, don’t try to record dreams in the middle of the night. Just go back to sleep.
• Be careful about interpreting dreams. The interpretation of dreams is not science, so don’t jump to conclusions, and don’t place too much importance on a dream. For example, a dream about death does not mean that someone will die, or that something bad will happen.
• Do not try to remember a frightening dream, because it might frighten you for a long period of time.

Liberating the mind 

I hope that you have enjoyed this tutorial program as much as I have enjoyed sharing

my knowledge and experiences with you. But before I let you sign off just yet, let me
remind you of a wonderful secret that underlies the practice of lucid dreaming.
Your ability to control and manipulate dreams seems natural within the context of lucid dreaming: the dreamworld is a product of your own dreaming mind, right?

Thank you for visiting my Blog. I would love to have you as a student in one of our lucid dreaming workshops.

Sweet dreams..!
