Education is an important input for the developement of an individual , society and the nation. As the frontiers of knowledge expand with time, curriculum is also simultaneously updated and restructured to enhance the standards of education. Inspite of all these efforts, innovations and discoveries are scanty in our country as in western countries.
Our system of education supply the students with knowledge instead of instructing them to seek knowledge.The learning leads to livelihood but not satisfaction at the end. The learning should implant and generate new ideas, new concepts, self belief and self confidence which everyone need to develop originality. Only then the students can realise and use their inner strength. This is what Swami Vivekananda said,"Education is the manifestation of perfection already in man"
The ultimate aim of life is happiness and no school or education system is taking cognizance of this most important aspect. The students are fed a lot of information but ultimately they are unhappy. Being happy is an art and it has to be fostered right from the childhood. Schooling is only a means to happiness and not an end in itself. Learning should be a fun. Our curriculum should be designed in such a way that it exposes the children with various fields, ideas, developments which inturn induces the children to seek more knowledge in their area of interest. This can be practiced atleast in the initial period of our schooling. Only then the present gap between the number of literates and the number of patents filed in the country will be reduced.
