Let’s consider that our new civility is
getting the education system that is not only the best in the world but also
helpful to make them reliable and a kind of best in mankind, would not that be
a fortuitous approach. The education system is boon for the society in
nourishing its present and future by ensuring aim of the life.
Having a good education is key in life. Not only does it set you up for success in terms of a career but it also determines how you are perceived socially. A good education allows you to fit in with the higher educated crowds.
Needless to say, the Education is the basic
field for the improvement in the development of a nation and growth of
civilization in world wide. Without it our youth would have no guidance in this
very difficult world. The emitting light for the future generation can be
accomplished with a good education system. It is not worthy to debate that how
a good education system can empower us.
A successful education system does not
only deal with traditional curriculum based study pattern to get good results
however to conquer new things for the overall growth of an individual. Quality
and importance of the education is increasing day by day in the wold wide and
it is mainly depending on the education system.
21st century, a decade of advancement, techs,
globalization and the generation Z these are the characteristic’s allowing us
to implement different approach in education system. Education system in the world
wide is a platform for the youth folk to achieve the milestone. A humungous system
must be threshold to focus on Social Progress Imperative .We do not need
an Education system in which docents are medicated. The frame of reference must
be that appealing that the address of the idea of pronounced experience, is
operating at their peak.
Here is a list of countries that are always
talked about whenever quality education is considered.
SOUTH KOREA
The South Korean
education system has always been an ideal system for all the other developing
as well as the developed nations. The country boasts a literacy rate of 99.2%. The
Korean students have always outshone students from various other countries and
it is due to the fact that their parents play a very vital role in the
education of their children. The importance of education is instilled in the
children from a very young age by their parents, and this becomes the
motivating factor for the children.
Schooling in South Korea
begins at the age of three and ends at eighteen. By the time a child turns
eighteen, he/she has cleared all four levels of Korean education system:
Pre-school (age between 3-6),
Primary School (age between 6-12),
Middle School (age between 12-15) and
High School (age between 15-18).
Primary education in
South Korea is FREE and COMPULSORY. The academic year is divided into two
semesters-from March to august and December to February.
SINGAPORE
In Singapore, education
is governed by the Ministry of Education, which looks after both-the government
and private schools as well as colleges. All the schools across the country
have a uniform syllabus. Earlier the teachers used to focus on curriculum
teaching and exam preparation. But in the past years a shift from the
traditional education system has been observed and now the teachers’ primary
objective is to provide Quality teaching rather than quantity teaching. New
methods to incorporate technology in the everyday teaching are being
continuously evolved by the teachers to make the children understand the topics
in a better way.
The students are enrolled
in schools at the age of three and complete their schooling at the age of seventeen
(on an average). The preschool lasts for about three years followed by six
years of primary school and five years of secondary school. It is considered a
criminal offense if the parents don’t enrol their children in school or if
their children don’t keep up with the attendance policy of the institution, and
the parents are punished in accordance with the law of the country.
HONG KONG
The education model of
Hong Kong underwent a major reform in 2009-10 and is still in the process of
reforming. Education is divided into three different steps-kindergarten and
nursery school, primary school and secondary school. Just like in Korea and
Singapore, the children get enrolled in school at the age of three and graduate
from the secondary school when they turn eighteen(On an average).Further, there
is also a concept of adult education which gives an opportunity to the middle
aged adults to get a tertiary degree from universities and private
institutions.
From the past years, the
emphasis has been shifted from the curriculum based teaching to the overall
personal development of the children. Therefore, giving more importance to the
moral ethics, physical fitness, civic service and hard work. Parents are very
much interested in their child’s
education and can also complain to the authorities if the school is not giving
enough homework.
The Indian education system is not the best
education system in the world but is on its way to become one. Colleges like IIT, IIM and many more are
world widely recognised. But the majority of students are only concentrating in
scoring marks and not in overall development. We have to understand that the
passing the exam doorway is not only the criteria for good education system.
For best education
1) The system should focus on skill Education.
2) Reward for creativity
3) Use smart tech to teach
