We have only a handful of people who are educated in the true sense. We have a whole lot of people who have qualifications on paper but are far from being educated. We have a vast majority that is not even literate. If this situation continues, we will have whole new generations of people who will be unequipped to handle the problems of the future.
I see a lot of tense, unhappy youngsters around me. They are quick to take to drugs, loaf, fight, loose hope and even take their lives. Most of their relations become transient. They are lonely, unable to communicate and form stable bonds with others.
I am surrounded by young people the whole day. I like to interact with people of all ages. I find that the current system of education is able to do very little for the young.
They are caught in a web of unrelated learning that is meaningless for them. They are unhappy, bored and tense and are unable to do their best. They waste their energy fighting with each other, their teachers and parents.
Unfortunately the current social and education system is ill equipped to handle do any of this. Most of what is being done in the name of education today tries to kills all originality, creativity and rational thought process.
