Yes i do agree! Merely cramming the books during exams and blurting it out on papers doesn't impart the real education. The sad part of our education system is assessment of a student is not in the right way. Marks aren't the problem. Problem is marks are given only for final exams which include only bookish subjects. If there are marks for every month's assessment which include extra curricular activities as well, then we can witness a significant change in our education system.

The education system in India dates back to the 20th century and it is has become immensely important to change the whole education system in order to be at par with the changing world. The education system in India only literates the people and do not actually educate them. The competition here is only to gain more and more marks and not knowledge. This is not the right attitude. Education should not be limited to books but should also include other activities that will keep the mind and body fresh. It is now high time to change the existing education system that is prevalent in India.

Indian education system needs reformation. Most of the institutes still follow old syllabus and nothing new is taught. Indian education system lags behind in many ways and in my view, the whole teaching system should be changed. Interactive education should be introduced in schools and colleges as this helps in grooming the students as well as makes them more alert and attentive. Seminars should be conducted and every student should be given opportunity in it.
