We all are running after our kids for their studies. Especially In India I find many parents wanted their child to rush through to their education and achive something in life. Not sure what they actually expects from their kids. In process, I noticed the approach of the education has completelly changed. Todsy education is all about gaining the degree so that to get a top flying pay packages in any big corporates. Simultaneously, we all are feeding into the kids mind that money is every thing.

In the rapid changing world with full of competition everywhere, education has just becomes a source to earn money, nonetheless forgetting about its prime objective. The education system has changed a lot, looking at the overall change of atmosphere.
Looking back of my dad's studies, to that of mine or our upcoming generation, the knowledge base is far below less. My Dad and many people of his genre still has vast knowledge. It's not only about gaining knowledge, they all were far better human being and well respected in the society. This must be taken into notice that at their time, there were not much facility or comfort available to them. No proper school, No library, no private classes etc even they were suppose to study under dim light of oil lamps. Still, if I compare their status their frame of mind, their approach to life, I find they are far ahead of our or our new upcoming generation.

Overall the theme of education has completelly changed. If we look at the our tradional approach then education does not only means to acquire information. Our current generation were full of information, have many knowledge base, but :
do they really make a great human being or mind, or character??
That is something need to focus as the changing education system or the approach has made many changes. A good education is something that makes real people or human being.
Education is by no means is to acquire information. It doesn't stand for the amount of information that is put into the human brain. It must have, man making, character making, and life building accumulation of ideas. Then only by means of that education, something can be gained in the world.
Most probably, students of today's time are not aware of or completelly ignorant about it and they were happy of the amount of information they posses, but somewhere they lack the intrinsic quality, values and approach to life that are required to achive success in life.
We are are running for money, and we must our approach to making good minds and good human being that could make the world beautiful.
