Advancement in Education System

My philosophy about the education system and its implementation are very clear. I believe that education is the most important part of every human life regardless of age and this is the greatest responsibility of the education system and its implementing agencies/institutes and its policy makers to provide an adequate system for the students as well as education providers.

As the time changes, advancement in technologies increases day by day but the question arises here is, how much are we using current technologies for betterment for our education system? I observe various things in our education system which are still running in very old fashioned ways.

In our system examination is the most important part of evaluation of every student's capability which determines the scale of the student or even future and at this point one's life can be upgraded or degraded depending upon the student's hard work and mind capability. But how efficient and transparent our system is? Is it able to implement this crucial part of a student's life without any interference?

To clarify the difference I would like to explain our current examination procedure in education system that is followed by government Universities/Institutions:

Present System: In our present system students have to write examinations for particular question papers on answer sheets as per the given Instructions of the institutions and answer sheets were examined by the concerned subject teacher as per intuitions guidelines and marks were awarded according to the students' performance in the answer sheets. And without the student’s knowledge about their answers and mistakes in the exams as well as answer sheet evaluator mistakes during the checking or awarding the marks, student's final result prepared and after the final result declaration if students do not satisfy with the marks awarded in the answer sheets then they need to file RTI application against the institution system to see their answer sheets with much more than 1000 rupees per subject. Which is a very complicated procedure for the students and they are afraid to do so because they can be targeted in next examinations by the concerned faculty.

Present System Disadvantages: Here I am listing some drawbacks and loopholes in our present system.

1. We are still dependent on our outdated system which is not suitable for everyone according to current advancement in technologies and new generations.

2. Students are unable to identify their mistakes without watching their answer sheet after answer sheet evaluation by elevators.

3. Not transparent.

4. Students have to pay an extra fee to see their own answer sheets.

5. There is no mechanism to identify that the answer sheets examined were correct and students have to blindly depend on the institution's procedure. And this is not the true evaluation of students.

6. There are many chances to play with a student's life on the basis of marks in all aspects and this may be the reason we more often sea teacher-student harassment cases.

Advancement in Present System:

There two possible solutions can be made to remove the above disadvantages.

'First one is to make rules for all universities/institutions to show the answer sheet to the students after just the marks are awarded In the answer sheet and prior to declaration of final result of the student in the similar fashion as exams conducted (just for 15 minutes). In this process students are able to see where they made mistakes and also this will help to cross check their answer-sheets to see that there is no mistake made by the evaluator. This procedure is currently used by few universities, where every student is happy with this system and no doubt remains in the students mind.

However, the above first option will burden the institution's manpower. And I am sure no one university will be happy with this option. To resolve this problem, there is other one technological solution available that needs less manpower but it will make the Indian education system robust in the world.

The second Procedure it to make a bending machine that will scan all the answer sheets and this machine will upload this scan ropy to centralized server of particular university and also available to the students to see the evaluated answer sheet with students account on the server without any charge and there are plenty of other possibilities to use this system in various ways to make Indian education system Transparent, authentic and the best in the world.

If the Ministry of Education is ready to implement this change I would be happy to assist more about this system and possible advancements and its implementation which are floating in my brain. I want my country to be the first to make such a revolutionary change in the education system and this could be the best part of the Digital India Campaign.
