Do children like school? Not much.
They were sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Make them suitable for feeding as gears on the wheels of the social/industrial system.
No one questioned why everything was taught to the children.
Ken Robinson, a writer and thinker, wondered why the children did not learn dance, music and drama. Or anything they might want to do other than the main subjects, why can't music be the main subject for some students in the school? Well, more and more questions like this are being asked in India and abroad.
While Robinson accused the school of killing creativity, in India education is more about building toilets and repairing faucets, providing food, choosing between prospective teachers and graduate teachers, about having a classroom for every 30 students instead of every 60 students90 students.
But beyond that, even the silver head of education minister Kapil Sibal, there is nothing wrong with it.
Sugata Mitra called the "hole in the wall" experiment he did for NIIT, and there are already many experiments to replace the primary education system.
Information technology is being used in many places to make education a more democratic and participatory process.
As Mitra said, our goal is to make education fail.
Tolerance, least invasive and selforganising.
The experiment by NIIT researchers is well known that schools are taking many "hole in the Wall" initiatives in different parts of India and abroad, because children without letters draw their own learning routes, it's just a help of internet explorer.
Sriram Subramaniam, a computer science reader at the University of Bristol, is on a journey similar to Mitra.
In fact, subamaniam is working with NIIT.
His gadget is not an ordinary computer that Mitra installed on the walls of various buildings across the country for children.
He assembled two computers and a camera and a projector in a horizontal way, forming the top of a typical classroom table.
So, if there is a table with a touch screen, like the Apple iphone, eight children can easily form their own questions and find answers.
So, in a class of 40 students
The Right to Education Act now prohibits classes with 90 children --
You need five tables like this.
The children can be divided into eight groups and learn by themselves based on the charts, charts and graphics prepared by the teacher.
This provides services equivalent to online activities.
In many states, learning-based learning is now being introduced in small quantities.
Subamaniam and his team have installed these tables
Ranked number one in two schools in New Delhi, one is private school, one is government, seeing the excitement of the kids, they are now able to provide input for what they have learned, they are very excited
In fact, the team plans to design the course materials with the input provided by the students themselves, which they think is possible.
This will make their education more complete, he said.
The technology is simple, open source and can be used by anyone who wants to make and sell it, ensuring it's cheap.
This will not make "One Laptop Per Child" obsolete or irrelevant, he said.
Children can take home.
This, he said, complements this by introducing group learning.
This leaves the teacher in the background.
