What Changes Do You Want in Our Current Educational System?
In my opinion, the core problem lies with how we assess students. It’s always based on “how much can you memorize X amount of stuff and write it neatly?”- there is no assessment of skill here. This system is so one dimensional that students with other types of skills are getting excluded. I think the assessment of a student should be based on a variety of activities given to students. It needs to foster the talent of the students rather than forcing them to memorize a whole bunch of stuff.
