Mass Education vs.. True Calling

"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if ultimately instance, at peace with himself. What one can be, one must be "~ Abraham Maslow

We were having an argument, but it was one of the arguments can have with a friend - polite, but forceful. My friend is a great guy who has dedicated his life to teaching reading, math and science to school children Government of Tamil Nadu. He has had a positive impact on thousands of children over the last decade. But I was getting into the act.

"Why 're trying to make each an IIT aspirant, "I asked." Are there other careers that can not be more in tune with your natural talents? "

"Yes, there are other possible careers for many children," he admitted. "But his parents and peer groups value more math and science. They fear their child is stupid, if he or she does not score good marks in these subjects. I concentrate on math and science to build self-esteem in children. "I was still thinking about this day after Girija when my wife and I visited my mother. We chat with the housekeeper, whose 12-year-old son is in 7th grade at a nearby public school.

The housekeeper complained that his son, while standing in 4 of his class, got his highest marks in English and mathematics, which he liked, while only achieving pass marks in other subjects such as science, social studies and Tamil. She wanted him to go to college, but the boy did not seem very interested in studies, was more interested in working with carpentry and other trades.

I remembered our conversation with target = "_blank"> Panchayat President Elango of youth in the village of Kuthambakkam, and how many of their parents to education as a kind of passport to upward mobility. And in some cases, it is. However, many people are having problems with youth in grade 10 examinations not public - and then think they are too good for farm work or labor of others, but they can get better jobs. These youths tend to be so vague, living off their parents and fall prey to any corrupting influence of the village.

I am convinced that every human being on earth is born with gifts and talents. With the effort and guidance, everyone can discover their own vocation - that we each have our own way to excel and make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, our educational system interferes with this process through its "one size fits all .

Moreover, society and economies to create their own complications, especially in India, by glorifying and rewarding vocations more than others. It is sad: The more is to produce something useful to the world, rather than the person wins. Thus a person who produces goods and services is a value x '. " The person who creates and markets a business in these goods and services '10x wins'. And the person providing the financial input to the company earns '100x '!

The question we must ask ourselves - and discuss, cordially, with our friends and family - is whether this distortion should persist in value Connected age - with its reduced asymmetry of information and opportunities. Does the New Age opens new opportunities to exert a true vocation and to make a good life, in so doing, instead of having to pursue certain occupations purely by money, but without joy?

Is our education system capable to honor the individuality and uniqueness of each one of us, and nurture instead of withdrawing into the lowest common denominator under the pretext of not leaving any child back? These are questions I would like to discuss with us, politely and rationally, as a community.
