As a student, my life had been engulfed in education for more than ten years. It is noticeable that over the years competition do increase sharply, trapping most of us in a rat race, in order to obtain the best qualification. It often make us wonder, what had gone horribly wrong with our education system. It had been ruining the childhood of many young souls as ambitious parents (and sometimes also the school) vie with each other in an effort to produce the best student.
This very act not only threaten the joy of childhood but also true education itself. It killed the joy of learning which is the main aim if education. Instead of enjoying a good book to satisfy our hunger for knowledge, we are now desperately memorizing what is written in our notes and guidebooks for the sake of getting good grades. While our education system had been proven efficient in converting schools to a factory producing high performance students, it had failed miserably in producing students which high enthusiasm on learning the subject of their choice. It had effectively destroyed the passion of learning, by forcing students to learn everything in the syllabus. Like it or not the students have to learn a subject not of their choice, because it is simply in the syllabus and will be tested in exams.
So, what is really wrong about our education system? Why we end up studying for the wrong reason? Who are to blame for this problem? I leave it for you to answer.
