Napolean Bonaparte once said, “There are two levers to set a man in motion, fear and self interest”.
Education takes different forms and structures. With countries progressing towards the Digital era, there occurs a doubt whether the developing countries have an education structure which makes it sound and energetic. When we look into the database of developed countries like the US, Russia, etc., we can see that their education system is more value based and designed in meeting what the student wants or aims. A value based education system deals with the education of students of what he or she needs. A more general context is: Educating students based on their talents or skills.
Whereas, a peek into the education system of developing countries, it’s more of moral based. Here, all the students, irrespective of their goal or intention, are spoon-fed with knowledge. A doubt readily arises: Is it knowledge? Isn’t it like teaching Nuclear Reaction for Roger Federer? Though the intention of providing fundamental knowledge to all people is right, the extra dose is what keeping us distinguished from the developed countries. Now looking back at what Bonaparte meant, it does make sense. What we see in moral based is definitely fear; while value based portrays self interest. So, it’s high time that the educational system of the developing countries meet the well required change to qualify itself to compete for the path of glory.
