Every  day I come across many persons including my parents saying , ” Don’t waste time! Study for the exams “.  Not only my parents but I think all the parents at least say these dialogues once in a day to their children . Of course, scoring good marks in schools and colleges is necessary, because these numbers and grades plays an important role in our next stage of life. There is  stiff competition among humans in every field but only the Darwin’s theory of   ‘ Survival of the Fittest ‘ is  applicable. Because even we have loads of potentials, only the fittest who overcome others can succeed now. But we assumed that only by reading and scoring marks can only make us to take part in the race to survive. But this is totally wrong.  Education is nothing but the process of learning about something to acquire knowledge about it. But today education has  become materialistic, just for scoring marks and getting a job which would pay many thousands. Nowadays, in  India, every entrance exam needs a student to be a top scorer as a necessary criteria. Its not wrong but all the others who don’t qualify for those exams are not fools or stupid. Most of the entrance exams for colleges have subjects that are being studied in schools. This changes the approach of the students who turn into a bookworm instead of gaining knowledge. As a result education has turned out to be a tool for taking up a job and money. This only will make make us  ‘ ignorant ‘ and ‘ fools ‘ . Education doesn’t mean scoring top marks in the exams. Its not education if you do not want to know anything you read and don’t have interest in knowing about in depth about it. But unfortunately this is the current situation in our country except in few national institutions. This materialistic approach has to be changed immediately in order to produce well  ‘ educated ‘ citizens. Its not the responsibility of the government but of our society and our parents too. First of all , every parent should encourage and motivate their children when they try something new . They should help them to change their mind set so that they can realize that only scoring marks is not important. They should help them to acquire knowledge about anything when they need to know, even though its not going to deal nothing with exams. The society should encourage and felicitate people who are well ‘ educated ‘ rather than felicitating the one who earns lakhs of money and does nothing to anybody. It may not be a big issue to see not as a student, but if it continues it will surely turn out to be a problem concerned with mental ability of our citizens  when compared to other nations .
