Indian education system needs to be reformed so that it could incorporate culture-based education and link the younger generation with the older one, former NCERT director J S Rajput said today.
"The present education is based on Macaulay (a British academician) system. It delinks us from our culture....we have to link the younger generation to our generation and culture," Rajput said at a symposium on 'Culture of Acceptance'.
There is a need to bring reform in the present education system, he said.
Justice Rama Jois, who was also present on the occasion, said, "in the present scenario when many parts of the world are facing religious conflicts, the only ray of hope is culture born in our country that respects every religion and ideas."
A book titled 'Expression of Christianity with special focus on India' was also released on the occasion.

#1 Advanced education system in India
I can understand the sentiments towards our culture but in a way the present education system is actually educating the younger generation in a better and advanced way. Children in the present generation are more focused towards their career and can take decisions without much confusion as they are not only educated by text books but also through internet. E-education is really becoming popular in the present scenario, now students are getting an opportunity to learn online. That's really great. There are many such sites for online courses and distance learning, I personally got a lot of help from SiliconIndia.com as they not only helped me with books but also the Mentors there guided me the right way towards my career. It's time for India to think big.
