THE CRUX OF ENTIRE LEARNING PROCESS!

'harthuryaathi na gocharam kimapi sham pushnaathi yathsarvadhaa
pyarthibhyah prathipaadhyamaanamanisham praapnothi vrudhdhim paraam
kalpaantheshvapi na prayaathi nidhanaam vidhyaakhyamanthardhanam
yeshaam thaasprathi maanamujgha tha nrupaah kasthaissaha spardhathe!'

'Giving knowledge to others is the greatest service (on the earth). It cannot be stolen by thieves. It gives utmost happiness and makes one only resourceful. Such service does not diminish thru' time; instead it grows and can never be destroyed. The donations of a wealthy king may diminish and be destroyed at anytime but the knowledge spread by a wise man stays forever!' 

(Bhartruhari Neetisathakam Verse 13)

A night watchman on his rounds of vigil at mid night was shouting aloud,

“Awake and be alert!”

Every one woke up, looked out, re checked the locked doors and peacefully went back to sleep. A Great Personality too sleeping like them got up with the watchman's shouting and instantly thinking within,

“Am I sleeping in my life?”

Opened the doors, moved towards forest, sat thru' meditation and attained Salvation!

Any learning with an individual is truly centered around such basic urge within which continuously moves in a particular direction timeless and

All the subsequent contributions of the person from that learning would directly be helping out meeting certain requirement of the world invariably existing at that moment..

By carrying a high level of respect towards this sacred learning process wherein the teacher and the student actively participate in the curriculum of education system around, let's get into the basic ingredients of this learning as then alone we would be able to address the defects of the system if any crept in over a period of time..

The main activities of this basic system of education include:

• Molding the personality from the tender age, 
• Inculcating certain qualities of morals and ethics of life, 
• Developing the basic learning skills, 
• Expanding the knowledge base, 
• Developing equally the competitive skills,
• Developing special skills for taking up specific job/work etc..

Such a learning forever needs to start with a Prayer invoking the Sacred Spirit of Right Learning similar to the Shanthi Mantra..

'Om saha naav avatu
saha Nau Bhunaktu
sahaviiryam karavaavahai
Tejasvi Naav Adhiitam Astu Maa vidvissaavahai
om shaantih shaantih shaantih!'

Meaning..

'Om! May God Protect us both
May God Nourish us both
May we work together with energy and vigor
May our study be enlightening
Om! peace Peace Peace!'

Thus continued basic Learning in time, leads the student to advanced levels thru' higher learning and specializations..

In the whole structure of this learning at any point of time, marks or gradation indirectly define the level of achievement in specific field and as such they need to be by the side which instantly speak what a person is..

But ultimately, they alone would never complete the assessment in this complex system of learning as the actual interactions that continuously take place beyond over years alone speak that whose assessment and recording truly become difficult..

Here, the certificates of achievements in the extra curricular activities in which the learner actively participated all along with a record of a few of human traits exhibited by him/her towards higher qualities of life like

• Caring for the fellow human being, 
• Taking a lead in a movement and 
• Upholding truth and justice around

Culminating ultimately to the quality of

Humility and a Service Attitude with certain level of Sacrifice from within

Complete the assessment to a great extent..

Thus seen, if an individual has to be fully evaluated in this comprehensive learning process, no single index can speak of that as each person excels in one particular area and become almost 90-100% proficient there and that too remains as a requirement in the surroundings!

The post is written in line with the requirement of this week's IndiSpire Prompt Education system of India is more focused on bookish knowledge rather than practical knowledge. Still students are judged on basis of their report card. Give ur opinions on this subject #EducationSystem
