I replied, \u201cI wanted to be a doctor.\u201d He then went on \u201cJust like your father eh? Good, good \u2026 tell me young lad, what is the definition of science?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was flustered and sheepishly, embarrassingly admitted my ignorance. He turned up his nose and droned \u201cScience is a systematic study of phenomena through observation and experimentation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The well-meaning gentleman wasn\u2019t well-meaning after all. Not only did he smash my hopes of becoming a doctor, he also, quite unwittingly, brought to surface something fundamentally wrong with education in India.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate my point, I need you to look at the gentleman\u2019s definition of science again. Where is observation and experimentation in our science education? Aren\u2019t our question papers skewed in favour of students who can memorize facts and \u201cdefinitions\u201d? Shouldn\u2019t we be discouraging cramming and rewarding understanding instead?<\/p>\n<p>I can count on fingers of my hand the number of crammers who went on to win Nobels. Wait \u2026 I\u2019ve got no fingers. Just kidding.<\/p>\n<p>You guessed it. The headline was just a ruse to get your attention. The post isn\u2019t all about me ranting about lost opportunities. On the contrary, I\u2019m thankful to that gentleman for killing my dreams of becoming a doctor. If it hadn\u2019t been for him, I wouldn\u2019t have become a copywriter \u2013 a job I thoroughly enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>So what is this post about then? It\u2019s about \u2026<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Everything_Wrong_with_Science_Education_in_India\"><\/span>Everything Wrong with Science Education in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of things that I feel are wrong about the way science is treated in the classrooms across India.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_curriculum_for_a_few\"><\/span>A curriculum for a few<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Indian curriculum doesn\u2019t take into account all learning styles. It only favors those who can keep pace with teachers\u2019 instructions and memorize like a parrot. The curriculum is so poorly designed that there is little or nothing for kinesthetic, visual and social learning styles.<\/p>\n<p>Such learners can benefit a lot from hand-on activities and demonstrations. But sadly, such activities are considered extra-curricular rather than being a part of core curriculum. Despite National Curriculum Framework (NCF-2005) and Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) guidelines on making hand-on activities a regular part of the curriculum, most schools view these guidelines as an obligation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disjointed_syllabus\"><\/span>Disjointed syllabus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Students are introduced to the concept of motion in seventh standard for the first time. A whole year goes by before they\u2019re exposed to the concept again in ninth standard. By this time, their slate is wiped clean. In fact, students forget the concepts as soon as the seventh standard exams are over. This disconnect in the syllabus is only matched by the incoherence of the books.<\/p>\n<p>The school books are usually authored by one person. This means students are exposed to a single viewpoint, which we all know can be a dangerous thing. What\u2019s more, different subjects live on their private islands. Students fail to see the interdependence between subjects.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Theory_theory_theory\"><\/span>Theory, theory, theory<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Learning science without experiments and hands-on activities is like learning to swim without taking a dip in water. But if\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/75-of-schools-lack-decent-science-labs-Survey\/articleshow\/40385273.cms\">science labs are ill-equipped<\/a>\u00a0or missing completely, how can scientific concepts be understood?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody knows the importance of labs in science teaching. But learning science has been reduced to mugging up things.\u201d rues professor Yashpal, celebrated science columnist.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Teachers_fail_to_make_science_relevant\"><\/span>Teachers fail to make science relevant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is how science was taught in my heyday:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Teacher asks her favorite student to read aloud from the book.<\/li>\n<li>The teacher paraphrases with no additional examples.<\/li>\n<li>Finishing syllabus is as easy as 1, 2, 3 \u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s not difficult to see why most teachers teach this way. Because this way requires no effort at all. No preparation of notes before the lecture. No lesson planning. Nada.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Really_bad_teachers\"><\/span>Really bad teachers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In 2011, CBSE introduced the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET). In 2012, 99% of the 7.95 lakh teachers who took it failed. Here are the latest figures from 2015:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>17.90 % of the 207522 appearing candidates cleared paper I (Primary classes I-V)<\/li>\n<li>9.16% of the 470032 appearing candidates cleared paper II (Elementary classes VI \u2013 VIII)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Year-on-year, those are good results. Maybe, just maybe, the quality of teachers has dramatically improved in just three years. \u00a0Perhaps the exam has become easier. Or is it the mushrooming of coaching institutes?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, those who passed will go to CBSE-affiliated schools. What about the rest?<\/p>\n<p>You got that right. There isn\u2019t a dearth of low-paying schools in India as there is no dearth of shady B. Ed. colleges that regularly churn out mediocre talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was 14, I was asked by a well-meaning gentleman what I wanted to do in life.
