Murthy highlights India’s low R&D investment; calls out coaching class
culture .. BL .. 10 Sept 2024
Extract :
Narayana Murthy, the
founder of Infosys, stated that calling India a science-loving nation might be
an exaggeration.
Murthy,
commenting on the education system in India, said, “Aside from some
exceptions, in India, we have focused by and large on rote
learning which doesn’t help us relate what was learned in the class to
think about real-world problems.”
He added that coaching classes are not the solution to help
children learn better.
“That notion is wrong.
At the
end of the day, coaching classes might introduce a certain discipline
that every parent can provide at home. These classes do have somebody to guide
you in that subject if you commit a mistake. The problem is most
students don’t listen carefully; there may also be cases where parents are
not as competent to help,” Murthy said, adding that if a
student uses the time properly and listens to the teacher carefully, there may be little need for
these classes

Some 67 years ago ( 1957 ) , I heard Prof. Mischke ( University
of Kansas ) announce in a class I took :
“ Only education worth its name is Self Education “
As a student , I listened – and never
forgot
That made me launch , a few weeks ago , a self education tool in
the form of > www.My-teacher.in
I do not expect you to “ Endorse “ it but I request
you to “ Experience “ it on your mobile ( - no registration / login / payments
)
With regards.
