you have taken up a very important issue for discussion. i am a highly qualified person working in a very coveted position. but i had my earlier primary education in mother tongue in a govt. school and not a convent. This is about fifteen year old story. i remember my old school days where there is no computer or any multi media gadgets in the school. on the first day the child is asked to sit on the lap of the father or mother and with their help the child will write om on sand. this was the practice for three months. later on the child will be exposed all moral stories by the teacher this will go on for nine months. then only alphabets and other lessons are started. English is introduced only at the third standard. we never had tie or shoe anything of that sort. Our intelligence and knowledge grown in a regular pace and we are inferior to nobody. What i am trying to point out is the present day education will teach the child to committ suicide in case of failure. Tution and extra coaching has become a lucrative business. Above all the person running the school establishment may even be an illitrate. There is no controlling mechanism.
