Education system in our country has undergone many changes over the years. There are several things that has been changed and things that are needed to be changed in the system.
One of the hurdle of our education system is the rigid process of choose one’s career. Young in age as young as 15-16 are forced to choose a career path which they will have to continue with rest of their life. Which might seem like it helps them to develop a commitment but often these decisions are taken because of exterior pressure rather than one’s own interest (if the child has found one already). Due to this reason, some might find their field frustrating and unable to do anything about it.

As much as I believe that a child should be rewarded for the good performance academically, but also the same puts immense pressure on the child to perform better. This however, is not the issue. The issue lies with the administration of school. We often see teachers treating the children unequally on basis of their marks not only inside the classroom but Also outside. This creates a sense of inferiority in children even at a young age which leads to difficulties in future.
