Primary education in India tends to focus more on theoretical studies than practical learning for several reasons. Firstly, there is a traditional mindset deeply rooted in the education system that values memorization and rote learning over practical skills. Many schools emphasize completing the syllabus and preparing students for examinations, which typically assess theoretical knowledge rather than practical understanding.
Secondly, a lack of resources, particularly in rural areas, plays a significant role. Many schools do not have the necessary infrastructure, such as science labs, workshops, or field trip opportunities, to support hands-on learning. Additionally, the large student-to-teacher ratio often makes it challenging to implement interactive or practical learning methods. With one teacher managing a large number of students, it’s easier to stick to theoretical lessons.
Furthermore, there is immense societal pressure on students to perform well in examinations, which are heavily weighted towards theoretical knowledge. Parents and teachers alike often prioritize high exam scores, which reinforces a focus on theory over practical skills. To encourage more balanced education, there needs to be a shift in mindset, along with investment in resources, teacher training, and a curriculum that values practical experiences and critical thinking, balancing both theory and practice.
