This petition is to improve the Indian education system. This system was originally made by Thomas Babington Macaulay at the time of the Industrial Revolution so that Britishers can communicate with Indian laborers. So the look and feel of the Indian education system are like factories. You can notice it anytime, how the bells are rung and so on. The main motive was to make Indians communicate with Britishers and to don't make Indian as creative as they originally were. They just want us to work in factories as per as they want. After the independence, this system was barely changed. And in the 1960s, during the cold war between America and Russia, both wanted engineers, They wanted to import laborers from India, Russia had good relations with India but Indian engineers went to America because they knew English. At that time the demand was very high. Nowadays, it is changed and the supply is very high instead of demand, but students cannot understand this, and trying hard to crack competitive exams and are not succeeding. The typical situation is - Firstly, A student will take admission in top coachings and spend at least 5-8 lac rupees. Then 99% cannot qualify then entrance exam because there are only 13,000~ seats in IIT's and pay 20-25 lac rupees again to take admission in a private college, after 4 years of bachelors degree they are unemployable due to lack of skills and continue to do masters, after masters after 2-3 years of finding jobs, they choose either research or a job at their own college. This is a harsh reality because there are 15,000~ engineering colleges that degrade the quality of skills. every year 6,00,000~ students complete their bachelor's degree out of which 4,80,000~ are unemployable because the education system is based on theories and mob mentality. Due to mob mentality, there were 25,00,000~ engineers in the country in 2017 and this number is predicted to be blown up by 50,00,000~. There is nothing practical in this system. There are tons of things that are not necessary. But the things which we need are not taught. Everyone has to get skills instead of impractical theories. Children don't have clear fundamentals and they don't know why they are studying which their teacher tells them to. They don't ask that why we are studying this. Every child who wants to be an engineer but hey/he doesn't know how to install software etc.. in 8-9th class. There are no regular practical lectures on computers. (Computers and computing power is from 1999, they barely work) And if there are any then they are again some impractical entrepreneurial skills without any experience. NO ARTS, NO MUSIC, NO GAMES. They teach calculus & trigonometry. I can't find any single practical use of these in our day-to-day life. This system has no fundamentals. The Indian government introduced NEP but the implementation is as slow as hell. It is expected to be implemented by 2040 which is insensible. I hope you all will file this petition and share it will others so that we can change our education system.

Here is a short updated and precise paragraph to read quickly as my story - 

Hey! You can find a more detailed description of the Indian education system is written above. I am in 10th, and being trained as labor for the last 10+ years. class and I am tired of wasting my time and power at just learning the things which I will eventually forget next year or after 2 years, for example, How long are the Indian highways, which varies every year, but I have to learn it eventually to score well in exams. I will never use this type of data in my whole life. however, If I have to use this data anywhere, the more efficient way would be to google this information, I will get updated and the latest data in less than 500 milliseconds. After learning this bullshit, I will compete with 15,00,000~ students just to have a seat in top college, apparently to have a 9 to 5 boring job at a tech giant for 50,000 - 80,000~ rupees per month as I will come out as untrained labor after 4 years of bachelors. My parents believe in typical engineering, I don't want to pursue engineering, I got admission to a coaching institute and now I'm studying the syllabus of 11th as well as 10th simultaneously. I am really tired of studying just to be accepted by society. 20 students commit suicide every day due to stress means after every 90 minutes a student commits suicide, just in India. Just teach something practical to live a peaceful life.

"A 10th class student doesn't know how to handle & invest finances, which he has to do whole his life to survive but he knows about the wavelength of red color." 

"I want to be practical instead of learning the number of electrons in an atom of nitrogen or the deviation angle of light in a convex mirror."
