Descriptive English- SBI PO EXAM 2014-Give at least three causes behind student unrest in India. 1. The present- day system of education has no relation with the vocational needs of students. The curriculum is outdated and teaching listless. As a result, the students are at their wit’s end while following a particular course in schools and colleges. They often magnify their demands and grievances and launch agitations to get them redressed. The remedy would be to overhaul the existing system of education and make our education more job-oriented. This will get the students interested in studies and they will have little time for agitations or unrest. 2. The second factor for student unrest in India is the politicization of education. All political parties have their youth wings in our schools, colleges and universities. As a result, trivial issues are blown out of proportion and students take to the streets in support of the political party or politicians patronizing them. They lose sight of their real aim, i.e., they have come to educational institutions to study. During the period of student unrest, studies suffer and the pity is that no one is bothered about the loss suffered by the student community in general as a result of unrest. 3. Our Policy of education should be modified in the light of the observation of many academicians that most students in our educational institutions are not interested in studies. Educational institutions are just places where they mark their time before they get ready to face life in the world outside. Keeping this in view, the Government should not place undue emphasis on compulsory education for all the citizens. Our schools, colleges and universities are overcrowded at present. In view of the need for basic education, it should be enough if all our citizens master the three R’s. After this, they should be left to decide for themselves whether they are interested in higher education. Forcing education down everyone’s throat leads to student unrest. It is like taking an unwilling horse to water.
