Context:- People and their neglect of mask and putting things on to the faith shows we somewhere lacked in the education.education would have created an informed mind but we as a system has failed in this.

- Most people think that corona virus will enter into the body and we can’t do anything about it.
- People neglect it because of their neglect of science.

Why this is happening:

- - We as an education system didn’t make an informed mind.
  - In education, students know about the benefits of boiling water but only for gaining mass not for applying it in real life.
  - After the passing of class, the knowledge gained in that class is hardly used in life.
  - Curiosity level is below the average.

What should we do?

- Empowering the student and creating the scientific temper in them.
- Practical based education, for example a student knows about pathogen in higher secondary but hardly he saw it because labs don’t have that required instruments.
- Telling science and studying the science and applying the science are the different things so we must recognise it.
- a rational social environment is needed.
- dissent and debate are encouraged.
