The science teaching and rationality India needs (The Hindu, GS-2,3, Science and tech, Human resource, governance)

13 May The science teaching and rationality India needs (The Hindu, GS-2,3, Science and tech, Human resource, governance)

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.
