Every student wishes to obtain a better education so that they can break the dependency and build their career to lead an enriched life. Most of the time, when we talk about the students of the government college, there we find a huge gap between the level of personality development when compared with the students of private educational institutions. Reasons could be many:
1. The medium to a great extent acts as a barrier to the development. After the intermediate course, which is often studied in Hindi medium by the maximum girls in Bihar, they find it difficult to opt for vocational courses, which is taught and studied in English medium.
2. The cost of education creates an obstacle when a girl child wishes to proceed with higher education. Parents do have to give the second thought before getting their child admitted in well-reputed institutions.
3. There is lack of awareness among the common people about the facilities provided by the government, particularly for the purpose of education.
At RPM College, Patna city, while interacting with the students, tried to generate interest among the students so that they can work over their areas of development.
The audience, whom I was addressing, were the students of the intermediate final year. They were appearing for their pre-board examination. Every year, in the month of May, June or July, when the results are disclosed, along with this we do hear about the scandals, malpractices and illegal means applied by the students in some states of India. Who should be blamed for this?
a. Government
b. School or College authorities
c. Students
d. Parents
On seeing the kind of examination going on at RPM College, one can certainly prove that all the above stated are to be blamed. Government passes the ordinance but hardly there is a counter check to see or analyze whether the ordinance is duly practiced at the institutes or colleges or not? Schools and Colleges they receive the rules and they do understand that the role of any educational place is very significant. They nurture the knowledge skills which in turn boosts the confidence of the students. When they fail to exhibit or stand by the protocols issued by the government, it is the mere failure of the authorities of the school or college. Students do blame for every minute thing. But when it is the time to study hard and do gain knowledge for better career perspective, they are seen stepping back. They believe, by using some petty means or illegal sources they can easily get through the examination and score better marks.
But by just gaining the marks, why don’t the students understand that they are ultimately ruining their own career path. Even if they continue and apply for higher studies, lack of knowledge will create a hurdle. They may find it difficult to study further and could be one of the reasons for their dropout.
Parents who get their children admitted in the government colleges, hardly pays any heed, whether their child attends the college on regular basis, details of the classes and about their studies. I believe, if parents become active, for sure, the students will be under positive pressure and they can excel in studies, even if their education is going on in the government institutes or colleges.
When inquired about the facility which a student can avail by applying for Student Credit Card, students believed that it is very difficult to get any financial aid from the government which in fact is a myth these days. Informing the students, I urged the students to break the barriers and get rid of wrong notions. They must work on their communication skills, practice every day and develop the knowledge skills. Know about the facilities that they can avail from the government so that a child should no longer remain a burden upon the shoulder of their parents, rather they can stand on their feet and prove to be the pride of the family.
