I came across the following poster today while reading something on education... It honestly has some truth about it. Has real implications also for our formation, or more specifically, what we is taught, the attitude with which education is perceived (both by the students and teachers) and the whole purpose of education.
One stark difference I notice between students back in India and here is the perspective on education. While most graduates in India study - if at all, one can still use the term - merely for the marks or in obedience to their parents, students in the UK do so out of their own accord and for experience and knowledge. Hence their investment level is very high. Not that they are all saints and bookworms. Far from it. But they do study and take education seriously - students and teachers alike.
Students go to college, to study! This statement may seem odd, but is very true in the UK context. All the more true in the case of those attending university for their post-graduation or higher courses.
