Our Education System has become obsolete. The extremely less significance given to subjects that allow introspection is proving detrimental to the all-round development of children in the current generation.
In this episode , you will learn the reason why the Education System doesn't work. This is my opinion, as someone who has been a part of the entire "default path" that the system expects you to walk on.
It is inevitable for the children of this generation to learn about the fundamentals of Essentialism. Otherwise, they will get overwhelmed by the multitude of everything and be unable to differentiate what is important from what is not.
The problem with our current Education System is that it is only outward-oriented and not at all inward-oriented.
The solution to this problem is introduction of the following in the curriculum:
1. Spirituality Subjects: that educate children on fundamental concepts of existence and non-duality
2. Psychology Subjects: that allow them to learn how the mind works. And how the mind tricks you into getting distracted over small things over and over again. Also, the importance of mental health and how mental health should be treated just like a physical ailment without any form of stigma surrounding it. About Being open with their parents or guardian about any issue they are going through.
3. Study of Ancient Scriptures like the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Guru Granth Sahib, etc.
4. Practical mindfulness sessions: that children look up-to in the course of the day and not something they have to do to simply get a grade
5. Yoga Sessions: For a strong foundation on the importance of stretching and correct posture
6. Subjects that educate on the pros and cons of social media. How social media can make people achieve wonders when used correctly, but the same platforms can be used to mentally abuse and sometimes even cause physical scars on the child that will impede growth for the rest of their life.
Now, how can you help? Well, the easiest thing you can do to help this situation is by becoming an instrument for spreading awareness. If you agree with the content of this podcast, share it as much as you can so that it ends up reaching the people who can actually make a difference in the curriculum.
