standard of education today

standard of education has increased considerably in india in the last decade or so with computerisation and implmentation of computer aided teaching in the schools. Children enjoy the methods today which is partly audio-visual and partly conventional using what is known as smart class which is a web based white board and another is blackboard which has been used down the ages.
But the moot question is are the children able to perform in their exams where hours of written work and recollection of notes and ideas is a must.
Somestimes I feel the conventional method of teaching is a must for the primary classes upto class 5 wherein they learn the concepts of the subject in the traditional manner which has been carried forward down the ages and it has been successful also. How then shall we explain the number of IAS officers and other government exams are cleared by the students of the rural areas and from government schools rather than by the students of the public schools? One the students of rural areas and government schools are known to live in adverse circumstances and learn to adjust anywhere while those of the public schools are lacking in it and hence are unable to put in the hard work required to pass such tough exams though exceptions do exist.
Through web based education and computer aided teaching intellect do develop for it to materialise into a full fledged academic success is a distant dream if not very distant. Unless the government will come out with changes in the examination pattern in the near future. with all the save paper save tree slogan rummomg the ground maybe that will also be possible. Until then let us stick to both the methods of teaching in our schools which will benefit the students to face the practical realities of life much better.
