student's creative capacity

. Pulapre Balakrishnan has raised the real and serious issues affecting the creativity element in our Sri education system in his article,“The class room is instructor’s castle.”( 22.5.1) in the Hindu.  Steve Wozniac , the co founder of a Apple Computers  has commented about the creative aspect of our educational  system  only  recently, but it had been pointed out for a long time , by eminent Indian educational experts and also by DR. Amaratia Sen whenever  he had talked about crisis in Indian education sector. Right from primary up to PG and research level , the questioning  young minds are brutally crushed . Academic freedom is totally non existence in our education sector. Right from Union HRD minister till the principals level  the aim is to curb academic freedom in teaching and learning .Creative minded teachers who experiment  with any innovative pedagogic methods are  ridiculed and those who encourage rote learning and adopt out dated methods are awarded. There is no incentives for those teachers who attempt to sharpen the creative mind of the students . Even the so called think tanks of our nation are  crippling  free discussion with ridiculous rules guiding discussions  since,  it is  the norm in India  . The academic world is fully aware of the real merit of API in which maximum of window  dressing gimmicks are   resorted. The teachers are over loaded with the need to create and maintain  too  many records to satisfy too many regulatory bodies ,  headed by the UGC .To day’s students have fertile and questioning minds due to internet revolution  .But they are burdened with archaic teaching and learning process. Hence, the fault is not with the students  creativity capacity but , in the failure of our educational hierarchy to raise up to their expectation .
