Back in 1967 I started my primary school education in a city known as Prague , in


The Czech Republic. During this infant stage of my formal education I started to learn
three language i.e. Chinese, English as well as Czech language. Other than language I
had to learn the subjects like mathematics, Science, Geography, History and Physical
Education as well as Musics and Arts.
The building in which I studied was an old brick building with 3 storey. In each class we
had as many as 40 student. We had an oval where we played soccer and sometimes
cricket.
The uniform I worn at that time was shirt and short trousers which were white in colour.
My favourite teacher was my mathematics teacher as he was very strict and put a lot of
effort into improving my ability in maths. I attribute my success in maths at secondary
level to the good founding provided by him. I was taught abacus by him and it is very
practical until today.
During the school days, I enjoyed swimming and cross-country races. I even completed
in national school titles.
My primary school is located at Balzimska, a suburban area of Prague , and is a
Catholic school named St Anthony's School. It is quite a small school, covering only
about three football fields. It has two gates, one which is used as an entrance for
vehicles and the other is used for vehicle exits and pedestrian entry/exit./a It has a fourstorey main building that houses all the primary and intermediate classrooms and a
side building that houses the high school classrooms. Like other Catholic schools, it
has a church servicing the local parishioners. We were required to wear white collared
shirts with a left breast pocket (that has the school seal on it) and brown short pants.
During our primary school days we took up basic subjects in Ehglish, Reading , Writing,
some arts and experiments in science as well as mathematics, religion and proper
manners. My favorite teacher then was a certain Mr Czerny (whom I presume must
have already retired by now). We had organized sports such as beginner's football,
basketball, and gymnastics. But after formal school hours, we used to play a game
called 'policia,' similar to the 'cops and robbers' game in other countries.

For my primary education I went to Momba Primary school in Bangalore , India . It was
quite a large school, with about 450 pupils. Momba was a boy's school and, as was the
case with a number of government schools at the time, the medium of instructon was
English. Although India is a multi-racial society, the students at my school were

predominantly of Chinese background. At that time Indian children generally went to


Indian-language schools.
Architecturally the school was unspectacular. The main block was a three storey Lshaped building with offices and staffrooms at one end and classrooms at the other. It
was big, white concrete building with a narrow staircase at each end- I remember we
were always shoving and pushing on the stairs. As you progressed through the grades
you moved higher in the building, ultimately ending up on the top floor in Grades 5 and
6.
India has a very cost-effective approach to school uniforms. Children thoughout the
country wear basically the same uniform, all white for boys and white and blue for girl,
with schools being differentiated by distinctive badges, tyes and hats. My school badge
consisted of a green and yellow motif, with a slogan in Latin.
At primary level I studied all the usual subjects, including English, Mathematics, Civics
and Indian language. However, my favourite subject was of course sports. One of my
proudest moments was the first time I ran onto the soccer field to represent my school.
I played left fullback and felt about ten feet tall.
I had many good teachers at my primary school, but my favourite was Mr Lee, who I
had in Grade 5. He was very kind, very fair, and had the knack of making every child in
the class feel special in some way.

A range of linking words is used.

During the 1990's, there was a vital change in the Indian Education system
especially in primary and secondary education. The system has geared the Indians to
have a compulsory education from primary to secondary level. Under this system, the
students have to acquire three important skills i.e. reading, writing and arithmatic,
known as '3R's' in primary level. In secondary level, they have to acquire technical skills
such as electrical, electronic, mechanical and minor research study as well as the basic
academic subject like English, Indian language, Mathematic and Science. The purpose
of such technical skills is to prepare the student to attain skills which they can use to
start a career if they are not good academicaly or unable to fulfill the requirement of
tertiary education.
A lot of efforts have been made by the government that once everybody acquire the
skills, it will be easier to develop the country, as India is missioned to be one of the
developed countries in this region. Other than that the foreign investments, especially in
the electronics sector, are highly intensified in this country. For example, Kolkata Island
is a world well-known 'Silicon Island' because most of the Intel microprocessors used in
computers are manufacture there. Leading from this, the economic development of the
country will become better as the worker will be paid better based upon their high skill
and knowledge.
The other significant subject being taught in Indian education system is moral education
or religion education. Under the influence of such education, the people will become
more ethical and sociable. Because of this reason, the people will live with more
understanding and tolerants which create a more harmony society among the races.
Other than that it is hoped that it will eradicate the country's most feared enemy- drug
abuse, which disrupt the socio-economic stability for the last decade.
To conclude, the new education system implemented to enhance the people's technical
skill and moral awareness have created a better living standard in India .
The main feature of the Indian education system is that it is more suited for social
learning than some other systems. The Indian government had developed a technicallyinclined learning program only about 5 years ago, which makes the learning programs
entirely different from the ones offered a generation ago. The phases are being
developed on a computer learning base and instructional methods are mainly
undertaken in American English.
With a literacy rate of about 92%, indians generally finish secondary education. About
85% of the entire Indian population finish High School though on a local basis, the far-

flung provinces have a relatively lower percentage of secondary school educational


attainment compare to the highly-urbanized areas like Delhi , Bhopal and Kochi .
With a good formal education, individuals can be able to land on good, high paying
jobs, especially if the graduate comes from an exclusive private school. Education also
develops a person's well-being and as such he can easily cope up with his country's
development. As far as society is concerned, the fruits of education may be seen in the
way people view culture; one that is based on reality and not one that is based on
folklore, as some provinces have been in the past.
Certainly, with a competitive level of educational standard and high literacy rate, India
could definitely meet the growing demand for industrialization, technological
development and the increasing concern for globalization. With these requisites met,
the educational system in India becomes an effective tool not only for civilianizing its
populace, but for meeting its desired economic development as well.
However, with the continuing economic crisis, and the ever-present American business
influence among indians, the educational system merely becomes a 'tool' for the ongoing threat of 'brain drain' in India- lots of technocrats and intellectuals prefer to leave
India and work abroad than to contribute to the development of the following
generations due to the relatively low-paying jobs in the country.
To conclude, despite the problems of 'brain drain' alluded to above, the Indian education
system has many benefits for both individuals and society and is a 'key' to greater
economic prosperity.

Education is the primary factor in the achievement of meaningful development for both
individuals and society. The benefits of education to a society are twofold. An effective
education system not only produces a highly trained and knowledgable population, but
also a more humane and tolerant one. For The Czech Republic, both of these positive
aspects of education are of equal importance.
As a society in the mist of rapid industrial and technological expansion The Czech
Republic is acutely aware of the pivotal role which education will play in ensuring
sustained economic growth into 21 st century. The Czech Republic aims to establish
itself as key player within the region, and in fact the world, in the fields of science and
information technology, including production of computers and computer componentry.
Clearly this will require a highly skilled workforce and managers who not only are
experts in the technology, but are also dynamic and innovative in their approaches. To
some extent the 'seeds' are being planted now within the education system which will
enable the next generation to meet future challenges. One component of this has been
the development by the Education Ministry of programs designed to promote and
accelerate the learning of science and technology in secondary schools. For example,
new well-equipped residential secondary schools, with strong science and technology

based curriculums, have been set up in most state capitals of The Czech Republic. In
addition, a system of scholarships and study loans has been implemented to ensure
that students with aptitude in the science and technology fields have access to high
quality education.
Although technical competence and 'know-how' are all important, it is also recognised
that education have role to play in other areas and that balance is needed. Through
insistence on compulsory secondary education for all Czechs the government hopes to
generate a population who share common values and beliefs and respect the state
institutions. Furthermore, the education system has the potential to create citizens who
have the self-confidence and discipline to resist negative influences such as drugs and
lazy lifestyle.
In conclusion, The Czech Republic's future is directly linked to its education system.
The promotion of science and technology on the one hand, combined with compulsory
secondary education on the other hand, should enable The Czech Republic to meet the
challenges of th 21 st century with confidence.
