Different Factors Behind the Unrest of the Students

By Hathib k.k.

Defective Admission Procedure.The limited time allotted to join a course

just after passing the previous course makes the students do a lot of things together, which often creates stress as well as confusion in their mind. The technical failures and the idle nature of the different officials also create problems to them.

Uncertainty of the future.Current educational system hardly offers any sort of concrete goal or objective before the students. They are moving forward in a desert without keeping a single leaf of hop in them that they would reach an oasis.

Irresponsible ParentsMost Parents hardly pay any sort of attention to the study related aspects of their sons and daughters. They rarely provides any kind of motivation.

Faulty Teaching MethodsTeachers are not able to arouse interest in students, as they often make use of outdated methods and techniques like lecture method and question answer method without giving due regard to the taste of the students. This attitude creates hatred in students towards the whole educational system

By Hathib k.k.

Indifferent TeachersTeachers are bothered about qualification, not about their quality. They lack commitment and professionalism. Most of them are not ready to update knowledge or to widen their skills for improving teaching. They behave towards the students just as strangers that they fail to inject any sort of inspiration in students.

Illogical & Inaccurate CurriculumThe curriculum does not render modern outlook that they are filled with outdated information and uninteresting content materials which does not create any sort of curiosity in students.

Lack of Necessary FacilitiesThe administrators of most institutions do not provide even the most necessary facilities for their students, though they collect high amount of fees without fail. The students always keep a feeling that they are cheated by the administrators, and wait for an opportunity for the avenge.

Defective Examination SystemThe classroom transaction is centered around the questions that are likely to be included in the question paper . The one and only aim of all the sorts of courses is to pass in the examination with high grade. Rote memorization and information collecting make the whole system dry and dull.

Value Crisis in the SocietyThe new generation trends have fetched damn anarchical atmosphere in the society that the youngsters are not ready to respect any one in the society so that teachers often become helpless in controlling them.

Drug Abuse among the YouthThe modern materialistic views of life has created a notion that life is to be enjoyed at any cost. So no means is mean to reach this goal of enjoyment. The anti-social people are often misusing the youngsters by misleading them to drug abuse and consumption of alcoholic products.

Unnecessary Interference of Politicians Student’s politics is not the desirable,

because it offers an opportunity to enhance leadership and communication skill. But the interference of the outer politics make the scene worst that students are often used as weapons for some crooked people to execute their hidden agendas in campus.
