Today the primary reason why a child is pushed into a school at the tender age of 3 is not that the parents want him to attain knowledge; it is because they are ar afraid that their child will be "left-behind" other children who are actually going through the same mindless routine. It is a common sight to see small kids carrying really heavy bags to and from school, which actually stunts their physical development. Similarly the most prevalent psychology among student today is to fight intense competition for a certain degree to get a certain job. In this way, education has become highly commercialized and almost like a business today, with institutes charging very high fees for their degrees which promise good placements because they have "tie-ups" with the companies. But still they are leaving their jobs after 3-4 months or most of them are not satisfied. Currently, a majority of students are going into institutes which have good marketing and advertising strategy and make lofty promises to entice people during admission times. So people are not influenced by the teachers and the quality of teaching but by the advertisements and promotional campaigns being run by the institute.
