Albert Einstein once said:
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education"
It is usually said that whatever Einstein has said is pure gold. This famous quote from the great man is no different. In the modern society while on one side there is huge emphasis on education , on the other hand the act of learning has been buried deep under. Especially in the context of a developing country like India the greatest challenge is to integrate education with learning. The formal education system demands obedient, and not creative students. Students are forced to cram books rather than explore the world around them on scientific lines.
If Marx had commented on this subject, he would have said that students have been alienated from education. They consider education as a means to get a high paying job.
For Einstein learning was an end in itself and unless this means-end transformation is not reversed we should not expect to discover another Einstein.
