The so-called 'uniform curriculum:
Our desire to mold the free citizens of this country is very old. But unfortunately there is no template in which we can adapt these 220 million human beings to robots. Such templates are for tap-making factories, not for thinking human beings. When it comes to this, the slogan of uniform curriculum is changed to the slogan of uniform education system. Then this question does not remain of the education system but this question becomes of class distinction. Compared to government hospitals, government schools and government buses, who wouldn't want to have a five-star hospital, a grammar school and a private luxury car when needed! These words written on paper are meaningless.
Don't be fooled into believing that the children of the whole nation should be taught the same books in order to develop a national mindset, even if we teach our children official textbooks or expensive Oxford books. It will happen unless we do two things. One is the role of children in school, the other is the freedom to ask questions and develop critical awareness.
Currently, both of these tasks are not part of our priorities. Parents only see grades in the child's result card, there is no character building paper anyway and no school gives any rating about it. As for questioning, the way we treat questioners, then there will be a fool who will question while living in this country. After that, whatever you teach will result in the creation of robots. If a nation is formed from them, then make them.
