The modern system of education brought to India in 1835 by Lord Macauley is all about rat race. We need a complete overhaul.
Policy Points:

- Day boarding gurukuls upto 6th standard — all skills, no exams.
- Every family must get an education security card.
- No exams until 6th grade — teach cooperation not competition.
