Welcome to Jed-i Explore! Here, we're all about making learning fun and exciting. Forget
about just memorizing answers for a test. We want you to ask questions, make mistakes,
and find out how things really work.
We identify three main problems with the current education system:
-
Memorization Over Mastery
The Indian education system is historically known for its emphasis on rote
learning. The philosophy that "Memory sidesteps reasoning from first principles"
aptly captures this approach. Instead of encouraging students to deeply
understand and critically think about foundational concepts, the system often
prioritizes memorizing facts. While this might help in short-term academic
achievements, it overshadows the importance of genuine comprehension and
application.
-
Lack of Patience
The ticking clock is often a student's biggest foe. With limited time in exams,
shortcuts become tempting. Why dive deep when a quick trick can give the answer?
Over time, this reliance on shortcuts, born from time pressure, becomes a habit.
As a result, memory takes precedence over true understanding. Memory offers
quick answers; understanding demands time and patience. And so, in the race
against time, the essence of learning often gets left behind.

Embracing the Journey, Not Just the Answer
For many students, a single hiccup in problem solving can feel like hitting a
brick wall. The initial idea doesn't pan out, and they're quick to label
themselves as 'not getting it'. But real understanding and discovery often lie
beyond the first, or even second, attempt. Each wrong turn isn't a sign of
failure; it's a step in the intricate dance of learning. Embracing these
missteps and realizing they're part of the larger process can transform fear of
failure into a love for the journey of understanding.
