Indian education system missing Higher-Order Thinking Skills(HOTS)

Throughout ancient India, teachers have been respected a lot. Some of the teachers have produced some great students. According to me a teacher

• Builds self awareness, unleashes inner potential and gives contents of things when it is right
• Should have Right intent compared to right content
• Has the ability to create "creators" and "destroyers"

But our education system has not been built upon this lineage to build great institutes.

During one of the training programs i was introduced to the concept of LOTS (least order thinking skills) and HOTS. The concepts of the study were interesting.  It is during the discussion, i realized that baring very few institutes most Indian institutes lack HOTS

Lot of our education system rarely focus on

• Dismantling the a problems into parts - Analysis
• Build a new output from different types in inputs - Synthesis
• Check different ideas & solutions and then compare - Evaluate
