*Educational scenario in Mizoram*
The educational scenario in Mizoram today as viewed from the angle of literacy is very promising-at 91.58% and stands 2nd among the states in India,next only to Kerela,according to the 2011 Census.It is really not a figure we can much be proud of as education should be viewed from the angle of its contribution in improving the quality of life the people and thereby eradicating poverty and accelerating econimic growth,in which Mizoram is lagging behind.The results in the increase in unemployed graduates every year.The first formal education was started in 1894 by two British Christian Missionaries at Aizawl.They taught only two select students whom they could trust for further teaching and their own evangelism.The first government scjool was started in 1897 at Aizawl.The first middle school opened in 1906,and secondary school in 1944.
Before education reached Mizoram,Mizo's tribes are known as head hunters ,the Mizo religion just like other religions of tribal ethnic groups appears ceremonies and sacrifies.It is also seen that they believe on retribution in one form or another after the enemies were killed.The primeval Mizo religion was perhaps 300 years old and had Gods and spirits.The celestial being was "Pu Vana"(Father of Heaven),"Vanhrika"(Heavenly being)."Vanchung Nula"(Damsel the heaven)was active and has contract with the human beings.These celestial beings was highly revered in the traditional Mizo society as these celestial being had good contact with the human beings.They believe in khuanu means "Mother of nature".She is the wife of "Pathian" and is benevolent to human.She was believed tonbe the goddess who always blessed humankind as a mother does.They believed in other like khuavang,khaltu a guardian spritit,ramhuai spirit of the forest,hmuithla spirit that trouble human beings and animals,phung that causes huamn to suffer from insanity and epilepsy,khawlhring sprits bewitched food and drinks.If someone believed to be possesed by "Khawlhring" killing that person was almost legal.The study reveals that the Mizo's had a traditional religion of their own.The primeval religion was full of God's Gods and spirit.The primeval religion was full of Gods and spirits.These spirits are divided into two,good spirits and bad spirits.Good spirits are the one who do good to human or at least did not harm them,on the other hand the bad spirtis are harmful and even fatal at times.They also haunt for human and animals.The Mizo's had a great fear for the evil spirits and offered sacrifies to escape than their evil eye.
However,they had a presentation of everything that happen in the society.Every sphere of their life is connected to spirits,either good or bad.Though the Mizo's had no education during the pre-British days,they had a novel way of making their men,it was mandary on all Mizo youths over age 15 to stay in Bachelors's dormitories,known as Zawlbuk where they received education.The Mizo's who developed a new outlook under Christian influence,felt their own homes were a better place for their young generations they slowly abandoned the Zawlbuk after the first school was establish in McDonald Hill,Aizawl on April 1894.
*modernisation of Education in Mizoram*
We are living in the situation of advanced 21st centur,currenty everything is now technological items,social media,television,gaming etc.We could not abandon the advancement they are linked to our everyday life cycle like a food-chain,so it can be used in a bad or good ways.The development are swift due to scientist skills,there is more a huge gap betwixt the penurious and the rich ones.The main aim of education "Quality of education" is now scarce a degree can be sold without formal education in different illegal areas.Mizoram is one of the highest educated after Kerela.But true education is scarce unemployed degree holders are rise,we need to tranform a quantity education to quality education.
Mizoram need a quality education,not by recollecting the words understanding education needs to be first priority not to the marks.Development does not need marks it needs a quality a skill educated individual for solving the problems of a scarcity life.Mizoram needs to go back to the origin of education the quality not quantity only that can change the nation.Everything are technologies we need to read a book,social media influencing does not lead much to success a modernization leads a student indolent.They used social media more than books they spend their time on phones,by refusing wisdom crafty books.They develop quantity rather than quality,the system of Mizoram education level is failed espicially under graduate students.
Education is the main core a ray of light in the darkness for every religion.It certainly is a hope for a good life.Education is a basic right of every Human on this Planet.To deny this right is evil.Uneducated youth is the worst thing for Humanity.Above all,the governments of all countries must ensure to spread Education.
"Education is the key to seccess".
