This is the most difficult question that remains to be answered so far.
Millions of professionals churn out of different colleges and institutes in the country and still before so much so as to even get into the desired courses of study the youngster is asked by all n sundry..."what do you think you want to do in life, what do you want to be", "What do I want to be????â€
That opens the Pandora’s box one after the other thought come out, the grilling goes on and on, the poor 16 year old is made the sacrificial lamb, all through their school life they were never taught to be this or that because it is the school remember. All are treated equally!! Not once in fourteen years these were the topics discussed. There should have been some subjects which deal with such queries. This would not only help the child to choose his/her career much in advance but it will also relieve the parents of the after school tensions. They should conduct yearly aptitude tests for students from class eight onwards. Who can judge a student better than his/her own teacher?
I hope someday this tradition is started in all educational institutes for the betterment of young confused minds.....

If nothing else, i think it is asking for too much from the schools.
The country i come from has schools(Govt of course) where basic amenities are missing, and major chunk of population gets their education from such setups.
A large number of government schools do not even today have the minimal infrastructure such as sufficient class rooms, adequate teachers, appropriate laboratories, libraries or tables, benches, durries, Wherever, the laboratories or the libraries exist, they are essentially notional with hardly any equipment or books.
So essentially it seems the upbringing parents give to their child which is responsible for bringing out the best in him. It will take a long time before we can ask for such support from an average school in India.
Asking for too much!

I might be wrong here.. but that's my 2 cents.
