It is not that textbooks are only expensive,it is colourless and dull.Therefore children can learn more without it. In those days education means whatever given in the textbook that tried to stuff in children's head and that same they should recollect it and write the same in the answer sheet. Because of this system children are deprived of real education. In such system, there is no room to spur their creativity and intelligence.Due to they stay away from real education of knowledge. Similarly our text based exam system is also responsible to the failure of the youth in those days. When teachers of Maths,Science,History and Geography go to the class with textbook like language teachers, that indicates the limitations of their teaching and also seems the incomplete knowledge of concepts. Then the result is the class remained undeveloped. Because lack of real and practical life experiences. This happens in our classes only we have given a lot of significance to textbooks. Instead of we should give importance to information on application and analysis eg. any language teacher wants to teach news/report writing in the class. What should he or she do ? He tells students or takes them to the places where incidents have been taking place. And tell them to collect information from various sources about incidents. It will be very fruitful for students to be familiar with the concept of news/ report. They can't understand it only by showing newspapers in the class.
Why do I say textbook free education?
Because there are many limitations to textbooks eg. Words,figures as well as pages limitations due to information have been stuffened in short in the textbooks so students don't get thorough information in it. Why should one depend on it?
One more important weakness of textbook I would like to share with you that's also important here. According to me,it is only textbook which creates stresses and strains among students because of its arrangement of information and language though students have to go through it because of our exams are text based. The consequences of this system is , our students are lagging behind at national and international levels. We must encourage them to go beyond textbook.
