‘Stop Manufacturing Us!’ (aka SMU!) is a student-initiated Online Journal that pertains to the Indian Education System (IES). Our journal is a common platform which offers students, educators and anyone concerned with our education system the opportunity to publish their thoughts/opinions/experiences/ideas/suggestions regarding the IES.
A word about the title - We represent the common student and the title ‘Stop Manufacturing Us!’ is an authoritative command from us to stop the consequences of and revolutionize the atrociously poor quality of education that even the most privileged of us in India receive. Though this is the foundational inspiration behind our initiative, be assured that our journal is egalitarian and candid in every possible way and does not try to indoctrinate this viewpoint in anyone. Thus, if you approach us with an article on the positives of IES and we find your article to be rational and sensible, we'll only be glad to publish it.
Our Missions
“Towards stirring a revolution in education” is our motto. But we do not claim to be anywhere near our destination. We’re merely in the beginning (or rather, the first phase) of our journey towards stirring a revolution.
We understand that it is not possible to solve a problem, or in our case, stir a revolution, without clearly understanding the intricacies the issue at hand possesses. Therefore, as phase one in our objective, we strive to enlighten everyone with the knowledge of the intricacies of the various issues that the IES faces by inviting competent minds to write on what they know best about IES. In the beginning these “competent minds” would be someone within our immediate reach and general readers like you. But soon, as we expand, as we surely will, we will invite notable educational activists, reformers, concerned educators, journalists, experts and figures of such calibre to write on different aspects of the issue. And before we know it, we’ll have a rich reserve of constructive criticism, knowledge, ideas and solutions.
We also aim to be a common platform where sensible thinkers have the opportunity to discuss their opinions and ideas and engage in debates regarding education. As we put it, all you need are a mind of your own and a voice and we’ll provide the stage and the audience to air your opinions.
