What are we really learning?

Is today’s education system helping students grow… or just pushing them to chase marks?

In this episode of BetterNow Podcast, host Anurag Shirahatti sits down with Dr. Prakash Kadakol, a college principal known for his discipline and strong perspective on education. Together, they explore the deeper reality of the system — from strictness, attendance, and authority to mental health, fear vs respect, and the true purpose of learning.

The conversation also dives into important questions like:
– Do marks really define intelligence?
– Is discipline more important than empathy?
– Skills vs degrees — what matters more today?
– Is social media increasing loneliness among students?
– Are we preparing students for life… or just exams?

This episode is a must-listen for students, educators, and anyone questioning how education shapes our future.
