Intrinsic value is something where we do an action for the sake of doing an action, the purpose and the result is in the doing of the action, instrumental value is doing something for getting something else, that is the success or the failure of the action depends on what you derive at the end of it.
It will on the outset look that anything done with intrinsic value will also get us the instrumental value, but unfortunately it is not the case. If the student prepares for an exam, he is suppose to understand the subject and express is understanding, on the evaluation of the expression he should be graded and given marks, thanks to the evaluation system that we follow, it does not test the understanding but it tests the ability to reveal things as if one has understood. Once upon a time, a student who scores like this in the school and goes to the college, he may find it difficult to understand and therefore will try to understand atleast then, but, today, thanks to the autonomous institutions, they do not understand even in the college and go beyond it, then in some companies they are not able to work and cope with the expectations, but again there are a lot of companies, which has got space in the bench for such people. The ignorance continues.
Thanks to autonomy, freedom and the convenience of mediocrity, things are thriving midst ignorance.
I am also not sure, whether we should change this system, ignorance is bliss, with knowledge and intelligence only the crookedness of the people get sharpened and it does not seem that the goodness of the people get better.
