‘Approach towards education should not be static’ Reforms in education I strongly believe that a static approach towards the education system hinders much needed perpetual growth and advancement in the field of education. Changes is the buzzword in today's global education scenario. To keep pace with the fast changing educational system, the most significant change required in the system is to bring in the importance of human resource (teachers). At the same time teachers should be made acquaintable for their performances in the class. On Tuition Today, the coaching classes and private tuitions have become a hold up route for making easy money by a few people. These people lure the gullible students and trap them with utterly false promises of achieving excellent performance in examination. I am absolutely certain that there is no shortcut in achieving real success in the examinations. If the students are sincere and serious in following the class teachings then there is no need for going for private tuitions of joining coaching classes.
On Classroom teaching In the classroom the teacher should be provided with all the modern teaching aids/facilities such as OHP, Multimedia Projectors, Computers connected to the Internet to enable them to widen their knowledge base and to give the best to their students. It would further be appreciated if we can create class-room library system.
On school and the students According to Mrs. Ranjeet Bedi, Principal of the School, education is an all round development and drawing out the best in a child. The School instills in them a sense of true discipline, which will make them an ideal citizen having knowledge, perception and wisdom together. The School delivers defect-free education. It takes special care in developing the latent potentials of the students in multi - directional activities like sports, extracurricular activities etc. The School does not believe in getting scores only, but its' students make people pay attention, talk and dominate like leaders, win arguments and become sought after. The right balance between the studies and extra - curricular activities are the plus- points of the school. |

WORLD “Cognito ergo sum”-- ‘I think therefore I exist’ is the famous sentence of Descartes which led Western man to equate his identity with his mind, instead of with his whole organism. Most individuals are aware of themselves as isolated egos existing inside their bodies. The mind has been separated from the body and given the futile task of controlling it, thus causing an apparent conflict between the conscious will and involuntary instincts. Observing from close quarters, I discovered that each child under our care seemed to have been split up into a large number of separate compartments, according to his or her activities, talents, beliefs and feelings which are engaged in endless conflicts generating continuous confusion and frustration. This inner fragmentation of a child mirrors his/her view of the world outside which is seen as a multitude of separate objects and events. This fragmented view is further extended to the society. To bring about an emotional and intellectual transformation, we need to introduce a system of education and training of young minds aiming at a lot of harmony. For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony or lack of it. Nature seeks harmony because it is through harmony that nature has solved and seeks always to solve better with greater complexities of life. We must always remember that the animal is a living laboratory in which nature has worked out a child. This child has to be nurtured and evolved into its sublimate form and, thus, attains its full potential and dignity. All institutions of excellence should cast and recast syllabi to cater to needs of such aspirations of higher excellence in students. We must tell ourselves and persuade others to be partners in pursuit of excellence only. As against the devastating effects of mechanical culture of INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. We also need to care preserving our ancient mode of intuitive learning. For example, Eastern art forms are forms of meditation. They are not so much means of expressing the artist’s ideas as ways of realization through the development of intuitive mode of learning. Indian music is not learned by reading notes, but by listening to the play of the teacher and thus developing a feeling for the music, just as the Ta’i Chi movements are not learned by instructions but by doing them over and over again in unison of the teacher. Japanese tea ceremonies are full of slow ritualistic movements; Chinese calligraphy requires the inhibited, spontaneous movement of the hand. All these skills are used in the East to develop the meditative mode of learning. This gives our children the still mind of a sage which is a mirror of heaven and earth- the glass of all things. This is also the way of the Hindu yoga. The rhythmical movements can lead the child to the same feeling of peace and serenity which is characteristic of some sports. In my experience, for example, Skiing has been a highly rewarding form of meditation. This can be experienced in a direct way without the filter of conceptual thinking. It is vital for us, as parents and teachers around our children’s life, to look into such possibilities in schools – mushrooming in and around our city, and work in unison for emotional, intellectual and intuitive growth of children. *O. N. Dikshit, Chairman-Dikshant Education Society and former Principal, The Scindia School, Gwalior. |
