Over the years, with competition getting tougher every year and seats getting fewer in college, the education system has still not changed. Here is a look into the current education system in India and how we need to change it. To deliberate on the purpose of education of education, let’ s go by tracing its roots. It is popularity known to be derived from the Latin word ‘ edu co ’‐which means ‘to educe ’ or draw out’. There are some other root words too, like, ‘Educare ’ which means ‘to bring up ’ and ‘Educare ’ which means ‘to draw out from within ’. Education, rather a good and purposeful education, should act as a stimulant for a students ’ mind. It should be able to draw the students to correlate what they read in the text‐books with the real world around them.  Educating a child is not filling up his mind with all kinds of facts and figures, but to ignite his/her mind to find, explore, analyze and learn. The vital need is to develop love for learning and interest to know mor...

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand. In a school research project, in their response to the single most preferred mode of learning, learners indicated a strong preference for doing or performing or experiencing learning beyond classroom. The single most preferred mode was learning by doing for 65.2%, learning by seeing for 21.2%, learning by discussing for 11.3% and learning by hearing for 2%. The big question is – “Why would children or for that matter anyone want to learn something?” It may be when they find it interesting, important and relevant. A lecture on area and perimeter in a mathematics class OR a textbook reading on inclined plane Vs plain surfaces OR writing a mundane stereotype letter, learning it by rote and reproducing the same in an ‘exam’ and many such conventional ‘academic practices’, year after year neither arouse interest nor display any relevance in the real life. However, taking the boys and girls to the basket­ball court with a m...

Many children often share their concerns that they study hard and study a lot but still do not do as well as they desire to. All hard work must lead to some desirable output & therefore “Effective Study Counts”. Many children lack the self­awareness about their own learning pattern. Learn about your own personality type, strengths and challenges, be systematic, organized and consistent & above all be responsible for yourself. You may start with these easy steps. Know your learning style: (Visual learners learn by seeing, Auditory learners learn by hearing, Kinesthetic learners learn by doing. One may be a combination of three styles) Set long term and short term study targets for yourself. Make realistic study­plan & timetables by managing time for all kind of realistic activities which you ‘must’ do. Make a ‘to do’ list daily & on that prioritize the tasks. Use ‘spare time’ productively. For example: Read while going back from school to home by bus. Try to finish your...
