#ShikshaInAncientBharat
I have highlighted the most important points with respect to Education issues in the past two articles. In this article, I, in collaboration with a friend who is Certified Career Development Facilitator, shall give a few suggestions for the way forward in seven – point suggestions.
7) Home Schooling – This system must be developed further for those who have enough money only to live in rowdy areas and cannot send their kids to govt schools due to the crowd. This helps in many ways, apart from saving a child from assault, bullying and exposure to obscenity. Home schooling can also be a very effective tool for those who have highly educated, unemployed mothers. This not only saves money, but provides best education to the child for they rightly say, “Mother Is The First Teacher, Mother Is The Best Teacher.”
6) Inclusion Of External Books in All Boards After Authorization From Education Ministry –
We’ve seen many external books being used by select schools. These books may contain material which is untrue and thus, give wrong education to your child. Hence, Inclusion of external books should be allowed only after proper verification at three levels and authorization by Education Ministry.
5) Reduce The Weightage Of Marks Given By Schools in Final Boards –
This evil must go away at the earliest. Parents must demand this, as otherwise their kids will never know which subjects they are really interested in and how they stand after correct evaluation.
4) Undo UPA educational reforms-
It’s crucial to undo all the blunders of UPA and I’m very glad to acknowledge the efforts of Modi govt in this direction. They have efficiently introduced chapters on real life achievers such as Mary Kom, Steve Jobs, Gurukul moral-based learnings and much more in both boards.
3) Selection Of Main Subjects –
This should be done when the child turns 10, so that important years of transition to teen age, which brings about a lot of changes in the child, are well utilized in a specific direction of growth and not spread so widely directionless that a grown up individual of 25 doesn’t know whether he should work in medical industry or in metallurgy. This clarity can be achieved by referring to ancient education systems of India.
2) Setting Up/Modification To Talent-based School Boards –
This shall help produce highly efficient individuals, as level of education will be higher due to specific goals and not a haywire approach as set by the erstwhile UPA govts. There will be wider scope of employment of Specialists as well as better quality of outputs and thus, a higher GDP for the country.
1) Career Counselling In Schools –
This is required to find out the budding talent of the child and thus, direct him in the right field. Parents should willingly come forward to bear the additional cost for this activity as it’ll steer the child towards his brightest prospects.
Please feel free to write any questions under this article and the writer shall respond. She is a Certified Career Development Facilitator, working with Dheya Careers since past three years and has an experience of guiding individuals ranging from 12 to 50 years of age, regarding their career paths.
