Education for Equality starts with Equality in Education

We all understand how important education is in determining the quality of our lives and that without a purposeful education, the career goals we have in mind are in vain. However, there has been a serious problem with the quality of education and the way it is delivered in our country due to differences in gender and economic status. Numerous issues plague the Indian educational system, which needs to reform if learning is to be improved. What are we seeking to do, for whom, and to what standards? Is where the process begins. Research demonstrates that curricula, examinations, teacher behaviors, and even desired results can differ dramatically among top-performing school systems, but they all have one thing in common – They all focus equally on every child, regardless of ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, or region. “Communities and the country as a whole will advance if better education will be provided to all. There are so many young people in India who are eager to work but l

Enhancing Soft Skills & Personality in Students

It’s the newest educational buzzword in India. Everyone is speaking out about the crucial relevance of life skills education at the moment, including school and college administrations, principals, instructors, education specialists, parents, students, and even businesses. “Although academic learning is the cornerstone of education, a wonderful school experience extends well beyond merely being knowledgeable about the subject matter. We must provide pupils with more than just a body of information that is reflected on a piece of paper. Giving them the skills they require will enable them to be resourceful in a socially conscious manner, to create with a team of colleagues rather than just by themselves in a lab, and to change course when new demands are made.” says Anoop Singh Bishnoi , Chairman of The Doon School, Dehradun. Experienced teachers are aware that the highest academic performers aren’t usually the ones who have an uncanny knack for memorizing lengthy passages of Shakespear

Impact of Social Media on Students

The majority of people’s lives are now centered around social media, which has an impact on how we work, live, and most recently, how we study. The advantages of adopting social media in the classroom have been recognized by educators and administrators. However, how do social media platforms affect education? Social media platforms can be used as active learning tools, allowing students to learn in their own unique ways as opposed to only absorbing knowledge. “Social media can be directed and fostered in a school setting to improve learning outcomes and critical awareness. It may also provide students more freedom to socialize and work together outside of the classroom. Furthermore, exchanging information with classmates fosters a greater sense of community among students and can serve as a powerful incentive because it encourages students to put more effort into their work because they know it will be discussed on social media,” says Anoop Singh Bishnoi , Chairman of The Doon School,

To Ensure a Safe Environment at School

According to experts, kids are still picking up on societal and social behavior during their formative years and may not be particularly aware of what behavior is appropriate and what isn’t. They add that in order to keep them secure, they need to learn a number of lessons. In their formative years, children must learn about “safe” and “unsafe” touch, especially at a time when younger children are increasingly being sexually attacked and mistreated. “It worries me to read frequent headlines that raise concerns about a child’s safety on various fronts as a parent and an educator. They serve as a reminder of how vulnerable young children, especially girls are when they go to other cities to compete in tournaments or participate in field excursions, when they ride in school buses, or even when they are targeted at their own schools in overt and covert ways,” says Anoop Singh Bishnoi . In rural schools, where sometimes poor infrastructure not even includes restrooms, the technical safety

Poverty and Education are Inextricably Linked

Many of us believe that poverty is solely due to a lack of education. This, however, is not the case. To understand how uneducated people can become wealthy while educated people remain poor, we must be compassionate and recognize that everyone’s struggles are unique. Poverty is a complex and entrenched social problem, but it is not caused by a lack of education. The true cause of poverty is a lack of productivity, which is caused by low literacy rates caused by a lack of education. That is why children are dropping out at a younger and younger age. More than a billion people live in extreme poverty around the world. There is a scarcity of food and water, and as a result, life and development are difficult for them. These people, however, do not lack the ability or motivation to work; they lack sufficient education and thus cannot earn money. They live as children who, as they grow older, will marry and have children who, if given access to education and become informed about the ways
