Children today are safer than ever before in a variety of ways. Better public safety, less “stranger danger,” and more logic however the twenty-first century brings new challenges to child safety, particularly when considering the digital environment. Children are voracious consumers of digital technologies. Despite all of the opportunities provided by the digital world, such as playing, learning, and socializing, digital engagement poses risks to children’s safety that can have real-world consequences. Many risks in the digital world are analogous to those in the physical world. Bullies can reach their victims online just as easily as they can in the schoolyard. Children can be exposed to hate speech and racism through the virtual games they play, videos they watch, and communication apps they use. Some risks, however, are more specific to the digital environment, such as sending or receiving sexually explicit messages online, or the use and misuse of children’s data. Pop-ups in app

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, mental health has become a buzzword, and the awareness couldn’t have come at a better time. While the pandemic isolated the world’s population and focused attention on the self, mental well-being took the backseat; thanks to the modern lifestyle that disconnects us from ourselves, others, and nature. According to a recent NCERT survey, 81% of students attribute their anxiety to studies, exams, and results. Around half of all mental health problems in people appear by the age of 14, and one-third by the age of 25. Parental pressure, peer pressure arising from comparison by themselves or others, study and exam anxiety, bullying, gender dysphoria, substance abuse, relationship problems, and so on are common issues at this age that aggravate mental health issues. It Is a parent’s responsibility to be responsible for their child. This should include getting them the assistance they require. During the school year, however, students spend a signif

Social media has transformed the way we connect and communicate with one another both in our personal and professional lives. Teachers and administrators have recognized the value of social media in education. The best teachers are now embracing social media’s role in the classroom. If you ask what impact does social media have on education? The most significant advantage is engagement. “Many of us did not have to learn how to use social media safely and effectively as children. However, it is a reality for today’s children. The power they now wield did not previously exist. And that comes with awesome responsibilities as well as awesome consequences, which is why they need to be taught the ins and outs of the internet world.” Says Anoop Singh Bishnoi . Furthermore, the majority of social networking sites and resources are free! This is especially useful if you are a teacher with a limited budget for materials. It's not just beneficial to students. Social media can aid in the dev

What matters most when looking for work’ is a debate as old as higher education itself. Higher education is caught in a perplexing quandary. On the one hand, employers have expressed growing concern about the gap between education and employability. On the other hand, the cost of higher education is rapidly rising. It should come as no surprise that public perception of higher education in India has deteriorated in recent years, and academic institutions are embroiled in an increasingly polarized debate. The health of many academic institutions in India is precarious, indicating that structural issues are deeply ingrained. “One thing is certain: we are entering an era in which education is a lifelong endeavor. With today’s rapid pace of change, there are fewer and fewer jobs where you can expect the knowledge you gain in school or university to last you until retirement.” Says Anoop Singh Bishnoi, Chairman of The Doon School, Dehradun. “The point I want to make is that the people w

  The fight for women’s rights dates back centuries, with movements of various sizes and shapes spanning generations of activists from every country around the world. One constant, however, has been the importance of education in driving progress for women’s and girls’ rights. Today, nearly two out of every three girls attend secondary school, compared to one out of every two in 1998, and two out of every three countries worldwide have achieved gender parity in primary education. Despite these gains, over 130 million girls worldwide are currently out of school. When girls do make it through the school gates, they are far too often the first to drop out, the first to be let down by the system. “To advance gender equality, a radically new and gender transformative approach to education is required. Gender equality in education is about more than just getting girls into school and keeping them there for a certain amount of time; it’s about what happens once they’re there, allowing the

Education has been recognised as a fundamental human right in a number of international conventions – A powerful tool for individual freedom and socioeconomic development. Despite a number of initiatives and significant progress over the years, many girls around the world continue to be denied the right to education. Globally, nine out of ten girls complete primary school, but only three out of four complete lower secondary school (roughly 9 years of education). Less than two-thirds of girls complete primary school in low-income countries, and only one-third complete lower secondary school. No country can advance without equal participation of women in social, political, economic, and other development initiatives. Female labour force participation rises as a result of education, resulting in faster economic growth. When women have equal access to quality education, they actively participate in business and economic activities, which helps to close the long-standing gender pay gap. “

Asia dominates the global market for private student coaching. Private tuitions account for more than 12% of annual household income in India. After-school private tuition is now as much a desi thing in India as chai. More and more people are choosing to do that extra bit of academic work in order to earn six-figure salaries, for the same reason children are being pushed into a system that emphasizes on grades and competition. The pressure to perform better, the skyrocketing cut-off marks for universities, and the overall increase in the number of people doing the same thing provide parents with an impetus to push their children harder to excel, to stay ahead of the pack. In a recent conversation with The Chairman of The Doon School, Dehradun, Anoop Singh Bishnoi , he shared his thoughts about why he thinks private tuition is a necessity in our country. He said, “We all know that 30 students in each class is the ideal number for a good academic experience, however, with classroom siz
