The Necessity for ICT Training in Rural India

Image
If we manage to have enough computer services in the rural and peripheral areas of India, the entire picture of our country can be revolutionized. In any case, it is a highly significant necessity for the less advantaged in rural areas because they have close to none functional computer expertise and an increasing number of services are now computer-based. Therefore, it is crucial to give every man and woman, married or unmarried, enough opportunities to master computer operations and fully benefit from the situation. The "digital divide," which was once primarily thought of in terms of access to technology, is now also understood to be about people’s skills and abilities to benefit from access to technology. “In metro cities like ours, we use laptops or tablets to study since there is easy access to electricity and the internet, with just one mouse click, we get the information we want and even more than that. Rural areas, however, run differently. A “computer lab” may exist

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

Life skills for success in school and beyond

Image
Have you ever considered how capable your child is of taking care of themselves? Are your children mature enough to make simple decisions? Have you considered whether your child has been taught necessary life skills to face the world? It has been observed that there is a gap today between the theoretical and practical worlds, which is due to a lack of skills developed in children. In today’s globalised world, life skill development is a tool for empowering children and safeguarding their future by providing them with overall development. “Instilling life skills and well-being skills in schools benefits children and youth’s mental health now and in the future. Life skills training can be delivered as a module or as individual exercises. Teachers and other school personnel should become acquainted with and even receive training in, the teaching of life skills. When life skills are consistently taught, the results are visible at the school level, not just in individual student wellbeing
