Democraticing Education



In India, the basic education i.e. schooling till 10th standard is available free of cost. We can say that it is democratically available for all children.

But what about the way it is available?

Doctors will all vote to say that children need atleast 9-10 hours of sleep. Do our children get it?

In most homes, they get up earlier than their fathers and are the first ones to leave the home.

I remember reading an article in the newspaper a few years back. In that it was mentioned that to avoid traffic jam during peak hours, the school buses have been asked to ply earlier!!!

What about the way they sit in the school. Doctors and physiotherapist will together agree that the posture in which the children sit is not good for their health.  And also the amount of time they are in the sitting posture is not good for their physical growth.

But still we adults have not thought about it and done anything about it. The poor children have no voice to say what they want.

Let’s do something about it. Small tremors make a mighty earth shaking quake.

      Anyway now, you must have heard about National Education Policy (NEP 2020). It is trying to bring a change.
      There's also AISEC who is highlighting PEP (People's Education Policy)
      For implementation, our company MyOpenSkool From India has developed a concept Tech solution and we are working on building it's prototype
