This is a followup to the blog Free...Free...Freedom and Democraticing education.html
Ideas are very easy to generate... Just sitting idle for few minutes ruminating on the problem, which is also called meditation results in a lot of ideas.
But generating workable solutions is a different game altogether.
After writing blogs and getting feedback from the readers, I had gone deeper to introspecting, analysing and strategising and gathering feedback.
Here are few of my thoughts on which I am planning an Action plan.
1. Though we think that we have won independence as a nation, we are still colonised. Yes, we are colonised by the method of education. We are all forced into following a single method of education. Only the selected elite have an option to get educated as per their wish
Education is not marks. That is academics. Education is a lot more...
2. Why should a child only learn the conventional method of basic mathematical operations. Why cannot they perform the operations in the method that is comfortable to them. There are some many options available - Abacus, Trachtenberg method, Russian Peasant method, Vedic maths etc
That too when finally they are going to use devices and tools.
Why should the children made to feel like a failure when they actually are not.
3. When it comes to Science, why should the children only repeat standard experiments. Why cannot they be made to encouraged to structure their own experiments
4. Social science is such an important subject which they understand well gives them a lot of Life skills. But unfortunately, this subject along with Literature is only taught and learnt for scoring marks
Yes, the above are only few drawbacks of education system. Have highlighted them as I have joined with an energetic team MyOpenSkool.in and together we are chartering tangible and measurable action plans that can be documented, is scientific, repeatable and scalable too.
Will be penning about them soon...
Jai Hind ! Valgha Vazhamudan !
