Development of Children - Key Issues

Our Kids are like a diamond in the crown, instilling core values is key from a very young age. Parents should take the primary responsibility in shaping kids through out their life. Our education system needs a complete revamp. It almost seems like a copy and paste from the British system of education. The fundamental issue lies in our system of education that is highly theoretical. The schools don't tech you "out of box" thinking, team work, project oriented coaching. We have a very bad way of testing kids. They write exams, board exams etc- Some stranger that does not even know the kids, many times not even competent is responsible for evaluating the kid, kids are evaluated without knowing strengths and weaknesses at key points in their lives(7th grade, 10th grade, 12th and degree) and the objectives given to people that are evaluating in these board exams remains to be fundamentally incorrect, the driving factor for exam paper evaluation is "to complete x # of papers in" a finite duration of time. This leads to poor evaluations of kids. This is an outdated system. The public school system in India should mature big time. They should shape kids not just in academics but also in being model citizens. New systems outside of CBSE, ISCE and State Boards should be experimented atleast to begin with Education is fundamental in core in development of children as well rounded individuals. Kids need to have field trips, social service, encouragement of innovation. I know first hand where kids gets admonished in our system of education for thinking outside the box. This limits their thinking ability. A highly personalized education system is key. Teachers should be qualified and the education department should really evaluate the system of education. The issue is not with the syllabus per se, but how its administered and how kids are evaluated. Education and schooling should be made fun for the kids. it should not be regimental. Our kids attend school most time in the year, schools should become a centre of excellence for overall development of a kid. In addition to the above, we should have electives for kids from a young age where they can choose from subjects outside of academia such as environmental responsibility, social work, civic responsibility, political sciences, cultural science(Vedism) etc vs purely book driven education. more

They should be encouraged to use Indian goods and appreciate indian artisans and promote them. They should be Discouraged against unnecessarily Idolizing foreign western nations. However, they should be encouraged to appreciate and learn the positive sides of foreign societies and strive to implement them for the betterment of their own nation. 9.Govt. should start a new compulsory subject called "code of conduct"(just like evs/eve was done before a few years). Points 2,3,6,8 can all be together enforced and implemented via that subject. Code of conduct should be taught with special care, effort, and sensitivity. It should be taught in a comprehensible way and involving low cost but effective and inspiring projects and activities. For this subject there should be such people appointed as teachers who has(voluntarily or done to join as teacher for "code of conduct") been an active part of NGO/Social service organisations. more
