SOLUTION #1SYLLABUS

A CHILD CRIES TO GO TO SCHOOL, THEN HOW FAR OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS FRIGHTENED THAT LITTLE HEART

▪ THE SYLLABUS QUOTIENT SHOULD GET ENTIRELY CHANGED

▪ MERE MUGGING & VOMITING IN EXAMS FOR MARKS SHOULD BE STOPPED

▪ STUDENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO THINK OUT OF BOX

▪ MORE PRACTICAL EXPLANATIONS SHOULD BE INVOLVED

▪ EQUAL IMPORTANCE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITES

▪ STUDY MATERIALS SHOULD BE APPLICATION ORIENTED

WHEN EDUCATING THE MINDS, WE MUST NOT FORGET TO EDUCATE THEIR HEARTS.

SYLLABUSHOW TO IMPLEMENT

▪ A SPECIAL COMMISSION COMPRISING EXPERTS FROM VARIOUS FIELDS SHOULD BE FORMED

▪ A NEW MODE OF SYLLABUS WHICH KINDLES & DISCOVERS THE MIND OF A CHILD SHOULD BE PREPARED

▪ FACULTIES SHOULD BE WELL TRAINED OVER IT

▪ AND IT SHOULD BE STRICTLY AMMENDED AT NO COST

▪ NO IMPORTANCE FOR MARK, ONLY MIND

▪ LET THE STUDENT THINK FREE AND INNOVATE NEW

CHILDREN ARE GREAT IMMITATORS. SO GIVE THEM SOMETHING GREAT TO IMMITATE.

SOLUTION #2TEACHERS

SCHOOL IS THE PLACE WERE A CHILD SPENDS MOST OF ITS TIME & TEACHER IS THE SECOND MOTHER OF A CHILD

▪ IF THE TEACHER IS KIND & AFFECTIONATE THE CHILD WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DRAGGED INTO THE SUBJECT

▪ PERSONAL PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT REFLECT IN CLASSROOMS

▪ TEACHER-STUDENT RATIO SHOULD BE 1:20

▪ A TEACHER SHOULD TEND TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL STUDENT

THE SECRET IN EDUCATION LIES IN RESPECTING THE STUDENT

TEACHERSHOW TO IMPLEMENT

▪ PERIODICAL COUNSELLING SHOULD BE GIVEN TO TEACHERS INORDER TO REDUCE THEIR PEER & WORK PRESSURE

▪ TRAINING ON CURRENT UPDATES AROUND THE WORLD SHOULD BE GIVEN

▪ MORE NUMBER OF APPROPRIABLE TEACHERS SHOULD BE EMPLOYED

▪ LEAVES & APPRAISALS AT NECESSARY TIMES WILL ENCOURAGE THEM

▪ MORE ACTIVITIES & FESTIVAL CELEBRATIONS CAN BE HANDLED WHICH WILL REDUCE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TEACHER & STUDENT

A STUDENT SHOULD NOT ONLY BE TOLD & TAUGHT, HE SHOULD BE INVOLVED

SOLUTION #3SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT

THERE IS NO MEAN IN FINDING WATER IN MOON & STEPPING INTO MARS BY 2015, WHEN YOU CANT EVEN HAVE A PROPER TOILET IN A SCHOOL

▪ MALNUTRITION & FAMISHED SHOULD BE EXEMPTED AT ANY COST

▪ INFRASTRUCTURE OF EVERY SCHOOLS SHOULD BE IMPROVED TO GREATER STANDARDS

▪ THE STUDENT WILL BE IN GOOD MOOD TO LISTEN & STUDY ONLY IF THE ENVIRONMENT IS CHERISHING

▪ TRAVELLING FROM LONG DISTANCES SHOULD BE AVOIDED, AS IT IS DANGEROUS AT TIMES & ALSO MAKES THE STUDENT RESTLESS

SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTHOW TO IMPLEMENT

▪ MANY GOVT SCHOOLS WITH EXCELLENT INFRASTRUCTURE SHOULD BE STARTED AT EQUAL INTERVALS OF LANDSCAPE AREA, SO THAT LONG DURATION OF TRAVEL CAN BE AVOIDED

▪ MANY ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF ENERGY CAN BE ADOPTED SO THAT IT WILL FULFIL WATER & ELECTRICITY REQUIREMENTS & IT COULD ALSO BE A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR STUDENTS

▪ NUTRICIOUS FOODS SHOULD BE ADDED IN MID-DAY MEAL

▪ A CLINIC SHOULD BE PRESENT AT EVERY SCHOOL & DOCTOR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AT WORKING HOURS

▪ PLANTS CAN BE PLANTED BY INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS & ITS IMPORTANCE & BENEFITS CAN BE TAUGHT SCIENTIFICALLY

▪ BASIC SKILLS TO IMPROVE HEALTH CAN BE TAUGHT

IMPACT OF THE SOLUTIONS

▪ AS THEY ARE NOT TREATED AS MARK PRODUCING MACHINES, THEY START TO THINK, REASON-OUT & INNOVATE NEW

▪ INSTEAD OF PRODUCING WORKERS FOR BILL GATES, WE CAN PRODUCE LOTS & LOTS OF BILL GATES

▪ LEARNING APPLICATION ORIENTED HELPS HIM TO UNDERSTAND EASIER AND WORK ON IT

▪ AS THE STUDENT IS MADE TO INTERACT WITH NATURE, IT HELPS HIM TO KNOW ABOUT ITS IMPORTANCE

▪ THE ETHICAL HABIT TAUGHT MAKES HIM A COMPLETE HUMAN BEING

CHALLENGES

SIMPLE CHANGES MAKE HUGE IMPACT

• THE PARENTS SHOULD BE EMPLOYED INORDER TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL PROPERLY

• TEACHERS SHOULD TAKE EXTRA CARE & BE COOPERATIVE IN THE STEPS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION

• LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES SHOULD TAKE INITIATIVES TO LEARN WHEN ALL THE OPPURTUNITIES ARE MADE

ONE WHO OPENS A SCHOOL DOOR, CLOSES A PRISON

EVERY THING IN THIS WORLD IS INTERLINKED. ITS IN OUR HANDS TO OPT FOR GOOD OR BAD

YES, WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!
