With the increasing use of technology, artificial intelligence, and anfractuous changes in this modern era, we are developing into a brand new civilization. To be a bellwether in this fast-paced environment, we need our education system to be updated and modernized to catch up with this global education system.
Making the classrooms obsequious and interesting is the foremost key to successful learning. Recent trends among kids are the use of technology, apps, and gadgets. Channelizing these interests into an organon creates an impact on the child’s future. Children must be taught how to think and not what to think. Traditional books with repetitive syllabus and exam surviving skills need a change. More updated subjects like robotics, cloud computing, and AI can be introduced to kids. Igniting the thoughts by letting children to research their answers helps them to become more perspicacious.
Integrating the classrooms with-Fi and smart devices, tools will ensorcell the child’s mind. This can bring students, teachers, parents, and management closer. Children will have the opportunity to learn through video streaming, online chats with professors, clarify queries with teachers at a glance. A secured app exclusively for the school community can be developed. Teachers/ Parents can directly view their child’s performance every day through these smart tools. Transparency in learning can be achieved. These apps will also help monitor the overall school safety and security. Another great advantage of these apps is that they can also be installed at home PC/ mobile phones so that teachers, parents, and even students can work from anywhere else other than school. E-books can be installed in the smart tools that guide a child to constellate data from anywhere, anytime along with the traditional library. There is no excuse for a sick day leave now that they have access to the class even from their own home. Technological advancements like Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and 3D models are a boon for children’s education. It simplifies the subject by showing practical reality and it makes learning experience than a lesson. This justifies an old saying” A mind that is stretched by experience never goes back to its old dimensions”. Kids who bring innovative ideas can be encouraged with more credit points.
Weekly/ monthly sessions exclusively for providing updates around the world mainly in the field of STEM(Science,Technology,Engineering Math) will keep them on track with this gregarious global development. Trying to placate the child is the ultimate goal. Motivating kids to get cross-trained in various areas of expertise during the course of their study would elucidate young children’s curiosity to explore new things.
A connection between the education system and the job market should be established beyond exam survival skills. Affiliation with large IT firms, engineering/ manufacturing industries, hospitals can open up more ventures. It can include small steps like earning an accredited certificate course for the future use of children, industrial visits, onsite learning that will step up the game amongst other competitors. Innovative ideas like student exchange programs with other cities, states, or even countries would teach the process of assimilation. It helps children to learn the techniques, methodologies from the other end out of their comfort zone. Mandatory exposure to sports, yoga makes them understand physical and mental health. These are the frisson moments that the child would cherish for a lifetime.
And the most important of all, quality education from quality teachers is the apotheosis of future learning. Teachers who are compassionate, considerate, caring, and capable of delivering quality content to the budding young minds will surmount them to greater heights. No matter what the child grows out to be in the future, maybe a doctor, engineer, scientist, or even the president of the country, it is only because of the indefatigable efforts of the gurus that shaped them during the early phases of their life. It ultimately is the sole responsibility of the school to render quality learning to mold future makers. The future of learning lies ahead of us with massive advancement in the fields of STEM.
Smart work is more important than hard work to achieve the epistemology of world education. Alone we are smart, together we are brilliant. Let’s strive to bring the best of the best.
Happy Learning!
