School education: Preparing for the 21st-century skills
The best gift a parent and the school can give to a child is not marks only but the gift of imagination.
Nature has unlimited resources, children have unlimited potential. The greatness of a teacher is to find out the hidden talent in a child given by the Almighty whether the child has the talent of linguistic, logic, musical, art, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. School education and the passion of the child should go parallel.
The best gift a parent and the school can give to a child is not marks only but the gift of imagination.
Together we can produce useful human resources with 21st-century skills. Being in the education field, I strongly feel it is not the teaching of the teacher at school or at a tuition place that helps the child to learn and grow but the time spent by the child doing self-study.
It is not what we eat but what we digest that makes our health. It is not how many hours a child does but what he can assimilate is important. School education is a platform that starts the journey from homework to examination.
It is to enjoy exploring this beautiful world given by the Almighty in the form of physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, geography, languages. It takes at least 10 years (the stage of high school) to know the child’s aptitude, capability and interest in academics and other personality traits and then to select the right group of academic subjects and activities during the intermediate stage.
