Dear Mrs. Usha Padhee,
This is with reference to your article “we can still do it”
in Orissa Post, 5th Sep 2012 .
I entirely agree with your contention that if we were to
target, making the class and content interesting for the students then first of
all we must try to kill cynicism among educational administrators, bring
respectability to the teaching profession and introduce continuous evaluation
system. For this to happen, we need to look at the load factor in the school
curriculum (I guess 60 % of the essential/ core content to be retained and
balance 40% left for the student to learn out of own need and interest; need to
check how developed countries like New Zealand does on the subject)
Recently
came across a news report ‘school children making full length feature films and
documentaries’ and those have been recognized by international film festivals.
I feel this is about creating passion among children and leave them to do
wonders in their chosen field/ or area of interest.
In my opinion, this is not a question of resources; but, an
enabling mindset in the entire delivery mechanism of “school & mass
education dept.”. That require “leadership” and I believe the same is in safe
hands.
Warm Regards,
