Education experts say school is more than just passing exams

By Mail Today Bureau


Educationists feel that the ‘big test’ of students is not to pass the board examinations but to prepare themselves for the future.



In context to the learning patterns used in the traditional education system, Ameeta M. Wattal, principal, Springdales School, said: “Every school should be able to identify every individual’s strength. The focus should be more on conceptual learning than contextual learning.”


Ameeta M. Wattal, principal of Springdales School, (left) said every school should develop the strengths of individual students. Ashok Pandey, principal of Ahlcon International School, (right) said teachers should also be counsellors.


She added: “In a country where today’s youth is tomorrow’s future, classrooms and teaching ideas of the past shouldn’t exist.

"If students of today will be prepared with sources from the past, how will they bring in a worthier tomorrow for the nation?

"Our focus should be allocating skills because this is what will help in the overall development of students."

“Can we think out of the box? The global economy looks at creativity. We have to be clear that our eye is constantly on the future,” Wattal said.

Ashok Pandey, the principal, Ahlcon International School, said: “Every teacher in a school should be a counsellor as well. He or she should be able to cater and resolve the developmental issues which persist in the school life of every student.”

“Engineering and medicine aren’t the only dominating fields in the educational grounds. Need for career counselling is immensely important in schools to promote unconventional study areas like cybersecurity, nanotechnology, which are not so familiar amongst the present-day youth,” he added.
