Courses which can be opted in medical career instead of MBBS:

Every job which is available on earth has got some value to society. According to the jobs, there are college degrees to prepare the students. When it comes to careers especially in India, the MBBS course is overvalued. The overvaluation is caused by the plethoric (excessive) attraction and seat demand this degree has gained from a few decades. In recent years this degree has become something like 'Shahi' (Royal). This degree more than a societal need-based has become a pride or job guarantee scheme (But things have worsened in this career aftermath MBBS degree too).

This degree as said has attracted a royal tag which comes with a tittle ‘Dr Saab’ or ‘Dr Ji’ or 'Doctorre' in Kannada. Because of all these nonchannelized career guidance or no guidance at all, many important jobs of a hospital which are also very important are undervalued. At the same time, the need for an MBBS degree is not ignored, this is a very crucial healthcare qualification in our health system, which cannot be denied at all. But the point here is what are the qualifications which are equally important for a healthcare system.

There is unnecessary pride attached to the MBBS, which is making lakhs of students to go to the MBBS route and increasing the competition level further. Many students go for a long term NEET by giving extra 1 or 2 years attempting for NEET. The NEET preparation cost in few NEET preparation academies is sometimes more than the government MBBS college annual fee. If you look at long term NEET repeaters only a few get succeed into getting a government medical seat. When it comes to a direct MBBS private seat, the full course budget exceeds the Rupees crore mark. This is causing a lot of demotivation to the students as well as parents.

If you look at a hospital, the hospital is run not only by MBBS, but there are a lot of professionals who are equally important to run a hospital set up. It is high time to look at the multiple medical career opportunities rather than going on a single route i.e. MBBS, and jam the traffic to worsen it further.

A student can opt for graduation in Bsc in allied medical sciences, medical and healthcare technologies. After BSc, a student can also opt for a Master degree too.

Looking Deeper: How to Measure a School’s Holistic Success Before Admission:

- # Beyond the Billboard: Why It’s Time to Stop Judging Schools by Their Toppers Every spring, city streets and newspaper pages light up with the same familiar sights: massive, gloss-printed billboards featuring a handful of smiling students who scored a 99% or clinched top ranks. For decades, these billboards have served as the ultimate marketing tool for educational institutions, and parents routinely queue up for admissions based entirely on these extreme outliers. But if we look past the flashing lights of the top 1%, a critical question remains: **What about the rest of the school?** When we judge an institution solely by its toppers, we mistake individual genius for institutional excellence. To understand the true health, equity, and capability of a school, both parents and educators need to change the metric of success. ## The Illusion of the Outlier Toppers are, by definition, statistical outliers. Often, these students possess a high degree of intrinsic motivation, strong...

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

- A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs. Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon". In Mumbai, she experiences a "real village" where family, neighbours, and the building community are always available to help. * Independence vs. Interdependence: Dutch culture raises children to be "fierceley independent," such as cycling to school alone at age eight. Indian parenting focuses on interdependence and being part of a larger, supportive system. * Child-Friendly Public Spaces: She notes that children in India are acce...

REOPENING THE SCHOOL- SOME SUGGESTIONS (Suggestions via- IIEP_UNESCO):

# Beyond the Answer Key: Teaching Children How to Think

- Nurturing Thinkers, Not Memorizers: A Guide for Educators Think back to the last time a child asked you a "Why" question. Why is the sky blue? Why do birds fly? Why do we have to sleep? Young children can ask dozens of questions an hour. It is their way of mapping out a massive, unfamiliar world. As parents and educators, our natural instinct is to give them an immediate answer. We want to be helpful, and we want to share our knowledge. But when we provide the answer right away, we accidentally turn off their mental engine. ### What to Think vs. How to Think When we give an instant answer, the child learns *what* to think. They receive a static fact to memorize. But when we pause and invite them into the discovery process, they learn *how* to think. They learn to evaluate clues, connect dots, and build logic. The magic isn't in the destination (the answer); the magic is in the journey (the thinking). ### The Four-Word Shift The next time a child brings you a curious q...

School Operations Manual:

- A school is a complex organization where multiple activities should co-ordinate in sync. Each stake holder - Management, Teacher, Students, Parents and supportive staff, everyone has an important role to play. All these stake holders need to know their job, roles and responsibilities, and also the structure, policy and procedure of their work.

This manual outlines the significant policies and procedures covering a wide spectrum of activities in a school, starting from affiliation, curriculum planning, extra-curricular activities, value education, school administration, statutory compliances, HR, etc. The core objective of this manual is to communicate, describe and help in implementing the best practices, policies and procedures so as to bring standardisation in our schools through collaboration.
