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.

Parenting requires parents to have patience:

- Parenting is no easy task and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. It takes patience, time, and a lot of trial and error to figure out what will work for your family. But as any parent will tell you, it can be worth the effort. Sometimes parents think they need to correct every little thing their children do or they’ll never learn right from wrong. But as adults we know that this isn’t the case. If we make an error at work, we don’t get corrected by our boss every time we do it – we just try not to repeat it.  Parents have a very important role in their child's wellbeing and character. Parents are the first teachers of children. How parents deal with children everyday is very crucial. Here are some ways that patience in parenting can help your family. The Best Ways to Keep Your Patience as a Parent. Why do we need to cultivate patience? What is the best way to cultivate patience as a parent? Follow the 5 quick rules below: 1. Don't be quick to anger.  Children don't re

Challenges faced by school counsellors as per study undertaken in India (Part 1.12)--:

 - Counselling skills are seen as an important area in educational institutions. The education boards like CBSE mandates schools to appoint counsellor. The schools which have appointed counsellors in the school environment, the counsellor face few challenges, as school involves multiple stakeholders- Teachers, Children, Parents, Management, Civil society (Civil society- When school is involved with collaborative programs with external institutions). There are some kinds of stigma attached to counsellor and counselling practices. When counsellor calls children to meet, they become very conscious to go to the counsellor even to have general interaction. Some responded that if a child goes to a dedicated counsellor, the child might think he has negativity in him. A counsellor said that rapport building takes much time. Children are afraid because they have misinformation about counselling. Class 1st to 5th children know counsellor as a Lifeskills teacher and not as a counsellor. It helps

The role of a school counsellor in tackling the challenges faced by students, and how bullying is affecting at school (Part 1.13):

- There are multiple roles a counsellor does for student development at school- academic performance counselling, family related counselling, career counselling, school adjustment related aspects and so on. One of the major tasks for a school counsellor is also to help a child plan for his future, whether that means continuing on to higher education, doing entrepreneurship, entering the workforce and so on. Ideally, a school counsellor should be involved with this process since a student entered school, providing guidance and study skills and intervening during times of poor or declining school performance. As we discussed in our previous articles, there are myriad challenges which counsellors face to discharge their duties. As reported in an article from UWA online of USA, there are some school counsellors who go an extra mile, even accompany students on college visits and walk them through the application process (uwa.edu, N.A) . This cannot be possible in all situations, as coun

Why children fail to read in few countries:

 - While reviewing the evidence on early grade reading and writing acquisition and instruction in the last decade, it's worthwhile to discuss the 5Ts (Teaching, Time, Texts, Tongue, and Test).  Improving the acquisition of reading and writing skills in the early grades means embarking on a positive learning curve.  'Few reasons why children may have difficulty reading include: Limited vocabulary, Working memory deficit, Boredom, and Disinterest in reading'.  Below is the 5T framework to better understand this challenge: 5Ts Framework 1. Teaching:  Many teachers in developing country contexts have not had direct and explicit training in how to teach literacy. Many curricula do not include literacy as a discrete subject of instruction, hence teachers are not trained to teach it. 2. Time:  The appropriate use of classroom time as well as securing sufficient time devoted to teaching literacy is vital. Literacy needs to be taught explicitly and directly, not as part of a larger
