Parents and schools' challenges in managing learning during pandemic- towards a win-win situation:

 - The first among the sectors to close during the 1 st wave of a pandemic is the education sector and the last sector to open at the end of the pandemic wave is again the education sector. The education sector is taken extra care regarding health and safety as millions of students worldwide study in schools and various educational centres. The schools are very much hit because of pandemics, and that private schools are affected the most. In India we have various kinds of school setups- Government, Aided and Private. The government is fully funded by the government, the aided in part funded by the government and the private schools are not funded by the government, the private schools are in turn dependent on the student fee to run the school operations. To run a low budget school of say 800 students, the annual budget might go up to a multiple lakh to a Crore depending on the school location, City type, quality of teaching-learning etc. In this article, our focus is on low budget

The aim of education is to develop moral values among children along with the academic/economic skills:

 - We bring to you a Q&A happening between a parent and a professor of Azim Premji University. In this video at the end of this blog summary, a parent asks, that in our education system why are we not considering values like honesty, serving society and thinking beyond ourselves, and basic skill sets which are required to lead a healthy and happy life as part of the core education system. Instead, we are considering this as a secondary target.  The parent says that our focus should be a holistic education where values and skills are given equal importance. We as a country are known to be spiritually strong with all these values and learning, but these skills are being learnt out of school, why are we not making our education holistic by considering these aspects as part of the school learning. The parent argues that value education should be part of the school education system instead of taking it outside the area of the education system. Please watch the 3.5-minute video. Link sou
