Beyond the Classroom Walls: Celebrating Our Group 4 Support Staff

 - "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." - Coretta Scott King In the bustling environment of our school, it's easy to focus on the academic achievements and the visible efforts of our teachers. But today, we want to shine a spotlight on the often-unsung heroes who play a vital role in creating a safe, nurturing, and functional learning space for our students: our incredible support staff. Think about it:  who greets our children with a warm smile and ensures their safety as they enter the school gates? Our security personnel.  Who keeps our classrooms and common areas clean and organized, creating a conducive learning environment? Our dedicated helpers.  Who provides tender care and assistance to our youngest learners? Our compassionate ayahs.  And who ensures our children arrive and depart safely each day? Our reliable drivers. These individuals, often working behind the scenes, contribute signif...

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....

Values should be developed in children through education for larger peace on earth (Video Hindi):

- LET'S BRING PEACE ON EARTH.🤗 The interdisciplinary approach of subjects for the fusion of syllabus to understand existence and their co-existence 🌍 with other existence for  _ UTILITY & COMPLIMENTARITY_ 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 of larger order🌏🪐. If we are not able to develop the conscience of the child, then value education also will become another subject. Conscience refers to t he part of your mind that tells you if what you are doing is right or wrong. Through education, we should focus on 3 aspects- relation, order and coexistence.

It's not the school wall, it's the whole environment that makes or breaks our children: A thought towards holistic education-

- How can the head of an educational institution change the environment? ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ Imagine for a second that there is a person who is a police officer and who is basically also a bribe-taker, a haram eater ( Haram is an Arabic term meaning forbidden ), a blackmailer, a politician's spoon ... Etc.   Now his son is going to school. A few years later, the child grew up to grade 6/7. Now the lazy principal of this school has been transferred to another branch of the school or he has left the scene in any case. The new principal came with professional training as well as passion and enthusiasm.  As soon as the new principal came, he instilled such a spirit in all the teachers that they all started performing better with self-motivation. At the same time, the wise man actively involved the children's parents and the community in this whole training process; he knows that the child's overall personality ...

A physical fight between 15 year old student and a teacher leads to an investigation in Columbia:

Teaching and learning is a process whereby knowledge is transferred and constructed. When knowledge is regarded with high respect, the process of attaining knowledge is also regarded with high respect. And the more experienced person who is involved in the process of knowledge construction (Teacher) is also cherished high. We have published a half minute video in the link at the end of this article which is released by www.wltx.com whereby a 15 year old student and a teacher fight physically in a classroom, where some try to create a truce between them. This makes us to think what kind of respect is being created between teacher and a student in the current times, and what kind of relationship the school stakeholders have between themselves. If you look at the kind of relationship between school stakeholders, in some cases: Teacher considers teaching to be a job, School considers teacher to be an employee, The teacher considers the student to be a client, Stud...

Why did 'Great wall of China' fail. What can we learn:

When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. And every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the Wall... because each time they bribed the guards & came through the doors! The Chinese built the Wall but forgot character building of the wall guards! Thus, the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else.. That's what our students need today. Like one Orientalist said:  If you want to destroy the civilization of a nation there are 3 ways: 1. Destroy the family structure. 2. Destroy education. 3. Lower their role models & references. To destroy the family: Undermine the role of Mother, so that she feels ashamed of being a housewife. To destroy education: You should give no importance to the Teacher & lower his place in Society ...

Do we really need some one to certify us?

"In feudal times the aristocracy had sent their sons to university, conferring superiority on the institution. Nowadays it was the other way round: the university conferred superiority on the man".        -  Ursula K. Le Guin , The  Dispossessed. Most of us go to the school, college and the university and graduate. What is the proof that we have graduated? There is a certificate which is issued certifying that the student is graduated. Do we really need the certificate, do we need someone to certify that we are capable of so and so skills and techniques. Wikipedia explains the meaning of diploma as, 'A  diploma  (from Greek δίπλωµα díplōma , meaning "folded paper") is a certificate or deed issued by an educational institution, such as a college or university, that testifies that the recipient has successfully completed a particular course of study or confers an academic degree'. We must agree tha...
