For the parents and educators, they must ask themselves

UN Women's volunteers group discussion

For the parents and educators, they must ask themselves:

• How many of our kids lose themselves at school expected to excel in things they have no interest in pursuing and punished them when they fall short in something called marking scale/grade/score?

• How many of our students hate books because they were thrown at their faces for a spelling mistake or an incomplete answer?

• How many children fear speaking up because every time they opened their mouths they were told they are wrong since it isn't in the textbooks?

• How many children know algebraic equations by heart but they creep in front of real-life problems?

• How many children's innate curiosity and imagination is snuffed out every day under the pressure to score more than the neighbor's kids?

• How many potential writers, painters, social workers, and entrepreneurs were sacrificed to amass engineering and medical degrees?

• How many children sacrifice every waking hour to realize their parents' dream of a professional degree?

• How many children are made to believe that a job is an ultimate success they can achieve in life?

And last but not least,

• How many more children's spirits will we sacrifice at the altar of "education"?

Your meaningful answer to the above mentioned questions can refine and redefine our Education system.

Please take a part in discussion. And what is your take now.......

Problems are not in the system of Education. It is in the products.

We should not forget to remember UNEDUCATED ARE BETTER THAN MISEDUCATED.

• Leader. Ms. Leena Rai Kalra: These are the valid questions where each one of us needs to think and act both being an educator and parent.

There are no of examples of these kind of children who are behaved ,treated and ignored in such a manner.

They are said the words of own interests by the parents and school and always expecting the better score instead of anything in the form of "happy children"or "humane citizens".

This equation of parents teachers with the children is never going to be balanced until and unless the thinking is changed even if we keep on experimenting and adding new assets into the education even if any educator keeps on conducting webinars every time the actual need is to create a right platform of development of children awakening of parents.

I too have seen at last 99% of parents still come to the point of producing doctor engineer or the job oriented product only instead of following rules of growth and overall development through their personal interests and passion.

• Mr. Nahid Raza: Parents and educators must ask if they respect the individuality and identity of children. They should ask if they helping children discovering themselves. They ought to ask if they are recognising them , their work and their presence in public.

• Dr Sekar Seenivasan: Really motivating statements.

• Mrs. Ishrath Tabassum: Alhamdulillah, As a parent or as a teacher, I believe that, learning new things requires interest, curiosity and excitement. 

A child should be given an environment where he/she enjoys what he/she might be learning, we all must be a little patient and supportive of the student or a child, we must communicate with them in their language to make them understand better, the problem isn’t with the education system. 

It’s with our behaviour, children are tend to be sensitive and emotional, we must never compare them to any other child, and identify their skills and support them in it, due to these kind of incidents as children grow up they tend to be anxious and insecure. 

Alhamdulillah as parents we definitely have some expectations with our children but we must realise what our child is good at and what he/she wants to do and support him/her by all means rather than forcing our expectations on them INSHAALLAH.
