The childrens are send to the school to prepare them for the
real world which is changing very fast. But our schools haven't
changed for much years. Many leaders agreed that the sole intend of
the education system was to train people to be willing to work in a
factory.
Some of the measures to be taken to enhance good governance in
schools are :
- Eliminate the industrial age values: All day long, students do
nothing but follow only instructions. At school, the childrens are
awarded for exactly what theu taught. In this modern world, inorder
to live, we should be competitive, skillful and creative. Thus this
industrial age values should be removed and children should get
chances to develop such skills.
- Implementing autonomy and control : At schools, our children
experience a complete lack of autonomy and control. Every minute of
a child's life is entirely controlled by the system. The children
should be given chances on making decisions, what to do and when to
do.
- Removal of inauthentic learning : Most of the learnings that
happens in schools todays is not authentic because it deals on
memorization and wrote learning. The learned things may forget
after the exams. The learning system should be made more authentic
without just memorization. Exams should be conducted on the basis
of practicals more than written exams.
- Creating a room for passions and interests : we have an
extremely standardized system where each child must learn the
something at the same time in the same way. This doesn't respect
the basic quality of being human that each was unique and have
their own potentials. Thus the system should provide space for each
child to determine children's passion and interests.
- Mode of lecturing : In the current system, children are
lectured more than five hours a day. Each of the students have
their own level of understanding. Thus the lectures should be made
fully digitalized with videos and animations. Thus all children can
catch the concepts very easily.
