Reasons for The Decline of The State-of-Education in India

  Posted on 09 Jul , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments According to a survey report conducted in Uttar Pradesh, the professors lack the basic knowledge of the subjects they teach at the college. If an Economics professor is not aware of the term ‘Audit’ then how can they teach at the college level course.On the other hand, the proof of the bleak condition of education in India is the case in Bihar where the Intermediate topper’s statement “political science is all about cooking” created a gaffe. An initiative is undertaken by the honorable Prime Minister to concede the various challenges in accompany with the Human Resource Development Ministry. A report is created with the details of the problems and included in the National Education Policy 2016 draft which explains the awful need to fix the problem. There are various reasons for the downfall of the state-of-education in the one of the majorly growing fastest economy. Highest in dropouts and Lowest in enrollment The percentage of the drop out case has reduced significantly as compared to the enrollment rates in the various levels of the education. The gross enrollment ratio in higher education is as low as 23.6% during 2014-2015. Despite India being one of the largest higher education systems in the world, it homes the highest number of illiterates. Deterioration of the quality The education system is always being criticized. It severely lacks implementation of practical knowledge based on the learning gained by the learner. According to the survey report of the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), only 9%  of the colleges have A grade. As are the grading and assessment of the educational institution, around 91% falls either in the average or below average categories. Skill deficit With the growing economy, India suffers from skill deficit which affects the country. If we study the report given by the ministry then we can find out that many graduates and post-graduates do not get placed in their chosen fields. This results in unemployment and creates a huge talent gap. Back-dated curriculum The difference between what is taught and what’s needed in a rapidly changing world creates an outdated curriculum which is unsatisfactory. The present curriculum does not either foster uniqueness and  innovativeness nor does enable critical thinking and problem solving. Teachers or Instructor The training programs are insufficient and not equipped to resist the changes in the cultural, economic, social and technological environment. The initiatives are taken for the upliftment of the skills for teaching and research.Inclusion of the education  The education is still unreached to fewer sections of society. This is critical to think that male literacy rate is higher than the female literacy. Poor Governance  Schools can’t reach for the funds allotted to them which lead to inefficient management. Because in results in bad equipment and implementation of the policies. Insufficient research India has best engineers and scientists but it’s unfortunate that the universities are unable to multiply the number of talents and their research. Engaging with the international faculty may boost higher education in India and quality of research.

Controlling The Education System from the Influence of the Market

  Posted on 22 Jun , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments From the last few days, the intermediate topper scam has been the headlines in the educational news. The education system is being badly hampered by the growing influence of the market. The influential steps must be taken to stop these harmful consequences that are taking place in the education system of Bihar.At a seminar organized in Patna, the Delhi’s Education Minister Manish Sisodia requested the people of Bihar to take responsibility for improving the educational system. “People from Bihar should come forward to solve the matter and save the education system” said by him.In Delhi, the teachers are withdrawn from the non-teaching activities such as maintenance of school buildings and other activities to enhance the quality of the education. They have developed estate manager for each school to look after the non-teaching issues to minimize the burden of teachers.The present education system educates on the principles on how to stop the social crises not on how to complement the social crises. The trends prevailing in the school should be replaced with the ancient principles followed by Nalanda or Vikramshila. One of the senior members of AAP said that the education system should be upgraded for learning and growth by dropping the active method of teaching. There is a lot of importance of comprehensive growth in India. In place of smart and independent individuals, the education system is developing resources and no individual likes to be used as a tool. These things lead to an imbalance in an individual and at the workplace which results in abrupt ending of life.  Mr. Sisodia says “Humans and resources are two different things and it should not be mingled up together”.

How do special education students benefit from technology

  Posted on 16 May , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments Students with autism, cerebral palsy, speech delays, and down syndrome have found innovative ways to express themselves; thanks to the technological advancement. Technology is utilized more in a special-education class, than in any other regular classroom setting, since all the diverse students and their learning requirements that need to be met so as to make edification successful for them. Most of the time people think that any kind of disorder is a mental illness, but it is a false notion. According to the psychologists near about 51% students (age 6-17) have specific learning disabilities. Most of the time they couldn’t rectify this kind of problems. Among them, 21% of students have speech or language impairments, whereas 8% students have emotional disorders. Only 8% students have serious disabilities, such as orthopedic impairments, multiple disabilities, autism, or traumatic brain injury. But those students can grow as rapidly as any other students. All they need is a bit of learning aids and technology provides them exactly what they want.For learners with little cognitive disabilities in reading, can use text-to-speech products, reading skill software, interactive storybooks, etc. For those with mild disabilities in writing, can use word prediction software and voice recognition. For the students with mild disabilities in maths, can also find a good result in using graphing software, games, drills and tutorials. There are some students, who have moderate to severe cognitive disabilities, for them, software aids teach and reinforce useful skills such as daily living, money-management, etc., videos enhance acquisition, transfer of useful and community-based behaviors and maintenance. For learners with physical disabilities may use alternative methods of accessing keyboard, monitor and mouse. Settle on the best placement of adaptive technology and teach the learners so they are allowed to access it independently. Monitor to make sure that the highest level of involvement is obtained with no undue physical demands. For learners with sensory disabilities like blindness, have extensive options to use canes and sensor technologies to understand movement, screen readers and text-to-braille converters. For visually challenged learners, may use built-in computer screen magnification control panels and Closed-Circuit Television magnification systems. For hearing impaired learners, assistive listening devices such as FM amplification systems are the best option. Though there are still challenges and problems, the positives undeniably outweigh the difficulties, giving learners access and use of technical devices, just as the students in a regular classroom. Technology enhances their independence of reading, writing and learning, teaching them the basic communication skills that they are going to need for the rest of their career and beyond.

Why is Information Technology so Important for College Education

  Posted on 30 Apr , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments With rapid growth in information technology, most college and university students insist more utilization of IT in the structure of education for mainly two basic reasons: firstly, it helps the study material be presented in a more intelligible and simple way; secondly, it enables acquaintance with the high-tech tools they might likely to use in their career prospects after completing graduation. Let’s discuss this matter more specifically. Variety of educational resources: Information technology enables students to avail academic information at any time they want. Both professors and learners utilize IT to acquire and exchange study material. For an instance, professors can easily deliver audio and visual classes to their pupil using computers and internet connections. This breaks the limits of accessing information, since it facilitates students with online lectures where they do not have to present in the classroom. The professor can allocate projects and assignments to the students via electronic devices, campus educational forums or emails.   Pedagogy: Information technology enhances the capability for tailoring instruction for individual learners and monitoring students’ performance to access lessons efficacy.    Any time learning: Unlike in the earlier period when learning was restricted to a college classroom, students and professors could only avail course materials while at college. Nowadays, all that has evolved, a learner will avail materials at any given time. It provides the students 24 hours supports. IT has facilitated online learning, so you can find a student in Africa studying the same course as the learners in USA or India. This unified system offers equal treatment in case of placement and jobs as well. Collaboration: By the means of information technology students and teachers can collaborate with each other outside the classroom, creating a harmonious learning system, cooperating with each other in a large extent. This new level of coordination helps to take the best of a student triggers the curiosity and the urge to know more. Group study: Information technology aids students study in groups and be taught in groups by the expert teachers. In previous days, we used to have group discussions at college, which needed each member to have a say, conversely, the shy students could fail to attend these groups since they had the fear of expressing themselves. At present, with information technology, colleges and universities have formed academic forums; wherein the students can talk about about a specific topic without any fear of expression. Herein students can also engage in text chatting and videos as well.   The academic world is evolving as the contemporary world continues to grow. With so much advancement happening, it’s vital that education be able to reach learners in new ways, so that the learners can prepare for the opportunities. Students of today’s generation are the inventors, leaders, teachers, doctors and industrialists of the future. So, they need newest things to develop personally and professionally.

How to Learn the Native Language While Studying in Abroad

  Posted on 13 Apr , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments So you’ve determined to study abroad in a place thousands of miles away from your home, and you can’t speak a single word of the native tongue. First of all the good news is you’re not the first one who chose this path. There are so many people who studied in abroad, doing jobs and even making homes. The only solution of this problem is to learn a new language.Build self confidence: The first and foremost thing for learning a new language is to believe that you can learn. You have to build up the confidence that you have the ability to adopt new culture and as well as adopt a new language. It is utterly a psychological factor, but it is something that you must have to attain at first. Start learning before leaving: It is best to start exploring the language before leaving the country. Make sure yourself that a language problem does not spoil the excitement of the new arrival. Watch foreign films: Language classes are necessary indeed, but I’ll specially recommend you to watch films in that language. Films are not just a doorway to attain the very language, but it also represents the culture of that particular country. It can be useful to bring forth a fair introduction of their culture, society, food habits, rituals and many other significant things that you should know before going to that state.Continue learning: Do not stop the language learning process even after reaching the abroad. You may continue with reading the local newspaper regularly, visiting to market and attending parties to interact with people. Try to avoid the international language and make your conversation in the local language. Short sentences: At first, start with small and simple sentences. Always keep the thing in mind that you are not expected to speak fluently as you are from the other country. Everyone knows it. So don’t be ashamed of incorrect pronunciation and faulty grammar.Lean basic statements: There are always some basic statements, which we have to use in ordinary interaction. Learn those basic things at first, like asking someone for an address, introducing yourself as a student, answering someone about your country and background. For an instance, ‘I’m from Denver’ is in Spanish will be like that ‘soy de Denver’. I mean this kind of basic ones. Do not lose hope: Lastly and perhaps most importantly, do not lose hope to learn a new language. Sometimes it will be too tough, and sometimes it will be frustrating. But at the end you must have success. So, keep trying. The world famous linguistic philosopher Noam Chomsky believes that we all have a common grammatical faculty within ourselves. He named it Universal Grammar (UG), which is intrinsic and invariable to human minds. We can learn foreign languages with the help of our UG faculty. So, it’s possible. Go ahead with your language learning.      

What is Flipped Classroom and Its Importance over College Education

  Posted on 09 Apr , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments Flipped learning revolves the standard teaching form on its head. The idea is that learners learn new things beyond the classroom, usually with online applications and then tackle projects and assignments in lessons, giving educators more time to help the students with phases they don't understand.What is Flipped Classroom? Of the many rising techniques for integrating tech and digital educational system into the classroom, the flipped classroom is one of the most successful processes recognized by the educators all over the world. A flipped classroom is an educational environment where students learn new subjects on their own by accessing video lectures or other online resources and assigned problems are completed in class with professors offering personalized supervision as an alternative of stereotyped lectures. Fundamentally the classroom has been flipped from a conventional learning setting.Benefits of Flipped Classroom: Students can have maximum control over lessons: In a flipped classroom, it is possible for a learner to have better input and control over his/her own lessons. By offering compact lectures at home, learners are given the autonomy to learn at their own courses.Develop analytic study: learners may pause or rewind the lectures, jot down the questions they may have, take notes, write down the important points and discuss them further with their professors and peers in class. This type of analytical study is far more effective than classroom lectures; it helps to build up better understanding, enhances the critical power among college students. Boost students’ engagement: Student centric education enhances the students’ engagement in learning, endorses active participation, which was severely lake in the traditional learning environment. Scope of self evaluation: The flexible approach of this educational technology makes a huge space for self evaluation, providing a scope for rectification, modification and improvement. While classroom lecture ends in a very short period, students can carry over their lessons in their home. Repeated learning stretches the probability of critical thoughts and self evaluation. No chance to miss the lesson: By making video lectures and seminars available at any time online, students who are required to miss class due to illness, family problems, vacations, sports or other emergencies, can catch up fast. This also gives the professors more flexibility when they themselves are ill or out of station for crucial reason and also eliminates make-up projects and assignments. The cause Flipped Learning makes professors more precious is that it transforms the dynamic of the college classroom.No longer is study material delivery the focal point of the class, nor is the professor’s chief responsibility the sharing of knowledge. Instead, professors take on the responsibility of a facilitator of education.  It enables them to work together with the students in small groups and have more one-to-one interactions.            

Kolkata Flyover Collapsed 25 killed and Several Injured

  Posted on 01 Apr , 2016 by QBreaker No Comments Kolkata had experienced a dreadful day yesterday, 31st March. From morning it was a normal day like any other month ends. People were rushing towards office; students were hurrying for their schools- the city picture is as same as every day. But on the mid-noon the city of joy shivered with terror and ear-splitting sound of explosion. One of the under-construction flyovers of Kolkata had been collapsed. It was the Vivekananda Setu. It happened near the famous Ganesh Talkies in north Kolkata's Girish Park area. Those who know the area can imagine how crowded it is. There are a range of shops, office, and market place in this area, generally over flooded with working class people. At first near about 500 people were trapped under the debris, including personal cars, cabs and some minibuses too. Uncountable people were severely injured and taken to the hospital, among few of them were declared as dead. Officially 25 people are declared dead, though there are still a large number of people are trapped under the bridge. The central rescue team is working on the situation. The police have sealed the Kolkata office of IVRCL Infrastructure, the implementing organization of Kolkata’s Vivekananda Road Flyover. Previously, the Kolkata police had lodged an FIR with charges of murder against this Hyderabad-based company, whose chief articulated the mishap as an “act of God”. The investigating team, recruit by the government, has found that the IVRCL so far has been blacklisted twice. Now the question is who will take the responsibility of this mishap? Unofficially, it is stated that near about 200 hundred people have been killed due to this accident. Most of them are young workers, women and children. Social media is flooded with heartfelt condolence. Young students are arranging blood donation camp to help the wounded. Kolkata civilians are working hand in hand with the central rescue team to speed up the rescue operation. It seems, maybe we are diverse in political opinion, cultural perception and believes, our hearts beat together. Maybe there is a bit of humanity left apart from the political quarrel and communal debates.
