Holistic Education: It’s Priorities Remain Undefined In J&K

“While teachers have to put in their best to nurture the talent of students in a classroom, the students themselves have to prepare for the examinations and show that they are competent enough to overtake their competitors in every examination they take”.

Though parents dream about holistic education at both Government and as well as Private schools but an illusion that technology would do all what is required to transform the future of children in schools won’t take the planners and practitioners of education anywhere close to the real benchmarks of holistic education. Though technology has increased accessibility of children to online guidance and coaching of students even for a prestigious completive examination like NEET but it won’t never ever replace the teacher in a classroom and students in an examination hall. Never have forget that despite digitisation of key educational platforms across the country teachers have to teach in a classrooms for nurturing the mental talent of students and students have to take examinations only in an examination to compete in a growing competitive educational world. So while teachers have to put in their best to nurture the talent of students in a classroom, the students themselves have to prepare for the examinations and show that they are competent enough to overtake their competitors in every examination they take. Undoubtedly book is the guide for the students but teachers know the causes of underperformance and also teach students the methods of using the book as a guide for improving their performance in phases if not just in one go. Though parents are always desperate to seek admissions of their wards in famed missionary schools without looking at the capacity of teachers to nurture the talents of their wards, but let them not forget the irrefutable fact that good infrastructure is not the only pre-requisite for holistic education and instead the capacity of a teacher to nurture the talent of students in a classroom matters the most.

“May be most of the private schools have good infrastructure facilities but it also an irrefutable fact that teachers in very few private schools are competent enough to nurture the mental talent of the students and similarly teachers in most of the Government schools may be competent enough to nurture the mental talent of the students but without infrastructural facilities they can neither nurture the physical nor the mental talent of the students in their schools. So by all standards of understandabilities trained and competent teachers are as good a compulsion for private schools as are the good infrastructural facilities at Government Schools”.

May be private schools are equipped well will the infrastructural facilities required for conduct of all extracurricular activities t but if the teachers are not competent enough to nurture the mental talent of the students the infrastructural facilities in the school alone won’t give students a conducive atmosphere for their all round development. Never forget that the basic benchmark for the holistic education of children is the availability of both the requisite infrastructure and as well as the availability of a competent teachers. May be most of the private schools have good infrastructure facilities but it also an irrefutable fact that teachers in very few private schools are competent enough to nurture the mental talent of the students and similarly teachers in most of the Government schools may be competent enough to nurture the mental talent of the students but without infrastructural facilities they can neither nurture the physical nor the mental talent of the students in their schools. So by all standards of understandabilities trained and competent teachers are as good a compulsion for private schools as are the good infrastructural facilities at Government Schools.
