Education v/s literacy- concern of school - life line of parents

Being literate is not the same as being educated. Education is more of a process than an ability. It's a cycle: observe -> learn -> understand -> apply -> observe. Literacy is a tool in this process. Your choice of education is academic in this process .

We need to work hand in hand.....

 It is important to understand this. Literacy is not the only way to be educated. Suppose you want to be an amazing cook? You have to burn your fingers, burn the food, burn a few utensils, know the difference between salt and lemon and so on.
Richard Branson- CEO of Virgin Airlines-
Richard Branson in his own words :
"I have never been shy in sharing my opinion about education. I wasn’t inspired at school. In fact I started my first business, Student Magazine, at the age of 15 in part to campaign against the schooling of the day. At the time, I was given an ultimatum: 'stay in school and give up the magazine, or pursue the magazine and leave school'. I chose to leave and have never looked back."

The celebrated entrepreneur recently participated in a debate:"Is education keeping up with the 21st century? "

" We need to move away from spoon-feeding stale and standardize curriculums and turn students into professional thinkers who have full responsibility for their own understanding".

Teachers As Role Models.

"Teachers at S E International School, are trained to keep their relations with students,which taste like Chocolate, and  not like Medicine"  Teachers As Role Models A role model is a person who inspires and encourages us to strive for greatness, live to our fullest potential and see the best in ourselves. A role model is someone we admire and someone we aspire to be like. We learn through them, through their commitment to excellence and through their ability to make us realize our own personal growth. We look to them for advice and guidance. A role model can be anybody: a parent, a sibling, a friend but some of our most influential and life-changing role models are  teachers . “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” ―  Franklin D.

Exams,schooling,tuition classes and livelihood are parents' concerns

In IIT, only 1% gets admission. But what happens to 99% ? SUNDER PICHAI- IIT graduate - GOOGLE CEO In fact children have plenty of energy and are very keen to learn new things. They have hundreds of questions to ask. With right environment, good emotional support and freedom to explore and develop, giving little training at the right stage will make them perform well in exam and real life. Narayan Murthy- IIT Graduate- Founder of INFOSYS However trends in society seem to be going in the opposite direction, where questions in the text books are the only important questions and child's question becomes irrelevant.
