Global Academix is holding a workshop for educators on Saturday
Topic: Metacognition

Education should be related to real life – it should help one evolve, become a better human being and use the skills acquired to lead a better, more fulfilling life. There should not be any disconnect between classroom learning and the world outside. Learning should be holistic, meaningful and fun, but above everything else, students should love to learn. It is our job as educators and facilitators to create that awe and drive for students to strive towards becoming better human beings.

We, at GlobalAcademix, believe that Education should help bridge the gap. For example, students study about gears in school, but if the bicycle needs repairs, they go to the repair guy. That guy has probably never gone to college, but he knows how to work with gears not due to theory learnt but due to skill acquired due to practice. This gap between theory and practical should ideally be bridged through education.

Another very important aspect is what we expect from education. Most students that we spoke to said that we study because we want to earn – that is the relevance of education.

My question is are we preparing children to be able to learn to earn while they are studying. Are we imparting the right skills for them to learn handling money? We keep them away from commercial matters till they complete their studies. So the children are not interested in the learning process because they do not see the relevance of the curriculum in helping them earn. What are we doing about this?

Another issue is that the children spend too much time going for tuitions and cramming facts to ace the exams. Where is the time for them to think, to reflect, to analyse and apply? We, as parents, apply too much pressure on them to perform better in terms of getting better grades or marks. Understanding is not part of the deal most of the time.

We have to prepare children for an unforeseen future, for jobs and technologies that do not exist yet. And have we not seen this? Were we ready for online school education? No! And those who could adapt, evolve, and embrace change and technology have been able to cope up with the situation. These are the skills that I am talking about, which should be an important part of our education process, whereas what we are focusing on is memorizing a few, no, a lot of facts which are any way freely available. There is a need to develop the 4 C’s – which people have been talking about as the 21st-century skills, but I feel they have been needed forever.
These are the issues and concerns that we wish to address and incorporate in our endeavour towards education.
