After exam

Studies over. Holiday on. This is probably the time children will have most fun simply because they know there is work to be done after the results. So even if they feel tired they still want to take advantage of this particular period which happens only after exams and specifically after board exams.

We should not stop them from having fun. But when they do take a break we need them to do something for themselves. Have a certain idea what they would like to do in life. 

We can categorize children into 3 broad types regarding career and future planning.

2 categories of students

1. Students who have an idea what they are going to do. Notice I did not say students who know what they want to do. These students have chosen science. Maybe they want to become doctors or engineers or chartered accountants. This all depends on their environment they have been brought up in. Maybe their parents are already in the profession they have chosen. It is also highly possible that the children have chosen the profession because they saw themselves as a doctor or engineer or a CA.

Part of this category are children who are from business class and they know what they would eventually be doing. Unless of course they decide on a different path.

2. The second and large chunk of students have no idea what they are going to do. They are the ones whose parents are either in small jobs or in occupations that are less glamorous. Chances are they are not earning handsomely either. That is the reason they do not encourage their children to emulate them. 

The problem with these children is that they have minimum direction and no aspiration since they have no one to emulate. They are now waiting for their results so they can choose their stream according to their marks. Good marks and they will probably go to commerce. Some will probably take up science. If some get not so good marks then they will take arts. Some will fail. For these students the options are for giving the exam again or get to work - or as parents would say learn something worth while.

These a the students that make a difference to the progress of any nation because they constitute a big chunk of the student body. And these are the ones that need direction.

Unfortunately, for them they have wasted 12-13 years of their life learning something which they did not grasp fully and something which they may not find useful in their professional life.

These children will go to college in herds. They will choose the college their close friends have chosen. They go to college because they want to enjoy college life. For most of them it's the thrill of wearing trendy clothes and being away from nagging parents. However, when most of them, not all, but most of them, graduate they will usually look for jobs by influence because they have no inkling what use the information that they learned in school is. 

So what's the solution for these children?

In the face of it, the solution is simple. You noticed how or school and college system works. It gives one size fits all information

 Give these children direction. And once they ate sure where they want to go - give them information.

 who are waiting for their results. Who will decide after results

Results agar pass ho gaye to science, commerce or arts. 

So this is for those students who have not decided. 

First. You are very late. You should have decided so that you could have planned your STD 10 result that way. 

Have you decided on you career.

Tags 5 minutes out to know what to do.

But there is good news for you. You will probably be the more successful people of the lot.

By successful I don't mean millionaires but people who have found a balance in life.

So today we will take the first step towards choosing a career.

When you talk of carets we think of engineering, medical maybe marketing, CA maybe.

lekin this is not the way to decide your profession

What you do is when you settle down for the night take a piece of paper and write down the T least 5 things you like to do. At least 5 

Apptitude tests. Psychometric tests.

one set of people are supposed to join their family business and depending on the business they pay attention to studies. agar shop hai toh pass ho gaye toh great and then commerce.

doctors ke bacche doctors etc

but there is a large section of students that has not decided what to do

how can that be solved.

Hi guys. Exams are over and what are most of us thinking about. Yes. It's party time. It is simple logic. Nobody knows what the result is going to be so we worry. And I agree completely. This is not the time to worry. In fact, it is never the time to worry. Worrying never solved anything. Partying too will not really help in anyway except give some satisfaction for a little time. How would you like to party when you want all your life. Sounds nice? For that you will have to pay a small price.
I would suggest using this time to do something constructive.
Note down things you enjoy doing
Catch up on hobby - learn something more about it.
Education is for becoming good human being
Games: swimming, take tennis, football.

The people who want to become doctor or engineer will have already started running around for application forms and ncert books. They know what they want. This is for people who don't know what they want to do in life.
Cook, hotel management, gourmet, connosiuere

For those who already know what they would like to do they can start honing their skills

The ncert survey

The national achievement survey had highlighted what has been worrisom trend for some time. That the urban education situation has become bad. It is not easy to slide down below districts like ratnagiri and beed in education, no less. What use is then the connectivity, the technology, the facilities that people talk about when they stay back in the city for their child's education.

Girls leaving behind boys in studies has also been an obvious trend. People recognise that from news headlines during results. However, the options to choose from are limited. While most girls choose medical, many traditional families restrict girls to get into the medical field because it is service oriented and women will have to interact with 'all sorts of people'.

Urban Education Worse than Poorer Districts

future trends of digital education in India

Urban India has usually been quick to adapt new technology after the advent of computers in India. Technology revolutionised the publishing industry, the automobile industry and almost every aspect of urban life. Yet for some reason it did not influence education. However, that seems to be changing now. Coaching classes have adapted video for revision and extra lectures, online schools are sprouting all over the internet and some education companies have come up with study platforms to teach various syllabus of national and state boards.
The challenges to overcome
The teacher ratio according to recent surveys has increased and will keep increasing to an acceptable level in the years to come. Unfortunately, the other concern about the quality of teachers has probably become worse. Many institutions including government and government aided ones prefer having teachers on contact because it helps them to xyz. Unfortunately there is no motivation for the teacher to do a good job. In fact, it becomes a reason for him or her to do next to nothing in class so parents send their children for tuitions. Many parents send their children to teachers like this because they know the children will pass the class with good marks. After all the marks a in the teachers hands. Sine see a marked improvement in their children which is compared to absolutely zero happening in class. So this double benefit gives the teacher some extra income. Unfortunately, whatever the teachers intentions he will not be able to help all the children. Helping complete the syllabus, explain concepts and assess each child is a humongous task. This is the reason why parents find their children fall further and further behind the class although in the earlier years the child may have shown a lot of promise.
Technology takes care of a couple of huge tasks. One the sharing of information. If one of of the jobs of a teacher is explaining concepts then that task can be easily offloaded to technology. A recorded lecture can explain a concept to one child and to every child whenever the child wants and as many time the child wants. Recorded lectures can do a better job because animation and illustration can be included in the lecture for better clarity.
Assessment
Computers can be easily stored with as many questions as possible and programmed to compile a questionnaire very easily. Artificial intelligence is even right now capable of compiling a questionnaire according to the abilities of each child. So a smart child can become smarter and a week child can be supported with easy questions and slowly helped towards difficulty levels. Scores can be found immediately. And software can easily find strengths and weaknesses. This can give an immediate assessment to the child about which concepts are clear and which concepts are difficult. This information can help the teacher to concentrate and explain the concepts that are not clear to the child. And this is just the tip of the Iceberg of what technology can do. The sky is the limit once we start investing in technology. Highly qualified and experienced teachers can teach a class of thousands without even having to be present. Introduction to students via Internet unsolved we are problems even if Delhi Vinay place which does not have access to qualified teachers.
The scope of artificial intelligence is such that holographic teachers can easily answer most of the questions and difficulties any child would have. It is only when human intervention is absolutely necessary for specific disorders or weaknesses of a child that human teacher's presence will be needed.
The train of homeschooling is also catching on. Parents are realising that the school is not giving their child what they believed should be offered to have a healthy mind and body. Although many schools or not offering high quality teaching they are also lacking in physical activities. The students are not encouraged in sports and many times the school does not have adequate facilities for any kind of sports activities.
