What significant challenges does climate change pose for India, considering its geographical diversity, population size, and economic structure?

I think almost anyone will easily say it’s quality education. Those freebies are there to inspire the students to keep on coming back to schools.
But, what is quality education?
Is it the education that private school students get? Because I’d disagree that they are getting quality education either. Obviously, from an academic and marks perspective, yes but from a social and emotional perspective, no. Even from a mental perspective, no. Students aren’t taught basic skills such as critical thinking, analyzing, etc. It follows a ‘dictatorship’ model whereby the teacher is the dictator, and students are its followers. What this does is, induce fear into their growing brains. A fear-based teaching model is never okay, it only yields to temporary results as well as scars the child’s brain. Now, the ‘quality education’ has made this adult depressed, as well as fearful or even worse, he has become as scary as his teachers.
I’m not blaming the teachers; I know how hard it is to handle students while maintaining your cool. I’m blaming the system at large whereby our students’ emotional and mental health is neglected. If the teachers were given proper training instead of simply hiring those who have a better knowledge of their subject, then it would’ve been better and that is what I’d call ‘quality education’.
As for the government schools, I think it is hard to maintain proper infrastructure, pay for their teachers’ salary, training as well as give freebies. Hence, for now the freebies way is pertaining. But is it better?
If freebies are given:
- Students will come regularly.
- They will have motivation to study.
- They may not pay attention to class and only focus on freebies.
- Teachers may not be as qualified.
If quality education is given and negligible freebies:
- Students may not come regularly.
- Those that are coming, will genuinely grow and learn.
- Students may feel motivated via fun activities and workshops held by the teacher.
- Teacher will genuinely engage and help the child learn.
It seems obvious that why second option is better or why quality education is better.
But if an organization or school has lesser students, their business won’t generate as much profit. This at the end is the answer to almost every problem, how money keeps us stuck, almost every organization must generate more profit to prosper or else they won’t work out.
I wish there was a straight cut answer to your question, but it never is. It usually leads us to dilemmas..
