Given the right to education, is the government effectively fulfilling this need?
Research has shown that in a country like Mexico, one out of two teens won’t finish high school. In India, the number is a tiny bit lower but alarming, where one out of three students don’t complete their schooling.

Research has shown that in a country like Mexico, one out of two teens won’t finish high school. In India, the number is a tiny bit lower but alarming, where one out of three students don’t complete their schooling. The constitution of India enforces the right to compulsory education for every student between the age of 6-14. However, it has been observed that a large majority of the Indian population especially those below the poverty line do not have access to or are unable to make it to school.
This is primarily because no punishment has been prescribed for the parents who do not send their children to school and the indiscriminate employment of children in the unorganized sector.The government should enforce laws such as those deployed in the US, Canada, and other developed countries where parents can be summoned for their failure to admit children into educational institutions. Another contributory factor to children dropping out of government education institutions is that they are sub-par, unhygienic, and inadequately staffed. Stricter and more frequent audits of educational administrative bodies will help improve the condition of free basic education in India and be one of the contributing factors towards increasing attendance.

Education is changing, and problem-solving and critical thinking skills are becoming more and more seen as important parts of a modern program. When compared to traditional learning methods that focus on memorization, these skills are very important for getting students ready for the complicated world we live in now.
Traditional Ways of Learning vs. the New Curriculum
Memorization and passively taking in knowledge are big parts of traditional learning. Students are often tested on how well they can remember times, facts, and formulas. This method is basic, but it doesn’t always give students the skills they need to use what they have learned in new situations or solve problems they haven’t seen before. In the old way of teaching, the focus is on what students know rather than how they apply that information.
Modern lessons, on the other hand, put a lot of stress on problem-solving and critical thinking. Students can use these skills to think about what they’ve learned, compare different points of view, and apply what they have learned to real-life situations. This change shows that more people are realizing that just remembering things isn’t enough in a time of fast technology progress and complicated global problems.
Critical thinking is taught in modern schools.
Being able to question beliefs, review arguments, and make thoughtful choices are all parts of critical thinking. Critical thinking isn’t just an extra in today’s schools it’s a part of every class. In science class, for example, students might not just learn about known theories but also plan experiments to test hypotheses.
Critical thinking is an important part of many school subjects because it helps students develop the mental flexibility they need to deal with and answer difficult problems. It gets them to look at problems from different points of view, which helps them understand the material and its bigger effects better. This method also helps students become more independent thinkers because they learn to come up with and defend their own ideas.
How to Solve Problems in Today’s Schools
Problem-solving skills are also very important for getting kids ready for what they will face in the real world. Modern curricula stress creative and strategic problem-solving over traditional methods that might focus on following set steps to solve problems that have already been outlined. This is often done through project-based learning, in which students work together to solve real-world problems.
In math class, for example students might work on projects that require them to use math to solve problems in the community, like making a budget for an event or looking at facts about the environment. These kinds of projects not only help students get better at math, but they also teach them how to solve problems in a methodical and creative way.
Problem-solving tasks in modern lessons often involve working with others, which is because many problems in the real world need people to work together and see things from different points of view. Students learn how to speak clearly, delegate tasks, and consider different points of view by working in groups. This prepares them for the collaborative nature of most modern workplaces.
Why focusing on these skills is a good idea
In many ways, teaching kids to think critically and solve problems prepares them for the complicated world we live in now. First, it gives them the skills to deal with unfamiliar problems. In a job market that changes quickly, being able to solve problems and think critically is more valuable than having specific technical information that may become useless.
2. These skills help you keep learning throughout your life. Students are better prepared to keep learning and growing throughout their lives as they get better at critical thinking and fixing problems. In a world where constant change and new ideas are the rule, this ability to adapt is very important.
To sum up, adding problem-solving and critical thinking to modern lessons fixes the problems with the old way of learning by focusing on how students use what they’ve learned and deal with problems in the real world. This method not only helps students do better in school, but it also trains them to be useful, flexible, and thoughtful members of society.

The Education system in India, at present is working on the hit or miss tactic. With numerous schools in every corner of the society we often feel that the education, literacy is growing day by day whereas this is just a facade.
There have been an introduction of numerous policies to enhance the cognitive thinking as well as skill development of students. The reality lies far from this. In today’s time, the policy makers, the teaching staff and even the students, all tolerate the ‘education’ for a secure job, a good shelter, food and clothing. With the introduction of so many boards, the state boards, CBSE, ICSE, ISC, NIOS, Cambridge curiiculum, Indians feel that that the education system is just growing more and more but you can always know how much it grew when you go to the nearest prestigious school or college and ask a student to pronounce education or ask the easiest question possible. They are blank. Thay are not able to answer anything that comes outside their particular course book because that is what they need to pass the exams.
Education is not only a right but the most beautiful and dignified possession in the world. And this possession is being toyed around nowadays for some grades. The fault lies in all the sections of society.
THE POLICY MAKERS –
The Policy Makers feel that their job at improving the education system ends with the documentation of policies. Each and every minister knows that the officials are bribed when they present an all good report of the functioning of institutes. But no action is taken until a casualty takes place.
As we know that the New Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020) focused primarily on easing out the educational processes and making skill learning a compulsory part of the curriculum. But the question that rises here is, that even after four years of the release of the policy, was it able to actually help or improve any student? Is it actually being followed correctly or not. And most importantly do the students even know what this actually is or how it is beneficial to them. In some schools and colleges even the teachers do not know what NEP 2020 promises and demands.
THE GUARDIAN –
The parents are most at fault when it comes to not letting the child get the actual education he/she needs. We have often seen parents pressuring their kids to take up a certain career because it will help find them job easily. Th child often has to leave behind his/her choices because according to their parents it will bring shame to the society. This pressurising in the long run leads to discontentment, depression and most of the times suicides.
Parents for the sake of becoming famous or bigger in the society are seen compelling their kids to get higher positions, full grades and participate in arenas that they take no interest in.The Education system in India, at present is working on the hit or miss tactic.

STUDENTS –
With the fast growing technology, we see mobile phones, ipad, tablets in the hands of every teenager but it is near to impossible to find one child with a book in their hand. The fast growing gaming platforms, social media, influencers web it is impossible for a child to stay away from its traps. And moreover with the negligence md incapability of the teaching staff more than 50% of students study from free online sources like YouTube, byju’s, telegram,etc.
Nowadays we often see students studying just for the sake of being promoted to the next class. There is no thrive to become better or to acknowledge the importance of righteous education.
THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
In utmost honesty, the future of education system is in shambles. With teachers coming to school for attendance and payment, policy makers earning money through bribes and students neglecting the need of education it is difficult to say if we will have be have a board full of scientists, astronauts, honest officers, doctors or any other professional service men.
The future of education system can be improved when-
The officials need to put some serious and actual work rules which involves the development of child, society as well as nation. The inspection department needs to be made strong. There should be some secret agents reporting the wrongs to the higher officials. Any malpractices or negligence in this matter should be dismissed.
The students from the primary age should be given to learn atleast one hobby or skill without any force and by their own choice. It should be made sure that they were not forced by their parents too.
The teachers should do what they are actually hired for, that is, to teach. Not just make the students learn or read out the textbooks but actually teach them. In a country where more than half of the students does not know the difference between a theory and a fact means that the students are just plainly reading and learning line by line without the care of what is taught.
“Be the change that you want to see in the society”
The students should believe in the said quote and start acknowledging their studies and studying for growth and development and not just for grades. They too must try and develop a skill or hobby. Students should be made to realise that they are the future of country and they must do something for it. They must try to know more and more about the theories and facts that they read and not just be confined to their textbooks.

Maturity is the ability to respond to life’s situations with wisdom, emotional intelligence, and self-control. It goes beyond age, encompassing how we understand ourselves and relate to others. A mature person is capable of handling challenges and setbacks with a calm, measured approach, recognizing that life is filled with both ups and downs.
Maturity involves a deep sense of responsibility, not just for oneself but also for others. It includes understanding the consequences of one’s actions and making decisions that are considerate of the broader impact. A mature individual can balance their emotions, avoiding impulsive reactions and instead thinking things through before acting.
Communication is another hallmark of maturity. The ability to listen actively, express oneself clearly, and engage in constructive dialogue reflects a mature approach to relationships. It’s about being open to feedback and willing to learn from experiences.
Maturity also means accepting that life is not always fair and that we can’t control everything. It’s the recognition that growth often comes from discomfort and that true strength lies in our ability to adapt and grow. Ultimately, maturity is about striving for balance and seeking understanding, both of oneself and the world around us.

In today’s distraction-heavy world, staying productive requires intentional strategies. Start by setting clear, specific goals, breaking them into manageable tasks to maintain focus. Establishing a daily routine helps, aligning work with your natural productivity peaks. Incorporate time management techniques like the Pomodoro Technique—work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break—to enhance concentration and prevent burnout.
Minimize distractions by identifying and addressing them. This might mean turning off non-essential notifications, using apps that block distracting sites, or creating a dedicated workspace. Establish boundaries to protect your focus; inform others of your work hours and avoid multitasking, which can reduce efficiency.
Prioritize physical health by ensuring adequate sleep and regular exercise, which can boost cognitive function and overall productivity. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation, can improve your ability to stay present and focused.
Leverage productivity tools like task managers (e.g., Todoist) and note-taking apps (e.g., Notion) to stay organized and track progress. Regularly review and adjust your productivity strategies to find what works best for you. Balance work with personal time to maintain a healthy work-life equilibrium.
Ultimately, being kind to yourself is crucial. Productivity isn’t about relentless effort but finding a sustainable balance that fosters efficiency while allowing for personal well-being.

Technology has become a crucial aspect of human life, with every field using it to reduce repetitive work and enhance productivity. Education, too, has been impacted in significant ways.
Presentation: Technology has introduced smart boards, graphics, and other tools that make presenting educational content easier. For students, concepts are easier to understand through animations, presentations, and other visual aids. It is especially useful in kindergarten, making education more interesting and engaging.
Accessibility: With the internet, students can access a variety of courses from all over the world, eliminating the barrier of geographical distance. Now, students can easily access millions of books and lectures through their smartphones.
Affordability: The rise of the internet and Ed-Tech companies has increased competition, reducing the cost of education for students. Many resources are free and easily accessible, helping students improve their academic performance.
Easy Analysis: Software is now available to help teachers track student progress. Artificial intelligence has made research easier than ever before. Students can also use technology to enhance their own performance.
Negative Impacts:
Creates Confusion: The abundance of resources can make it difficult for students to select the most useful ones. Free resources, in particular, are often scattered, requiring students to first compile necessary information according to their needs.
Over-reliance on Technology: Excessive dependence on technology can reduce students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as they might rely more on animations, graphics, or quick answers from the web rather than working through problems themselves.
Reduced Social Interaction: Online learning environments can diminish face-to-face interaction, which is crucial for developing communication skills, teamwork, and other social skills.
Balancing technology with traditional methods can create a more effective and inclusive educational experience for students.
