I feel immensely privileged to have got the opportunity to express my views on ‘School of the future will have no books and no teacher’; I am going to speak in favour of the motion.
I strongly feel the schools of future will have no books and no teachers. There is a famous proverb that says: ‘Coming events cast their shadows before’. It means the coming changes can be seen from the present signs. The future world is going to be dominated by commuters and artificial intelligence. Everywhere computers will take over; similarly education will also be taken over by computers.
Even in the modern times, Computers have become ubiquitous owing to their versatility. What is it not that you can't do with a computer? They are the gods of the modern era! Naturally the field of education has also been influenced positively by use of computers. They have made the learning in classrooms much more convenient, easier, simpler, colouful, fun-filled, and efficient. Expert teachers teach students using smart boards and interactive whiteboards. Computers have enabled both students and teachers process learning data many times faster than was possible in a traditional classroom.
The computers store the teaching and learning data systematically stored which can be so easily accessed by anyone wanting it. Internet has further facilitated sharing of knowledge available abundantly on all the subjects. School websites now provide all the educational information required by parents and students. Aspiring students can look up the internet for any information and knowledge they require while studying or doing assignments. So computers have really made education quite romantic. There is a modern Renaissance in education owing to computers.
At present the computers are operated by teachers, however, in future the computers will become so sophisticated that they won’t require teachers.
The concept of virtual classes has already become very popular among the students. According to whatis.techtarget.com: ‘A virtual classroom is an online learning environment. The environment can be web-based and accessed through a portal or software-based and require a downloadable executable file.’
The site further elaborates that just like in a real classroom; a student in a virtual classroom participates and interacts with the teacher like a real class-room teaching-learning interaction.
In future the learning and teaching programs will be so advanced that learners won’t require any help of a human teacher. The teaching will be fully automated and modified and adapted according to the needs of the students.
So I conclude my speech by reaffirming that the school of the future will have no books and no teacher
An expert committee headed by T S R Subramanian set up to formulate the new National Education Policy had last year recommended that the ‘No-Detention Policy’ be reviewed and exams are held from Class VI. Recently, Union Cabinet has approved the scrapping of the no-detention policy in schools till Class VIII.
In this article, we discuss if the no-detention policy should be scrapped from the next academic year. Has the no-detention policy negatively impacted the quality of basic education in the country? Let’s see.
What is ‘No-Detention’ policy?As per the No-Detention Policy under the Right to Education Act, no student can be failed or expelled from school till the completion of elementary education covering classes 1 to 8. All the students up till Class 8 will automatically be promoted to next class.The essence of the policy is that children should not be ‘failed’ and detained up to Class 8. There are no “examinations” in the narrow traditional sense of the word up to Class 8. Instead, the Act mandates a process of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) to assess and evaluate the student’s learning.The Right To Education (RTE) ActThe Constitution (Eighty-sixth Amendment) Act, 2002 inserted Article 21-A in the Constitution of India to provide free and compulsory education of all children in the age group of six to fourteen years as a Fundamental Right in such a manner as the State may, by law, determine.It means that every child has a right to full-time elementary education of satisfactory and equitable quality in a formal school which satisfies certain essential norms and standards.It came into effect on 1 April 2010.The RTE Act provides for:Every child in the age group of 6-14 has the right to free and compulsory education in a neighbourhood school, till the completion of elementary education.Private schools will have to take 25% of their class strength from the weaker section and the disadvantaged group of the society through a random selection process. The government will fund the education of these children.No donation and capitation fee is allowed.No admission test or interview either for child or parents.No child can be held back, expelled and required to pass the board examination till the completion of elementary education.There is provision for the establishment of commissions to supervise the implementation of the act.
