DEBATE ON THE TOPIC THERE WILL BE NO BOOKS AND NO TEACHERS IN FUTURE FOR THE MOTION
Answers
School of
the future will have no books and no teacher (For)
Good morning
everyone present. 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 themodern 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 conceptof virtual classes has already become very popular among the students. ‘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.

I strongly
feel as long as there will be education, there will be teachers and books.
However advanced IT sector and artificial intelligence may become, teachers
will always remain indispensable. Computers can never make the lesson plans
themselves; they can only process the man-made data; they don’t have the
creativity of an innovative and dedicated teacher; they just are machines
created by man.
No computer
can write a new book. Though it can create a soft copy of the book. I strongly
differ from my knowledgeable opponents who think school of future won’t have
books and teachers. For this is impossible.
I conclude
my speech by saying that as long as there will be schools, there will be
teachers and books.
