FOLLOWING R THE DIFFERENCES :--
●In India, respect is a key element in achieving this goal and it is taught in the very early stages of school. The day in almost any school in India starts by greeting the class teacher with, “good morning ma’am” or “good morning sir.” The teacher is welcomed by the whole class standing up as soon as the class teacher arrives. The pupils then simultaneously greet the teacher along with a slight bow of the upper part of the body as a gesture of respect. This comes naturally to pupils in India, even when a teacher is passing by in the school premises. This is because respect for teachers and their positive contribution in defining people is instilled in Indian pupils at a very young age, both at school and at home. It is with this respect, that pupils then receive and value the education in a positive manner. Interestingly, Indian teachers hold this level of respect for the principal or head of the school.
●Discipline is also a key factor. School in India started at 7.15am and finished at 1.30pm (summer timings). No pupil was allowed to be late except with a written note from a parent explaining the reason and which would almost certainly be verified at some point. The six day working week meant waking up around 5.30am everyday excluding Sundays. The school also had a zero tolerance approach towards indiscipline , where the teachers could employ their powers to punish a pupil for misbehaviour, which included non-compliance to rules regarding homework, schoolwork, uniform, unpolished shoes and even hairstyle. The punishment ranged from standing outside of the class to expulsion and even the use of corporal punishment, depending upon the severity of the misconduct. Of course, the punishment given was completely at the discretion of the teacher.
●Tuition Classes: The day did not finish at 1.30pm for many pupils, including my children. After school, pupils in India attend tuition classes where they are re-taught the subject in question again are able to clear any doubts they may have about topics which they may find challenging or reinforcement of the topics for extra practice. On some occasions, especially during exams, pupils attend tuition classes before the start of school and some finishing as late as 10pm after school. The reason why children are able to do this on a daily basis is because of the high level of self-disciplinewhich is partly driven by the motivation to succeed and partly by family expectations. High motivation levels are also a result of increasing competition for places in the best medical and engineering institutes which require students to successfully complete competitive exams. To put this into perspective only a handful out of tens of thousands get into the prestigious institutes based on their ranking in the exam.In the UK, teachers are also respected. Contrastingly, however, they are perceived as friendly guides and not viewed as uncompromising gurus as they are in India. My children have an informal relationship with their UK school teachers, quite similar to friends. This enables them to easily ask questions or raise concerns they have about certain topics. I know of some schools where the atmosphere is so relaxed that it’s okay to share jokes with teachers, for the teacher to talk about things which are not subject related and even where the teacher's requests are ignored. Students can sometimes feel at so much ease with their teachers and vice versa that the respect for them diminishes. The ability to approach teachers and engage in conversations about different topics with them can be beneficial for the student and teacher relationship but sometimes can run the risk of the teacher being taken for granted and diminish their level of respect. This would be almost unimaginable in India. I have found that teachers in the UK truly deserve respect but sometimes lack this because of their easy going nature and therefore sometimes taken advantage of. They are nevertheless friendly, congenial, diligent and above all exceptional educators.
●Discipline is also very important in UK schools but the enforcement is very different. Instead, they aim at promoting good behaviour by inviting leading figures or motivational speakers to inspire students, reward students with certifications, provide peer support groups , encourage volunteering within the school and engagement with the local community through community driven projects. This empowers pupils to be a part of the school and wider community engaging in activities which would bring about a positive change in the student, developing them as responsible citizens and at the same time extending support to those needing assistance.Like India, there is no doubt that the competition for places at top tier universities is fierce in the UK too.
