Role of Students in Society !
Today’s youth is tomorrow’s nation. And today’s youth are our students. Students do pay a vital role in the society and how a society is shaped generation after generations. The formative period of an individual is during the student phase and hence it is known to be the crucial time of life. What is being sown today is what shall be reaped later.
Education is where a student gets formed from. Education is in-fact character building in students. It through education that he understands the facts and figures and how things ought to be sorted and what is the current scenario and many other relevant important factors. Based on these factors are what he redesigns his thoughts and ideas and this is what helps him in due course when being an adult.
Education enables the student to understand within himself his strengths and freedom in his life. Education starts not only at school, but from every home. A child learns from his home, school and then from the society and thus every individual that a kid interacts, influences his life later on.
When students are being treated with due respect and responsibility, they have also lived up to be responsible and respect in return to the society. When being recognized, they have the acceptance to work for a better society through hardships rather than giving up in between.Today, there are many activities that students take initiatives for the betterment of the society. We have seen that students of the younger classes taking steps to plant tress and thus promoting awareness programs on protecting tress and the importance of planting trees for the coming generations, rather than felling trees. There are activities where students promote for the awareness of old age and rescue shelters. College going students take the initiatives to help the old and abandoned people on the streets and get them to a rescue shelter or homes that provide proper food, clothing and medication for them.
Apart from these , when there is a natural calamity in any part of the globe, schools across the globe contribute to the affected people and place what they can and this kind of programs would help realize young children the importance of brotherhood. At schools there are the NCC camps and Scout troops that have been trained and in such situations they have been of immense help and have done real commendable services to the nation.
Apart from services, we have political arena where students are seen. With the right kind of motivation and guidance, they could become the most trustworthy, most accepted and sensible leaders for tomorrow. However, if exploited, they could become the worst and corrupt leaders. It is we who bring the good and bad out in our students.
We have seen how the youth stand as one against the negative aspects like corruption, violence, terrorism and fight for the peace and security of the nation. However we see that there is a lack of patriotism in the youth slowly coming up which destroys the harmony and peace of the nation.
Students act as bridges between two generations. They need to realize and understand the happening of today and eliminate the bad and extract the good and implement for tomorrow. For this understanding , the right education with the right involvement of the happening is a requirement and the education system should see to it that are being equipped for a better understanding rather than classifying education as elementary, secondary or higher education. The syllabus and the activities should be framed in such a manner that it is interactive and interesting so that students understand and signify the importance of what they learn.
If we do not mould our youth today, we may have to regret tomorrow as tomorrow’s nation is in the hands of our upcoming youth and they in turn would pass on what they have acquired in a better format to the forth coming generations, thus enabling the nation to grow in all sectors and make is one among the most powerful and harmonious nations of tomorrow.
Set an example for your young child and he will make sure that he lives up to your expectations for tomorrow. When every family sets an example, it would grow into the society and thus grow out to the nation. So let us join hands now for a better tomorrow through our youth who are budding students now. India needs us and we should stand for HER….
Answer:
Role and importance of student in society
There are conflicting views regarding student politics and unions. Some people consider student politics as the only way for young people belonging to middle- and lower-middle classes and the working class to enter mainstream politics.
Student politics provides an opportunity for young men and women without big money, family connections and patronage to emerge on the political scene. Student politics introduce them to different political ideologies and ideas. This increases their understanding of political, social and economic issues and their solutions. They learn a culture of tolerance and democratic debate.
But for some it is all a waste of time, energy and talent. They believe that student politics spoils students so they should just concentrate on their studies to get their degrees. They argue that student politics encourage violence and intolerance. But historical facts negate this assertion.
Politics in its essence is not lies or deceit or showing muscle and money power or using the dirty tactics to gain power. This is more the power politics of the ruling classes and elite. They need lies, dirty tactics and distortions to hide the failure of their governance, socio-economic system and policies.
Politics is the way for the oppressed, deprived and exploited classes and the middle class to change their socio-economic conditions and improve their living and working conditions. The ruling classes create and spread the perception that politics is the dirtiest thing to do so good people must stay away from it. This perception serves the interests of ruling classes perfectly well.
It is generally believed that politics is the domain of feudals, capitalists, former civil and military bureaucrats and influential rich families. So middle class and working class people should not indulge in politics.
The ruling classes and the powers that be are the ones who are afraid of student politics. They see the rise of student politics as a threat to their interests and elitist politics. Young leaders and activists bring new ideas, thoughts and energy into political parties. The political leaders and activists that emerge from student politics and unions put pressure on the structures of different political parties to accommodate them. They challenge the old layer of leadership. That is what most of the leaders don’t want.
So it is not easy thing to engage in politics at a young age in societies like Pakistan. One has to face lot of problems and overcome many odds to enter the arena of student politics and activism. But these odds multiply when one enters progressive and leftwing politics. Opposition comes from family, university/college administrations and state authorities. There are just a few lucky people who gets family support for his radical progressive activism.
