Subject Education beyond Classroom Teaching
Sir,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards Education beyond Classroom Teaching. Most schools seem to believe that classroom education is the only stepping stone to success. They go so over-board with the examinations that the schedule for junior classes resembles that of the Civil Services examination. In the process, they overlook other talents and skills of students like music, painting sports and qualities of head and heart such as courage, chivalry, personality, wit and friendship. Instead of pushing and prodding the children like beasts of burden, they should aim for the overall development of children.
The school should implement ways in which learning can take place outside the classroom. This includes short visits into the school grounds and local community, as well as visits to farms, factories, offices, neighbourhood science centres and natural settings such as a forest or a national park.
Moreover, providing students with high-quality learning activities in relevant situations beyond the walls of the classroom is vital for helping students appreciate their first-hand experiences from a variety of different perspectives.
Yours faithfully
your name
