The dawn of 2021 brings in new ray of hope. The things might
come back to the normalcy.The past year was topsy-turvy yet it proved to a
touchstone, an eye opener for the entire world.
We can base
our future learning from past. The past year’s experience made us realize that
now we can’t be job seekers but now we all need to be job creators. That’s the
new normal, create opportunities for yourself, don’t knock the doors rather
open your own doors and windows.
Last year’s experience made us realize that
the education system should not decide the future of the students rather
students needs and demands should be in alliance with the education system.
In simple words
if my 25 years of education teaches me to create jobs for myself I should be
thankful to my education system but if still I have to seek jobs from others
less than my competencies than I have to rethink about my education.
Recently, I have
heard of a school in Orissa where the children were taught how to make toys of
all sorts the entire year rather than
conducting futile one way of online teaching which doesn’t make any sense. The
real lifelong learning that the children have achieved by making toys will open
new arenas for them.
The debate
is not to prove anything right or wrong. But the debate is to ask questions to
ourselves-
Are we prepared for the future?
The education system is coming up
with many reforms yet the journey is too long and we and our mindsets can bring
the change.
Let us evolve from rote learning, mugging,
memorizing to asking questions, researching, analyzing and learning by doing.
I am sure each one of you might have
explored something new about yourself in 2020. It ‘s time to give wings to those
little explorations, writing a short poem, singing old movie songs, testing
hands on new recipes, creating your own blogs, storytelling, knitting, health
and fitness tips , gossiping and many more.
It is time to bring your small
little achievements into limelight.
If each one is able
to do so,
that’s where the
seeds of change shall sow
Know your own competencies, your
mastery, your subjects of interest and your own explorations and new
innovations will lead you to the path of success.
Remember: Be Job
Creators not Job Seekers
Waiting for your views in this
regard as together we shall bring an enormous change for the sustainable
future.
