Competition Oriented Schooling - Manish Jaiswal

Hello Everyone, once again, I am before you with another relevant issue. I hope this article touches you when you are in the state of good health and spirit. Every time I come before you with a new welfare topic related to students.This time I want to draw the kind attention of educators towards the well being in the career of School students.

In our new education policy, we are very much concerned about the pattern of learning, we are providing to students. There is a lot of impact of the early school days on the career of a child. Whatever he or she learns in the school remains with him/ her till the achievement of a career.

Therefore it is of utmost importance that we give our students something efficient, very relevant and very much related to to the trending skills/requirements of the job.

Balancing between board exams and competitions

Some exams student can prepare in and after  10th are:-

National talent search Exam

Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana

Olympiad

NEET(MEDICAL CAREER)

IIT JEE & ADVANCED( ENGINEERING CAREER)

SSC EXAMS ( GOVT.JOBS)

OTHERS

One of the several issues is competition exams which a student faces after schooling in the years of graduation to get a job. 

If a student is provided with the exact information on the career options by the school faculty then mostly the students make up their mind to go in a particular stream as per their knowledge, skill, interest and aspirations.

After the information on career options, faculty members should guide the students toward the syllabus and requirements different career options. It means which exam will lead to his desired career.

Then information of the syllabus good books, study material and guidance (what to study and how much is to study) is needed to be given to students.

We should tell them how much of the current curriculum will contribute to the competitive exam. It will raise the awareness of student and will give him the motive of studying current class syllabus.

Teachers should share some interviews of toppers of competition exams, revealing their strategy to get success.

We should guide students about how to maintain a perfect balance between class curriculum and competitive syllabus.

More emphasis should be given to multiple-choice questions, and one-word answers as it is the inherent pattern in all competitive exams.

Reference books should be included while covering the NCERT curriculum. Teachers should sort out topics common to both board exams and competitions and focus more on them.

Emphasis should be given on both speed and accuracy of the students in answering the questions.

The occasional test may be planned on the pattern based on career exams.

Orienting the students towards the pattern of career exams has become the need of the hour.

Thank you.

Hope and Friendship - Bharti Rao

Hope is the optimistic state of mind which helps us to expect that something is going to happen. Hope is a feeling of trust, builds confidence, belief for positive outcomes. Hope brings us out from our pains and in our journey of life it gives us the courage to come out of our problems. Hope is the ray of light which brings us out from the darkness to a new and fresh morning.

Hope is a dream where we think of the possibility of an enlarged horizon. Hope gives us the courage to fight against our sufferings and problems. It helps us to gain confidence that our future will be bright. If we possess the quality of Hope then nothing is impossible for us. Hope will strengthen your faith and aspirations and help you to achieve the aim of your life. Hope will always encourage us and push us to overcome all obstacles of life.  Students come to school with a hope of learning. Teacher with his unique style of teaching inspires, motivates and engages his students engross in learning. 

  

A true friend is one who walks with you in your journey of life when the rest of the world walks out. A friend is one who knows you as you understand and accepts the way you are. He is there always to support and guide us even in our moments of darkness.  Hope and friends are interconnected and both push us forward to overcome our difficulties. In the school we experience many times when the students exhibit true friendship. They help them in their tasks and sometimes also hide their flaws. Friendship possesses the quality of honesty and transparency. 

True friends are never apart, maybe in distance but not by heart. They understand each other and are always there to hold their friends in their hard times. Friends are the one who laugh with us, cry with us and smile with us. Friendship has a huge impact on mental health and happiness. Good friends always prevent loneliness and isolation. True friends boost our willpower and increase our chances of success. Friendship is the bond of trust and loyalty.

Counseling on Careers needs to include family’s aspirations and circumstances.

Counseling on Careers needs to include family’s aspirations and circumstances. Not just student’s aptitude and grades. | RLS's Blog

Most “Career Counsellors” use a couple of key tools to maximize their interaction with the students. These tools are primarily the inferences from an aptitude testing and then a library of guides that indicate that what aptitude link up to various careers. Some also look at the grades that the student has been getting in the subjects being attempted. To most this will look as a good game plan. Now consider…
