Have you heard the saying too many cooks spoil the broth? This concept is applicable to education in India, too, where students are shuttled from one institution to the other like a football – school, specialized hobby classes, coaching centers, you name it. Students often feel too burnt out to be able to really process information properly. Furthermore, most students do not feel very comfortable in clarifying doubts and bridging learning gaps – most tuition centers and classrooms are crammed with too many students for this to be viable.
The harsh reality is traditional education in India is in need of a massive overhaul. Many parents have already come to terms with this fact. Yet, they tend to opt for online learning platforms as a supplement. However, not every child has the discipline to learn online when so many distractions are also a click of a button away.
So, what is the best way forward? The need of the hour is to create a holistic education system that combines education and technology, tradition and innovation!
Holistic education is essential for a vast array of reasons –
- It offers students a more thorough understanding of connections between different subject areas
- It enables students to implement skill sets in practical situations
- It empowers students to improve their communication skills
- It enhances students’ critical thinking skills and rewards curiosity / innovation
- It ensures learning is engaging, efficient and stress-free
- It allows students to discover their real strengths
- It creates a safe learning environment where no question is “stupid”
- It boosts each student’s creativity and confidence
The world is evolving astonishing quickly – there are more tools at each student’s disposal than ever before. In addition, gone are the days when there were only a handful of professions to choose from – nowadays, there are hundreds of new professions emerging, which require a different set of specialized skills.
Holistic education is important because it addresses the rapidly changing professional landscape; the entire approach of holistic education is to take into consideration each student’s unique needs. Holistic education transforms each child into a well-rounded young adult who is capable of drawing from different subject areas easily in the real-world.
If you want more from your child’s education, holistic education is your answer. In essence, holistic education addresses academic, social, psychological and emotional development to the fullest. Holistic education doesn’t turn students into parrots who memorize facts and figures of core subjects blindly; it instead opens their minds to a world of offbeat topics and skill-sets that will enable them to stand the test of time in the workforce, eventually.
