Just Academic Curriculum - Education
By: Irfan Khan Tareen
A teacher, obviously is a good dictator (capable to steer pupils in particular direction) in the form of altering students’ personality, manners, attitudes and intellect. Without a doubt, the former is comparable to government, being responsible to provide better nourishment, offer sufficient guidance as well as to impart knowledge to students.
Surely, teaching manifests one of the noblest professions, which teem with large chunk of liabilities. As compared to parents, a teacher holds the paramount potential to bring betterment in students’ thinking and understanding. Similarly, responsible to keep latter physically and mentally thrived. Inspiring and precious words, if rendered by a teacher, can enhance students’ potential to keep working hard and focus on certain goals. This article will focus on some requisite efforts and entail few steps, which are sublimely constructive, to be demonstrated by a true teacher.
It, indeed appears a pressing issue to observe some students’ education and learning plight in many developing countries at the bottom of the ladder due to zilch academic curriculum. Dearth of motivation is perennially the leading obstacle in this scenario. Scientific Research has clearly testified this fact,motivation (inspiration) is sublime imperious to confiscate full recourse on the tasks ahead and perform them in beautiful manner and with deep interest. All these facts illustrate and emphasize that students should not be made to learn, instead of this, they should be motivated to learn what is required, which will surely make latter capable to maintain their concentration
,and being able to have clear identification to desired incentives.
Assuredly, a large number of primary and secondary students seem to have little access to requisite knowledge, highlighting a great compulsion in learning process. As motivation is necessary, and this liability goes towards government and concerned departments to appoint knowledgeable and professional teachers, being able to promote the level of motivation in students.
Teaching society, rather than invariably describing academic curriculum(the academic subjects) holds immense significance, making students able to easily deal with social confusions and life compulsions. “An individual in society is known by the company he keeps, and by personality, manners, moral, character__ generally regarded as the chemically products of a body.” Students need sufficient acquaintance, regarding how to treat others, how to eat, how to sit, how to come, how to treat elders, and all these manners should be exhibited in civilised shape. Providing adequate familiarity about the implications, yielded from keeping one self in bad company and other social vices__lying, stealing, backbiting, deceiving and so on., is ostensibly a dedicative step which a true teacher needs to practise it in order to engender balanced and civilised students for nation’s prosperity, peace and progress.
Offering best guidance plays a key role in keeping children more vigilant and prudent. This is quite devoted step in strengthening students’ mental ability and assisting to differentiate amidst fair and foul, and choose best options in life.
Certainly, students with less guidance eventually emerge abnormal and fatigue to deal with the ups and downs of life independently. In this context, what comes up crucial for a good teacher is to bestowe proper guidance to pupils, which might in the long run elicit transformative consequences in latter’s life.
In the same way, a teacher desirous to be the best one, has to forge the level of tolerance, honesty, love, discipline, truth and brotherhood—the real values of life, in students. This determination comes up precious, helping in preparing truthful, honest, balanced and disciplined personalities, the fundamental requirements in the socio-economic welfare of a nation. Sound utilisation of time, prudent prevention from wasting time and from leaving tasks for tomorrow, are rich habits which must develop in students. Appolo Creed’s quotation ‘there is no tomorrow ‘ should be the leading principle in our educational institutions, and the existing concept ‘there is always tomorrow ‘ should be dispirited.
The western countries, in this direction, render best examples, how students there are taught, and developing countries have to adopt new strategies. The former are too best in technology, and the Eastern countries can achieve this development and fulfil this deficiency through encouraging Innovation and Research in institutions. Assuredly, conceptual students(not of cramming) can provide assistance in improving technological insufficiency.
In brief, students need motivation, inspiration as well as encouragement to be able to contribute in country’s overall socio-economic development. In fact, the provision of professional teachers can cooperate in complementing these needs. Moreover, a change in curriculum is imperative, and concept should be bolstered. In this modern era of 21st century, children loom more hepcat, but what they require is the elevation of their motivation.
Only entrenching students in curriculum is of no great importance, but the more standout is to
