Ten years ago, having a computer at your home or at school was a exciting thing because computers were just beginning to enter the commercial market and people were just beginning to look at computers. But if you take a look around now, you can see that every little school has their own computer laboratory where students and teachers computer to learn the master of all technologies which will aid them in education in every possible way. Also, with the prices of the semi conductor chips that are used in computers going down every year, computers and computer accessory prices are going down too. Whats more? Extendible computer parts such as a portable hard drive, a USB smart card reader are also readily available now. The best part? Lots of these discount computer accessories are available online so that you need not visit a shop far away from your home. Buy a computer, educate a child!.
Our education system must be of inclusive nature. This will provide an amicable situation for children to learn. It focuses more on disability and special educational needs. What is inclusive education? It is about refusal to accept segregation based on physical ability, gender, race, status, language, ethnic origin and so on. It also means that inclusive schools are open to all students and satisfy all student needs. It is not that easy as it sounds. It is a continuing process and the system needs to be strengthened over time. The teachers play a very important role in inclusive education. They need to develop games and syllabi which are competitive and also accommodate the interests of all the participating parties. There are many reasons to adopt inclusive education. It promotes human rights, good education and good social sense. One teacher who supports inclusive education raised a very interesting question during the age old debate on inclusive education. Her question was, “Are we trying to protect children from each other by encouraging segregated schools?” Inclusive education is known to build friendships and remove any sort of fear. I believe inclusive education is the step towards tolerance and is the means to an efficient education system.
The title sounds very rhyming, isn’t it? I have seen children and even parents complain about wearing uniforms to school. One child said wouldn’t it be nice to see different colors in the class than see the same one every day! And all the parents nodded their heads in agreement. But I differ on this opinion. I do agree different colors do add beauty but beauty is not the only thing in life. There are various reasons why I support uniforms and I am going to discuss them in this article. The first reason is that if students are asked to come in their own clothes, then some would come in highly fashionable and costly ones and few others in simple ones. In short the financial status of the people are reflected which may tend to promote groupism and teasing. This is undesirable and must be prevented. Secondly, school is a place where children must focus more on education than other diversions. Promoting non-uniforms is like promoting a number of diversions which would hinder studies. Thirdly there is a sense of discipline in schools which can be reflected in uniforms. Thus uniforms promote a sense of harmony, tolerance, discipline. In short they promote the pillars of education. One could ask why not uniforms in college? I think students are more matured when they come to college and will not allow the color clothes to influence their behavior!
