Narrative -1 – What is Education to you?

Education itself is a self-learning process, it does not necessarily mean

something that is taught to oneself, but it is all together something that one
learns from experiences. Education should not necessarily be theoretical, it can
be learnt through various mediums, but a student to learn naturally and to
develop skills, he/she should be taught in a fun, interactive way. Education to
me is imparting all necessary skills to someone. Education for me is trying to
understand something deeply, instead of just learning it and forgetting it years
after. This is possible when the learning process is interactive for both the
student and the teacher, it can take place through activities which
subconsciously teaches the student the skill behind it. Education should
encourage students worldwide to become active, compassionate, and
lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences,
can also be right. Students should become good inquirers, knowledgeable,
good thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk takers
and reflective. This all should be incorporated in a child through interactive
learning but should also be supported with some thorough learning
exercises.
