Poor science and maths education (and English) accounts for 80 per cent of total students who fail in Tenth Board Examination. The low enrolment in science stream at higher secondary level and poor-quality education is a constraint in development of scientific manpower in the country. Science and Maths education would need special attention. We need to deliberate and find workable strategies for strengthening the quality of teaching–learning processes for better outcomes; innovations and diversity of approaches in matters of curricula, pedagogies and use of technology to improve the learning levels.

VISIT http://letscareforeducation.blogspot.in/ I Believe Education must teach children, how to think but not what to think, how to question but not what to question, how to learn not what to learn, how to feel not what to feel, how to know not what to know, how to gain not what to gain, how to be not what to be, how to see not what to see, how to believe not what to believe and how to work not what to work

For Science subjects like Physics , Chemistry and Biology use of animation , 3-d modelling and simulators should be extensively used so that students can visualize , understand and apply the concepts easily and not just do the theory part to pass the exams. Such application of technology is not hard and very effective in making the concepts clear to the students.Just imagine understanding organic chemical bondings through 3-d models and use of simulators for doing mock experiments.

"I read, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I understand" This saying has a lot to do with any education policy but it becomes extremely important when it comes to science education. The way science has been taught in schools is extremely boring, not-at-all thought provoking and produces little or no excitement amongst the students in knowing more about science. Task-based learning will help tremendously. Students must be made to do some tasks in order to learn a particular scientific phenomenon

Some students are just not inclined to Maths. Not their fault. Why force such students to learn high level Maths in school ?Why make them suffer ? Maths is not a compulsion for Medical, Nursing, Arts. We should have 2 levels of Maths in school. Lower level for such students and higher level Maths for those who would like to opt for it, are good at it, and those who want to do prof courses related to Maths. Also even for this level, syllabus should be review & irrelevant portions knocked off.

Today it is lecture base classes (leads to 5% learning Retention). Need to add "audio/video demonstrations (20% Learning), Doing Experiments (50% Learning Retention). Our Syllabus should include : How things are made & how they work To achive "Made In India" dream We need to have a seperate section/schoold for High achievers as Done in Germany (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Germany#Elite_schools). B Rgdsd, Bhanu

सादर नमस्कार , प्रधानमंत्री महोदय , आपकी हर योजना में देश हित सर्वोपरि है। mygov.in बहुत ही अच्छा मंच है यहाँ पर देश का हर नागरिक अपने विचार व्यक्त कर सकता है , आपका बहुत-बहुत आभार। महोदय मेरे विचार से हमें सभी विषयों के साथ साथ वैदिक ग्रंथो की मुख्य एवं जीवन-उपयोगी बातो को भी पढाना चाहिए । जैसे भगवत-गीता , रामायण आदि। धन्यवाद।

Unfortunately the private schools approach to educate the students been bookish. In order to obtain top ranking, the schools compete among themselves to show the percentage of students passing out of their school, so instead of teaching the concepts, they make the students to memorize the subjects and make the students revise it multiple times. The competition among schools prevents the students being innovative and become subjective. Our education system must include more practical approach.

There should be a gurukul-based education system, with some new concepts, so that we can really learn something and understand things properly. Science should be teached practically and the new technologies like educomp or digiclass should be a bit attractive, they are too boring.
