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.

I studied when most of the teachers in the classrooms were passionate about their job and their subjects. They led simpler lives- none of us had fancy homes or things in them- many of us had no furniture- no beds- simple rush mats on the floor. But we believed in learning about the world all around. With simple examples of filling water in a bucket, we derived equations for liquid columns and wavelengths. Math is the language of the sciences. Translating scientific ideas to equations is the way

I think that the way I was taught Science and Math in India was simply the best way- I studied in 6 different schools (5 in Tamil Nadu and 1 in Delhi) and across the board had passionate teachers who taught us science through experiments and common sense and Math (that was a mixed bag- had some bad teachers there who couldn't explain why (a+b)^2 was a^2+b^2+2ab (where did the 2ab come from?!)- typical of a 12 yr old to ask but no answer. Visulaization of Math and practicals in Science- a must

More and more use of technology should be made in schools and Universities. An effort should be made to create a network of all the schools and Universities, so that one institution can make use of resources available in another. One school can learn form another school, one university form another University, One School can learn from University or college and vice versa. Students and Teachers at various levels of schools and colleges should be able to collaborate. This will give new ideas.

If we find way to address the problems of a family profession through education system like if I am from a farmer's family then I should have given knowledge about scientific way of farming. etc.

Most of the students don't remember what they studied(CONCEPTS) in the previous year . As these concepts need to be applied on the next year syllabus, students will find it difficult to follow the subjects, thereby losing concentration and interest in it. So important concepts of previous year syllabus must be compressed and put it as introduction part in first few chapters of new syllabus. Exams on this will make him refer previous year books,strong in the concepts and develop interest in it

Learning science should be more practical than theoretical. Now a days science is getting confined to books only. Several competitions involving innovative inventions should be introduced in the curriculum.

The aim of edication is not attendance but retention, and the best retention is through Practicals. Now with the grading system in place, we should put Huge emphasis on practicals including sports. Education should be such that a student, if he is good in sports, can go for it without worrying of failing and ruining his/her life. Industries (small scale, as well as large scale) and colleges must be roped in to provide training to school students.

मै हमेशा कह्ता हूँ और हमेशा कहूँगा " डिजिटल‌ शिक्षा " एक‌ ऐसी शिक्षा जिसमे सभी लोग‌ रटें या पढे नही बल्कि डिजितटल‌ रूप‌ से समझे क्योंकि कुछ‌ चीजे पढने से नही बल्कि समझने से समझ‌ मे आती हैं ।
