Glorious Academia in Schools

Every parent sends their child to school, with the aim of seeing the child become knowledgeable and at the same time learn to understand the nitty gritty of the world in matters that were quite secluded from the domain of the little ones. CBSE Schools in Bangalore cater to a wide spectrum, however there is an integral part where the present India lacks and that is in the field of academics. Currently, there is a crunch of good educators who could deliver a great learning procedure for the children.

There are many career options that are soon forgotten and people are stepping forward to take up occupational course. One amongst such an occupation is that of the researchers and scientists. There are hardly any students who are indulging in this great work of research and development and invention.

There was an era when people like Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilee, James Maxwell and several other scientists who have helped to shape the world history in several ways through their constant researches. Our Ex-President A.P.J Abdul Kalam is a scientist and has given his time and effort into creating some of the missiles of India that has helped India to achieve the status of a nuclear power company.

Many people have had to give up their family and social lives in order to work for their country’s growth and benefit. Lilavati’s Daughter’s by C.V Subramanian is a collection of biographical essays of women who have excelled in the field of science and technology and have carved a niche for themselves in this world, yet they have lost a major portion of their life, but that does not make them sad, indeed they have overcome the troubles of their lives and have emerged victorious for the world to know what they have done for their motherland.

For student’s it should be taken as a form of inspiration to draw from and to get motivated to work in ways that would help their country in some way or the other. As a matter of fact, the schools should help the students who are interested in science and research work to provide them with more information on this subject, help them with career counsellors and other guidance that is necessary for them to be aware of the many prospects that research can offer.

Also there are several course like Clinical Research, where students are giving training on how to monitor the doctors who conduct medical research of new drugs on patients and how during the trials the patients recovery or deterioration from the intake of that drug is recorded that is filed and sent to the laboratories for further testing of the drug and then its release into the market. There are several interesting aspects that are associated with research and it is not to be mistaken as a dry and boring field, because this field has the potential to do wonder’s that no other occupation could with the expected impact.

Indian employment sector is flooding with both private and public sector jobs, but unfortunately there is a lack of manpower which exists due to an inadequate educational competency. There is a high dropout rate in schools of mostly girls who belong to semi-rural areas. In a country like India, we still consider it as a liability to teach girl child, allow her to have a bright future in learning.

Radhika Verma is a social activist and a counsellor in various schools, mostly catering to educating the rural and semi-rural population. She believes that through combined efforts can we be able to bring about a change in the thinking of the people within our society.
