Relevance: <\/strong>Roles of educational institutions and challenges associated with online education<\/strong><\/p>\n

News<\/strong> Recently, two teachers in Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka have been caught on camera making discriminatory remarks against Muslim students.<\/p>\n

What do these incidents highlight about the situation of educational institutions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These incidents highlight the growing presence of prejudice in our educational institutions<\/strong>, which were traditionally seen as places of compassion and promoters of diversity, equity, and inclusion.<\/p>\n

Inculcating values of openness <\/strong>used to be a teacher’s duty. However, today, some have started expressing biases.<\/p>\n

This leads to worries about students being exposed to such beliefs and highlights the need for <\/strong>steps to protect education from the influence of bigots.<\/p>\n

What are the drawbacks of online classes compared to in-person teaching when it comes to instilling values in students?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The pandemic shifted schools online. While online classes were formal and safer, they were less effective for learning, lacking live classroom experience.<\/p>\n

It was also noted that online classes couldn’t compete with in-person teaching even when teachers were highly skilled at their jobs.<\/p>\n

The best teachers are those who can<\/strong> make students interested, curious, and excited about the subject they are learning.<\/p>\n

These teachers are able to create a<\/strong> stimulating and engaging learning environment, which is essential for student success. Online classes cannot replicate this experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to academic knowledge, students also need to learn important social and emotional skills, such as<\/strong> empathy, respect, and grace.<\/p>\n

These skills are best learned through modeling and interaction with others.<\/strong> Online classes cannot provide the same level of social interaction as offline classes, which is why they are not a complete substitute for traditional schooling.<\/p>\n

What is the way ahead?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Indian government is facing the challenge of educating millions of students at a low cost. One way to do this is to use digital aids<\/strong>, such as online learning platforms and hybrid models that combine online and offline learning.<\/p>\n

However, it is important to ensure that these digital aids are bias-free and provide the best of both worlds, online and offline learning. Ensuring unbiased education is crucial for instilling values and attitudes.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
