what are the improvements needed in education in trichy?

We have already written about the Literate project in Trichy, in one of our previous articles. This project is for improving the education from the scratch.

However, there is another question - how to improve existing education in Trichy?
What is our education infrastructure today? Here is the education profile of Trichy

There are various improvement points to be considered -

1) There are colleges opened today with the motive of only profits in mind. On those days, schools and colleges were built with a motive of education in mind, but controversially these days colleges are started as a business. Money minded colleges, cannot provide great education.

Even parents are willing to provide lakhs to get their children engineering or medical degree. If they want a professional degree, they should get him study very well. Anyway, let us stick to the topic and I guess, we are moving away from the topic.

2) We need great teachers. Teachers are supposed to be highly respected people in the world. Teachers stand and all students sit in the chair, when a class is provided. Teachers stay at the same place, but the students get graduated and progress in their lives to go to the top. Hence, teacher profession is great and hats off to all the teachers! If you go to government schools, there are some teachers, who never teach, but they get hefty salaries - chitchat, do side business and never have children's education in mind. Teachers have to have vision in their mind. How do I want my children to progress? How do I inspire students to come up in life? How do I ignite the students? Teachers have to become inspiration to the students.

3) Comparing Montessori education to education in Trichy - Soft skills, social skills, thinking abilities has to be improved instead of getting the children memorizing the text books. Students has to be made understood about the meaning of the texts!

4) Reading habit has to be improved in Trichy. More corporation libraries has to be opened in Trichy and there has to be readers programme's for children. Reading habit is one great habit, if inculcated into the students, then you don't have to worry about anything. They will come up in life. If you ask any successful person or any entrepreneur about their background and hobbies - they would read lot of books.
We tried to open free libraries in the past, but we have put the project on hold for future. Once we have sufficient money, we would open Free Libraries in Trichy.

5) Inspiration and Motivation among children would help them in long run, apart from the usual text books.

6) Parents have to give extra time in their evenings and weekends for their children's education.

7) Mathematical, Language, personality and communication skills has to be improved in all respects.

This is enough for now, I believe. However, will continue this topic later with another article may be part-ii. This article was written upon request...
