Actually, we are caught in a bind. It would be incorrect to deprive the children of the benefits of technology, which actually is a gateway to a vast amount of knowledge, and, at the same time, it is also not desirable that the children are exposed to harmful material. Then what can be done?
The solution lies in better communication between the parents and the children. The elders do not have to control the kids; they have to guide them, they have to be supportive, they have to display unending patience. They do not have to resort to a display of physical superiority or financial superiority over kids to make them tow their line. Devoid of meaningful interaction at home, the children naturally gravitate towards the outsiders i.e. friends and they learn from themand sometimes get into undesirable company and acquire undesirable habits. It has the ugly potential of ruining their lives. It goes without saying that no parent would like this to happen.
We must remain conscious of the fact that all such downward streams of behaviour emanate from the mind. It is therefore very important or rather a necessary duty of parents and the society to ensure that the children get the right kind of inputs so that they always remain in the right frame of mind, that would propel them into becoming responsible members of the society. And, at the same time, whenever signals appear that something is going wrong, attempt needs to be made to properly address them and not sit content with laying blame here and there. It is indeed of critical importance that the parents must constantly remain watch full of the mental health of the children and keep taking necessary steps in the direction.
To examine this issue, we must first understand what is education. E+- education, actually comprises more than one component. Education, on one hand, is transfer of skills, whether they be the linguistic skills or they be technical skills while on the other hand it is the kindling of the spark in the mind of the student to enjoy learning. It is to create that the curiosity to know more and also the create that the urge in the student to put in efforts to satisfy that curiosity. If this gets done, the battle of educating a student is more than half won. Evidently, this spark cannot be lit by the heartless, cold and totally-structured, totally-pre-formulated communications.
However, education, in its entirety has certain more important components as well, which appear to have been placed on the back- burner in the present syllabi. Education also means developing a child into a good human being and a responsible member of the society. This is not only an unchartered area, but it is also unique for every individual. The system based approach is of one-shoe-fits-all type and therefore it is just not compatible with this kind of need.
To ensure that our Children grow in to individuals not devoid of vital Human emotions, we ourselves at Schools must ensure that education does not become way too mechanized. I am convinced that our School is not undermining this vital aspect of education even when we are gradually adopting the latest techniques and Pedagogy in our day to day transactions in Schooling.
At our school, we believe in the holistic development of every child. Education, to us, is not confined to books and classrooms — it’s about nurturing minds, building character, encouraging creativity, and cultivating empathy. We strive to create an environment where children grow intellectually, emotionally, socially, and morally.
Each day, our dedicated teachers and staff work with care and commitment to inspire a love for learning, while also fostering resilience, curiosity, and compassion. Whether it's through academics, arts, sports, or service, we aim to give every student the space to discover their unique strengths and passions.
We also know that this journey is not one we take alone. We are deeply grateful to our parents and guardians, whose support, trust, and partnership help make our shared vision a reality. Together, we are shaping not just future scholars, but future leaders and kind, thoughtful citizens of the world.
We invite you to explore our website and learn more about the vibrant, supportive, and inspiring community we are proud to be part of. Here at Jaipuria Vidyalaya, every child matters, every moment counts, and every day brings new possibilities.
With warmth and gratitude,
