Why it is important to think of education? When we send our kids to schools, it is a given thing that we assume that our share of duty as parents is now over. Most of us who do this don't come back to realize whether they made the right decision. The fact is that a kid is being made ready for something that lies in the future. For example, a kid who was admitted in year 2008 was to turn a responsible citizen in roughly around 2026 after achieving a learning age of nearly 20-21 but what kind of world 2026 would be? Would it be a world where current skill taught in our school would be relevant? Would it be a world where technology would be more dominant than any other form of human intervention? Would it be a world where we would be living the way we are living today? The fact is that a school is meant to prepare the kid for future but do we really have any idea of future in our schools? Can we say that our teachers are really ready for teaching our kids for future? It means that the teachers themselves should be leading in the use of technology and the value-system of the future. Is this really true for our schools? Is the level of skills future-ready in our students? Can they handle an ecology already endangered with pollution? Can they handle a city already full of traffic jams and air pollution? Can they keep on living in localities where garbage is littered all around and water table is already down to dangerously low levels? Are they ready for a world where boundaries are increasingly disappearing and world is moving towards a globally connected and accountable network of citizens? Are they ready for handling job pressure coming out of multi-tasking and multi-lingual & multi-cultural work environment? These are the questions that are centric to all the educations systems of all the countries. A school is a nursery of the future but if it is not ready for upcoming challenges, we are doomed. Here is available a series of beginnings in this direction.
