“The aim of education is not only to make the students study the academic books but also to develop their practical knowledge to make them a MASTER PIECE”

                  In today’s time, the students are generally found to spend maximum time with educational books only, just learning and memorizing the bookish lines and lessons, moving into another grade. As a result, they are out of the world and competition when it comes to gain practical knowledge and to update their selves. Hence, it is very important for the students to know the current happenings to add value to their education. 

Current affairs in the student life not only keep them updated, but also inspire the other students to have healthy group discussion, sharing news and views. In fact, it does not only cover news but also contain information, facts, figures, history and much more which will help the students to understand where the country is leading. Also it helps them to understand their academic concepts from the 360 degree angle and guide them to decide their future plans as well. Apart from this, it is extremely important when it comes to crack the government competitive exams like UPSC, GPSC, SSC, IAS, IPS, IBPS, Clerical exams and so on where it is compulsory for the students to score good in Current Affairs section as well.  The schools can organize innovative activities regularly based on current affairs such as Online Quiz, Puzzles, Group Discussion, Debate, Research based homework etc.

             As we are aware that the upcoming generation is techno savvy, so it is advisable to the students as well to download such informative applications and spend at least half an hour of their day to know the world around. If this becomes habit, then surely the 21^st century will be an era of KNOWLEDGE in all the ways.

'Technology can become the “wings” that will allow educational world to fly further and faster than ever before – if we will allow it.'

               Generally parents are found complaining to the teachers about their children for the usage of mobiles. With the fact that the next generation is having one of the biggest addiction is of using MOBILES, it is also a fact that we can’t stop them to use a mobile but we can surely direct them where to use and how to use the technology.

Classroom technology such as projector facility, computers, videos and other digital aids are surely useful to develop the students, but what next? These facilities are limited to the classrooms or within the campus only. Mobile technology actually can be a blessing if the students can be involved in the innovations. For that, an educator can think to give such tasks and projects, where the students have to do research and analysis by using mobile technologies. The student engagement activities can be planned through developing educational apps which will not only divert their minds from casual gaming to educational learning but also make them habituated with brainstorming and to enhance their creativity. Educational games can be developed in form of apps only, to make their way of learning more interesting and knowledgeable.

                 In a nutshell, it’s not always about how to control; sometimes it is also about changing the perception and direction. It is up to educators where they want to lead their students and their future. If teaching and technologies can join their hands together, this era surely would be of an era of knowledge and innovation.

                  “When you KNOW BETTER, you DO BETTER.” In education, now an era needs to be changed. Learning never defines age. Recent era shows that only the students have to be smart, need to learn and required to be updated. But it’s time to change that outdated era and it’s time to initiate innovative ideas for educators as well. When we emphasis only upon the student learning and development, we fail to recall that it is an educator who is actually shaping the students and if they won’t be updated and advanced, how we can expect our students to be?

Here, the training part plays a vital role. It is very essential to understand that teachers’ training is equally important along with student’s study. The teachers should get the platform to perform their creativity, to present their ideas, to share their queries and to learn TECHTREND. By understanding this fact, Genius Group of Institutions has taken an initiative of ‘आर्षबोध’ – Teachers’ Enhancement Programme for the teachers of all the private schools running under Rajkot Self Finance School Association at Arsh Vidhya Vidhya Mandir. This programme is planned in such a manner that it will work as personalized training programme as per the request of an individual institute and as per the training requirement for the teachers on the different concepts. The teachers will acquire an opportunity to get training every month from the top experts from Gujarat as well as from India and also will be able to receive special blessings and guidance from Param Pujya Swami Parmatmanand Saraswatiji.

               We always say while teaching the students that ‘They are the nation’s future’ but why we forget that our educators are their future. And if we will not focus on their development and if we will not focus on this fact then, that era is not so far when it will give birth to another era ‘teacher less classrooms’!
