-Defects of present teaching methods:
>English and Arithmetic are introduced in the early elementary levels itself. Thus children doesn't get enough time to get thorough with the basics.
>Not promoting pre-school education. Studies reveal that pre-school education has very positive impacts on a child's learning capabilities.
>Corruption in appointment of Government school teachers. This deprives children of quality mentorship.
>Lack of innovation in knowledge delivery,like usage of technology.
>Inablity of teachers to deliver effectively,the fruits of new teaching methods like Activity-Based Learning(ABL).
-Steps to be taken:
>Focus should be given in providing sound basics to children.English and Arithmetic should only be introduced at advanced elementary levels.
>Importance of pre-schooling should be spread.
>Innovative methods of knowledge delivery like video lectures,interactive content etc. should be included in the curriculum.
>Tailor-made content for each student,keeping in mind the strengths and weaknesses of each child,should be made available.
>Strength-based teaching,giving more focus to the areas of natural talent of each child,should be implemented in elementary schools.
>Promoting the culture of alternative schools,where the natural talent of each child is identified and nurtured in the early stage itself.
>Support adult literacy,as children of literate parents could get additional coaching from parents.
>Strict implementation of government programs like ;'Padhe Bharat,Badhe Bharat',which targets to improve comprehension and arithmetic skills of children.
