IS GEN NEXT READY FOR TECHNICAL EDUCATION?

By -


Recently, few days ago I read an article about availability of Technical Education for secondary school students. It stated that it was urgently required to speed up the technical education systems in schools in order to achieve greater proficiency among students.
Technical knowledge is very important at school level. It has become the need of the hour. Nowadays, we all need to learn to use basic computers, mobiles, laptops; otherwise we will be considered ‘illiterate’. Also, every 5-year child now knows to use smartphones. They are capable to doing tasks like adding a calendar event, customising the home screen, creating notes and so on.
Hence, a major section of our society is of the view that we must include subjects of computer –science-level in secondary school. It might help the students to learn programming at an early age and foster their skills. Imagine children in your society learning COBOL, BASIC, FORTRAN, PYTHON, etc. It’s hard to believe that it can ever happen.  However, it’s possible that they could ever lean something like C, C++, Java, etc. It should also become the part of curriculum in Humanities, economics, Commerce, etc. Also nowadays learning through Youtube, Edurite, Udemy is gaining a lot of importance.
Technology is basically applied science. It need not be restricted to a single field alone but be used in every possible way. Well, being fair it has some disadvantages. Such imparting of technical knowledge in students can have an adverse effect. Many of them can be distracted from what they should learn. Overlearning can also result in a student hacking his own university website to alt eth marks and grade. An extra emphasis will also lead to lack of depth in other aspects. 
Concluding with a hope to our topic question “Is gen next ready for technical knowledge “, it can be said that yes, in order to progress, but it should be in phase and we should wait until our education system becomes technically fool-proof. This would lead to development of our nation and ‘MAKE IN INDIA’.

REVOLUTIONALIZE EDUCATION           Hi Friends, this is Suman Pandit, student of Electronics Engineering, Vidyalankar Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I have an appetite for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. In the coming days, the blog on which your sight is will feature articles ranging from sports, technology, music, art, social issues, etc. The topic for today is Education.           Education is one of the most important aspects of a human being’s life. It is a process which begins from the birth of a person and continues for his lifetime. Education is responsible for the growth of many nations and communities. Our Country, India has a population of over 1.2 billion (which is the 2 nd largest in the world). It has more youths of the age 18-30 than any other country in the world. But still, it is a developing country. The main reason for this is illiteracy and unemployable graduates. In India, people are qualified, but not educated.         For education to

A Solution to solve Mumbai's Vaccination Problem - an open letter to CM of Maharashtra

Hope you are doing well..... The whole country is in deep COVID crisis. In Maharashtra too, the cases are rising. If we don't prevent this sooner, we will be in deep shortage of medical supplies and this can give rise to a big health emergency.  The only way in which we can prevent this is by Mass Vaccination of everyone in Mumbai and Maharashtra. Vaccination prevents infection of COVID and hospitalization in all age categories to a great extent. Countries like Israel and UK are a great example. As centre has not allowed Maharashtra to allow door to door vaccination, I have another idea of undertaking mass vaccination in Mumbai (can be expanded to all of Maharashtra too). After 1st May when vaccination will be opened for all adults, this will help reduce the burden on the current vaccination centres The idea- There are a lot of grounds and parks in every locality of Mumbai. They are now idle because of the current mini lockdown. There are many nurses and attendants too

How the 2024 T20 World Cup is a Boon for Bowling and Cricket as a whole

T he just-concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) was a batsman's paradise. Flat pitches and the 'Impact Player Rule’ led to a run-fest. But fast forward a month, and the narrative has flipped dramatically in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. Here in the Caribbean islands and USA, slower pitches and a focus on bowling are offering a refreshing and, I believe, ultimately positive, change for the sport.  Look at the numbers: Afghanistan's young pace phenom Fazal Farooqi leads the wicket-taking charts with a staggering 12 scalps in just 3 matches. The wily Sri Lankan leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, already the record holder for most wickets in a single T20 World Cup edition (2021 & 2022), is weaving his magic again, controlling the middle overs with his bag of tricks. I still am in awe of New  Zealand's Lockie Ferguson gave a spectacular performance against Papua New Guinea in their final match of the T20 World Cup campaign on Monday. During his spell, Ferguson conceded zero
