PM Modi,it seems, is now a regular counsellor for children on all matters for their betterment.
In his "Pareeksha pe Charcha " discourse of Jan 2020, PM Modi advised all parents to refrain from imposing themselves on children during the examination period. I think, all parents know about these aspects too well in the interest of their children .This is the mandate allocated for HRD ministry. One wonders what prompted the PM treat same symptoms again and again through his famous : “ Pareeksha pe Charcha”, a sub-set of “ Chai pe charcha” ?
A majority of HRD minsters in the past, never cared to address these concerns.It is their domain. They lack out-of-box thinking. They have done absolutely nothing in the past, suggesting steps for managing stress among children.
Schooling must be made enjoyable to children. HRD ministry must take experts’ advice, draw up guidelines for implementation through its educational institutes. Let it conduct impact assessment studies , carry out mid-course corrections in sync with changing time. A one-time
monologue may not help.Parents and teachers have many questions to ask. Schools and colleges must be encouraged to intereact with psychologists and professional confidence boosters. Just an unsolicited advice to our worthy, well-intentioned Prime Minister.
