Education forms the foundation of any society. School plays an important role in moulded a nation’s future by facilitating all round development of its future citizens. School is the first avenue of learning for a child. It is widely accepted that the learning process is instrumental in shaping one’s personality and the way a student deals with situations of life. Today knowledge is not only restricted to books, it can be imparted via projects and activities wherein children can actually have the feel of practical knowledge by doing.
School education now focuses on different aspects which contribute immensely to the development of the young minds as they step into adulthood. They include mental, physical and social aspects. The education system of today gives children flexibility to explore their surroundings. At school, children are exposed to various sources from where they can imbibe immense knowledge. Education is a continuous process of learning which instils confidence among the children. It brings self discipline, a sense of responsibility and team-work among children and helps to be a good decision maker.
School also plays an important role in the physical development of children by providing a platform of various physical activities thereby giving them a right direction to channelize their energies. Activities such as sports, craft, etc. help children direct their boundless energy into something productive.
Children are like clay, the way they are moulded depends upon the type of education they get and also the role of educators, who are imparting knowledge to them.
