Beyond the Curriculum.....

Today students are not satisfied with mere school-prescribed curriculum, a routine syllabus and the spurt in innovative teaching methodology. Their needs extend beyond these conventional categories of knowledge to include holistic development with core values needed to stand tall in the real world.  They require niche skills to face challenges that the competitive world throws at them. G.D Goenka Public School, Greater Noida, helps its students mould for themselves, a fearless, disciplined life and an opinionated mind. Today, the world is not looking for another ranker, but a thinker par extraordinaire, young minds who can leave behind a footprint in the society.

The school is a conglomeration of dedicated and effective teachers, fun-filled activities aimed at endowing its students with the aforementioned skills and holistic development. It encourages its students to go beyond straight jacketed forms of learning and maintain a touch with reality, taking much required breaks from the virtual world of the internet. The school, with its unique approach and personalised teacher-student interactions encourages its students to be competitive but fair, learning through sports and cultural activities. It instills in them the need to give back to the society, through its community outreach programmes. These initiatives help students redefine their boundaries and develop a keen sense of righteousness.

The school has also set a benchmark in the previous academic session (2017-2018) through an excellent board result in both classes X and XII. Changing the face of academia and schooling in India, the institution strives for quality, distinction and excellence.

Technology is an enabler, not a replacement of the GURU

We see ourselves entering the world of high-end technology of the classroom boards and smart phones. The impact is all pervasive. Not long ago we lived through times when there were no such applications. Turn around for the flashback, there was hardly anything like the so called ‘High -tech support system’ that today we almost take for granted. Imagining the scenes, for connectivity between a parent and a teacher, the only way was through the landline at school or the PTMs. Resources have multiplied, and so have our expectations. Lo and Behold, A WhatsApp message by the worried parent of a primary class kid instantly connects her to the teacher sitting and relaxing at her home after hours. Bounds of time and distance have fallen. The innocent school diary of our times has given way to the smart ID card. Coaching   with those conventional blackboards which used to give us a sigh of satisfaction, now turned into online, and spreading its wings fast. We may not be far away from w...

President Ram Nath Kovind approved the imposition of governor's rule in Jammu and Kashmir, a day after the BJP pulled out of its alliance with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Constitution of India grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir among Indian states, and it is the only state in India to have a separate Constitution and regulations specific to it. Though many have hailed the decision of the central government to have presidents rule in Kashmir the decision has its pit falls: a.        The decision to bring in President's rule is like turning the clock back twenty years, when it was difficult to even get a democratically elected government.   *Some questions*: 1. What is the overall aim in Kashmir or the na...
