  • The school curriculum should be oriented to make students think rationally, independently and express cogently.
  • Such an environment will instill confidence in children, apart from inculcating a spirit of tolerance and accommodation in them.
  • Ensure that students do not confine themselves to academics alone- Studies are important but equally important are sports, fine arts, dance, music, art and culture
  • Students should spend 50% of their schooling hours outside classrooms and that sports education should be accorded greater importance by educationists & parents.
  • Guru Shishya Parampara encouraged teachers and students to live together and engage in a constant dialogue. These discussions were recorded and have been handed down to us from the ancient past in the form of Upanishads.
  • Need an education system that promotes excellence, equity and empathy
  • Constant dialogue between students and teachers would guide students not just in academics but also enable them to develop life skills, which are essential to successfully navigate in the increasingly complex world of today.
