Big Problems, Simple Solutions
Continuing with the problem of “Illiteracy”, we came to know about one of the reasons for it, i.e. “Lack of Motivation”
Neither parents nor teachers of govt. school force or motivate students to study hard or to take study seriously.
Parents are usually busy in earning their livings and even they don’t know the importance of study. They don’t care whether the child is attending the full day class or he/she bunked the class after having free lunch there.
Result: Mainly students of class up to 3rd and 4th don’t attend the class regularly and properly and don’t give much concentration in class even.
Possible Solution:
"Interact with them and try to motivate them and make them feel the importance of study."
Last Saturday, we, three friends , Balakrishnan, Pran and myself (Monika) went to a govt. school of Sec-27, near Indra Market and conducted a test there to motivate the students. This is what we did:
1. We asked students to write down their introduction (say, their name, father’s name and what they want to be and why).
2. After this written round, we shortlisted few students and conducted the second round.
3. In second round, we conducted an oral quiz of General knowledge questions (say, what’s our national bird, etc.). We also check their reading and speaking capabilities.
We kept on correcting them and tell them the right way of doing and tried to motivate them to study well and to attend the class regularly.
At the end, we chose one girl as the winner and awarded her with a pair of shoes. We also gave prize to the most disciplined student during the conduct of test.
This whole test just took 1-1.5 hours time and we all (including students) enjoyed a lot. Check out the attached pics.
Request: Just try to take out a small time from your busy schedule and spend it with these students. Your interaction with them also motivates them to study to become like you.
Even this weekend, we will go to the school and conduct another test. If anybody is interested in coming, then please inform us soon so that we can plan it effectively.
Share your viewpoint with us....
Your small effort can make a big difference in somebody’s life.
