Prioritizing Quality Education and Real-Life Learning

During her conversation with Prisila, correspondent of Asia Business Outlook Magazine, Alka discusses an education technique that facilitates learners in acquiring time management skills, knowledge, and behavior by actively engaging them in situations closely resembling real-life scenarios.

Institute Prioritizes Quality over Quantity: A Focus on Strengthening Student Foundations

This educational approach places a strong emphasis on building solid foundations, particularly in the fields of science and math. The focus is on fostering conceptual understanding rather than relying on rote memorization. By instilling a deep grasp of core principles, students are empowered to apply their knowledge effectively in any situation, boosting their confidence when facing challenges.

Quality is of utmost importance in this approach, with a commitment to providing exceptional education to all students, regardless of their academic standing. Individual attention and support are given to each student, acknowledging their uniqueness and potential. The ultimate goal is to witness every student's growth and success, with significant improvements in their academic performance, especially during these crucial years in their lives. The dedicated educators take their moral responsibility seriously, nurturing students step by step to help them reach their full potential and make a positive difference in their lives.

Empowering Learners in Dubai with Real-Life Simulations: Enhancing Time Management, Knowledge, and Behavioural Skills through Immersive Education Techniques

Effective learning for students involves connecting theoretical concepts to real-life experiences. When students encounter ideas beyond their current understanding, relating them to familiar situations helps comprehension. For instance, understanding the physics behind a ball's trajectory - going up, peaking, and descending in a curve - brings relevance to their daily observations. Relatable examples make theories more engaging and applicable, fostering better understanding. Utilizing tools like mnemonics and mind maps further aids learning, condensing complex information into memorable phrases. Recognizing the diversity in learning styles, a holistic approach is crucial since there's no one-size-fits-all method. By bridging the gap between abstract concepts and practical applications, students can grasp subjects more effectively and excel in exams with a deeper understanding to apply in real life.

Key Motivations Driving Middle Eastern Students in the Middle East to Return to India for Entrance Exams and Their Distinct Approach Compared to Local Students

In this part of the world, located at the crossroads of East and West, there are two main reasons why parents prefer Indian undergraduate education for their children. Firstly, it offers diverse options for students, especially those not financially well-off. Pursuing a strong undergraduate education in India provides a solid academic foundation comparable to top global institutes, ensuring a better chance of success in the future. Secondly, many young students are uncertain about their career paths and lack clarity on their true interests and abilities. Opting for an economical undergraduate degree in India allows them to explore and understand their strengths and weaknesses before investing in a costly foreign education for specialization. Indian students in Dubai differ from those in India, as the latter face intense competition and long study hours from an early age, fostering a focused and driven learning environment. The role of educational institutions is not only to impart knowledge but also to guide and prepare students for their academic journey and future endeavors.

The study methods that would be most effective in a distance learning setting

COVID-19 has brought distance learning into the mainstream, but it has its limitations, even for adults attending online seminars or professional development courses. Children face even greater challenges with various distractions like WhatsApp, games, and other online diversions. Only a small percentage of students, less than 5%, can effectively learn independently in an online platform. To ensure engagement and participation and effective learning outcomes, teachers insist on keeping cameras on and actively ask questions. Monitoring students' responses helps verify their attentiveness. Parents are involved too, as some students may pretend to be present without actively participating. With the abundance of distractions, educators must take multiple measures to ensure effective learning. It remains a responsibility to monitor and support children's learning, adapting to the new online learning environment in the best interest of the students.

The impact of NEP 2020 on these entrance examinations

The National Education Policy 2020 is undoubtedly an ambitious and much-needed plan, emphasizing positive changes in the right direction. However, its implementation, especially in rural areas and smaller towns, remains a significant concern. The policy's shift from traditional streams like science, commerce, and humanities to more flexible combinations could potentially impact entrance examinations. Students and parents may not fully grasp the implications until it's too late. Moreover, the proposed reduction of external training for competitive exams like JEE and NEET is commendable but challenging to implement, given the large number of students vying for limited seats. While the policy holds great promise, its practical implications and effectiveness need careful observation over time, considering the complexities involved in the educational landscape.
