Book insights: 'Divasvapna'





Being an admirer of the innovative policies in the education arena, I recently enjoyed reading ‘Divasvapna’, the book I received as a gift.
 
Some points have made me reflect deeper in terms of the education system.
 
1)    The hero of the book is the teacher who conducts experiment to bring ‘LIFE’ into learning – to do so he adopts storytelling.
 
2)   The end goal of covering the syllabus is the PROCESS that is to be deciphered with the understandings between the students and the teacher.
 
3)    The teacher demonstrates to the guests the activities which are performed on the daily basis rather than putting up a special program; this gives time to the play artists to get to LIVE their roles.
 
4)   Towards the end, the teacher points out for some of his students –
 
“It is not that they are unfit for the school. Rather, this school is unfit for them. The school is unable to teach them what they have the aptitude for.”
 
Allowing experiments in the methods of teaching can open doors for many even if the ideas initially seem IMPRACTICAL!

I was glad to learn that at the Council of Europe, regular summits and meetings are held to discuss key issues and priorities of the organization, and this time in May 2023, the summit will be held in solidarity with Ukraine. Today the flag of the EU which has become a shared symbol of European integration was chosen in 1955 by the Council of Europe and eventually adopted by the EU in 1985. I managed to get collect some interesting facts regarding the Council of Europe but I'm always on the lookout to learn more ...
