The
children up to the age of 14 years are most vulnerable. They need continuous
support and guidance to make them capable of living in the society of multifarious
challenges which need a set of the best chosen human resources with ample
spaces, tools and equipment. The capabilities of service providers means a lot
to ensure this. Thus, if you don't have capabilities to support the children's
growth, make them retard.
Although
this would be a historical incidence of a country that the most intellectual
group of people takes away the children’s fundamental right instead of
safeguarding it and nurturing them in a changed environment.
I
know the country with best education system like Finland also has the system of
making child’re-take the year' who performs the poorest, but the system has its
procedures. However, directly favouring the detention system advocating
detention can ensure quality learning in children is really a crude and
PRIMITIVE idea.
"No
detention" doesn't mean that the system has to pass a child without making
him/her capable of next higher grade. "No detention" implies that the
system is bound to make a child capable of next higher grade compulsorily at
the end of an academic session. It is the system which has to work harder to
make the child pass rather than to fail a child and held back for a whole
academic session. The content of the post "Review of No Detention
Policy" reveals that the system has more faith on DETENTION of children to
ensure quality learning than on its manpower who are meant for ensuring quality
education.
Till
date, we have the notion that teachers only held responsible for making a child
learn. Now it's time for us to change it. As you know that the actual works of
whole education department is done in the school campus. Thus, let's make
everyone in the system responsible for ‘making a child learn’. It is the
responsibility of Educational Administration to provide relevant logistics that
support a teacher to conduct effective teaching, the teacher education
institutions need to provide trainings to teachers as per their training needs,
the community leaders need to provide good infrastructure that supports
children's learning, the parents need to establish close coordination with
teachers, so on. I dream a new education system where all sets of stakeholders
are made responsible in children's learning.
