Education is an essential part of everyone’s life. However, people often
confuse getting an education
with working a way through college
or school. Sugata Mitra and Ken Robinson try to explain what are the problems
and what should be taken into account in the sphere of education in their
videos.
Sugata Mitra takes the view
that not only children from the rich families but also from the poor families
can obtain a good education.
In fact, the children from suburbs are quick
learners. To figure something out and learn something is as easy as ABC for them. They
are distinguished by their mental
agility in acquiring
knowledge which can even increase when they are praised. Therefore,
Mitra concludes that children are capable of self-educating. All they need is
to be directed.
In his turn, Ken Robinson honestly
thinks that schools make students the same. He grasps the importance of being unique and different and
states that schools do not take this into consideration. Their main aim is to
make the children the straight A
students that often goes in the price of identity. Also, Robinson says
that children are distinguished by their curiosity. For this reason, students
are just in need of a leading
authority in the field, and they can burn the midnight oil on their own.
Speaking about some changes in the educational system of Ukraine, I
would probably recommend stopping giving low marks to the students. In such a
way, they would have a desire to demonstrate
their abilities and won’t fall
behind with some subjects. Moreover, I would advise that new teaching
staff be hired as the present teachers from
the old school do not satisfy the needs of the students. Next is that government
should provide good technical support (like free wi-fi, computers). Finally, I
would recommend providing the students with an opportunity to do a course they like. Not all
the students have a natural talent,
for instance, for learning foreign languages, and they can’t keep up with the others.
However, if they chose any other subject, they could show a marked improvement.
