The one size fits all methodology although still the most popular, is widely accepted as not the best way to teach. Differentiated learning that suits individual learners and learning styles has to be incorporated in our classrooms and the first step towards that is getting to know our students better.

Art, in any form, is an all-embracing medium. Observing and practicing art invites and encourages creativity, freedom, and openness. Let us not restrict art to that one period on the time table. Let art become the medium of instruction in schools so that our classrooms transform into welcoming, patient, and inclusive learning environments.

Tsunamis, hurricanes, cyclones, earthquake, wildfires — the natural disasters that strike not just India but the world are many and human behaviour towards the environment is only increasing their frequency and intensity. Natural disasters lead to both loss of life and property and leave behind significant economic damage besides affecting people in other ways.

To be able to contribute to meaningful dialogue, what we need is not just knowledge of the topic in question but also the ability to listen to the other person and keep an open mind. Can schools and colleges create an atmosphere that fosters these skills in young people?

Nai Talim is one of the several and perhaps popular educational experiments that is in practice, albeit on a small scale, even today. Building an archive of such practices from history is worth all the time and effort it will take because it can serve as a guide to the teacher of today.
