Education Articles for Students

It’s college; the typical stereotype of a DU student is a kid in a khadi kurta, slightly scruffy and sitting around looking either bored or intellectual. It applies to many, but as stereotypes go, rarely to all. The outward appearance at least does sometimes fit the bill for what has come to be called “the journalist type”. Looking it may seem fairly simple, but getting there is no easy task. Everyone knows catching a break in the industry is hard, but there are a few things that help, and no, you Delhiite, I’m not talking about ‘knowing the right people’.

We’ve all railed against our teachers at some point or the other, because usually none of us can find an ounce of relevance in what we’re studying to what we want to do. Rarely do we look at a curriculum and think to ourselves, “Bingo! That’s exactly what I’ll need to know to get where I want to go!” I recently had the privilege of experiencing that moment. I came across the description of an institute called the 9.9 School of Convergence and began reading about their post-graduate diploma programme in Applied Journalism and Media Communication. I’m in third year now, and it’s about time for me to start thinking about what I want to do with my life after college. Having left it till now, I know I’m already late!

What makes a college, course, or institution the right one for you? The bottomline usually is that you should gain considerable learning and it should get you your dream job after completing it, or at least start you off along the way. A strong curriculum and accomplished faculty are extremely important factors, since they concretely shape the learning that you are going to receive. You must understand what you are going to learn, and it helps if you know that top professionals from the field will be participating in your training. Another parameter of comparison is the placements the course has seen in the past, and if it’s an old institute, the careers of alumni. Add considerations like student to teacher ratio, costs and campus, and any benefits over and above are just another argument in favour of the institute or course in question. The 9.9 programme, as I found out, has a distinctive course structure, as different from the rote systems of lower and higher education in India as possible. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical learning, the kind that most universities universally eulogize and never implement.

The faculty and administration include graduates from the prestigious institutes all the way from Indian School of Business, Hyderabad and IIT, Kanpur to Columbia University, New York. The diverse award-winning faculty and Advisory Board members would provide perspective lacking in the run of the mill, theoretical and often outdated courses found elsewhere. For practicality, students are offered opportunities to publish their work during the one-year course, including through an integrated professional internship. This means that by the time the student leaves, they have built up a presentable portfolio that they can offer at any job interview. The institute has what they aptly term “strong industry backing”, which translates to a minimal gap between the skills demanded by recruiters and those developed in the students by the programme.

Boasting a 100% placement record over the last few years, the school has found students jobs with companies like, among others, NDTV, CNN-IBN, Discovery Channel and Times of India. At a time when the rat race is getting rattier, and cutthroat competition has become matter-of-fact, every extra inch counts. And the “real world experience” provided by SoC, according to 2008 alumnus Pranati Oza, is what has allowed her to survive and flourish in her chosen field. She got to work with Vishal Bhardwaj making Maqbool, so it doesn’t come as a surprise! The in-depth exposure to every prominent media form, like print, TV, radio, online, movies and fiction has helped students identify and work towards their own areas of passion. So I found a practical and holistic course that seems like it will help me reach the position I see myself in 5-10 years from now. It’ll take diligence, focus and a love for trying new things, but platitudes like “fake it till you make it” prove, like stereotypes, to be hollow. There’s clearly a lot more that goes into becoming a media professional than ethnic wear, silver earrings and a jhola. By: Sanjana Manktala, Lady Shriram College

Self-esteem is a child’s passport to lifetime mental health and social happiness. It’s the foundation of a child’s well being and the key to success as an adult. Throughout the life, a child is exposed to both positive and negative influence builders and breakers. Parents can expose their child to more builders and help the child work through the breakers. Responsiveness is the key to increasing infant self-value. The baby gives a cue, for example, crying to be fed or comforted. A care giver responds promptly and consistently. As this cue-response pattern is repeated many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of times during the first year, the baby learns that her cues have meaning: “Someone listens to me, therefore, I am worthwhile.” A stronger self emerges.

Much of a child’s self-image comes not only from what the child perceives about the self, but from how the child thinks others perceive her. This is especially true of preschoolers who learn about themselves from their parents’ reactions. When parents give their children positive feedbacks and compliments, the children learn to think well of themselves. They also willingly rely on their parents because they know they are being judged correctly for their behavior. This in turn becomes a powerful discipline tool. Among various factors that develop confidence, the school environment and teachers play a major role. The children spend a major portion of their time in schools which largely effects their mental and physical development.

The modern day schools are focusing on creating an environment in the schools that is child friendly and at the same time that can help children develop their expertise.

Many parents wonder amongst themselves if private school is the best decision for their children. Many of these parents often wonder if a private school that is same sex oriented should be among their considerations. This can be quite a difficult decision to make for some parents, while some other parents may make the decision rather easily. Either way you look at it, or no matter how hard or easy it is to decide, you still have to decide. One thing you should really consider is what are the benefits of sending your child to this type of school.

One of the biggest things that most parents take into consideration is the idea that their young girls can go to a school where there are no boys who can interfere with their studies. Having boys and girls in the same school opens these children up to the downfalls of early relationships amongst themselves. This often means that the children are spending more of their school hours worried about their relationships rather than their education. This tends to be one of the biggest reasons that most parents have for putting their children in same sex schools, especially when it comes to an all girl private school.

Another reason to use an all girl private school is not a reason that is normally considered, boys and girls develop at different rates and they go through different stages in their lives. Keeping a school same sex oriented allows for the population of the school to be in the same stages of development depending on the age groups of the students. This is one reason that this type of school will not subject your child to being ridiculed when it comes to the stereotypes that are based upon genders. It also allows them to be more aware of the fact that they can become more independent as a woman later in their lives, this helps when it comes to the co-dependency that most relationships tend to develop.

For some girls in the typical boy and girl schools, they have to deal with the pressures of being female and being told that they are not strong enough or that they are not good enough to be just as good or strong as the boys. In an all girl private school, these same girls can learn that they are capable of doing anything that any other person can do. This is one of the greatest developmental tools that any young girl can use throughout the rest of their lives to build and to maintain a sense of confidence that can be directly related to success. The typical thought of this type of school is that the children are deprived of such things as sports and other things that are considered more boy related, which is not true. These schools tend to have strong athletic programs incorporated in them in order to allow the children to be their best.
