How Do We Sustain Student Success
“Education is the key to the future. A key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away; turn it the other way and you realize resources and give people back to themselves.” — Sir Ken Robinson

The ideal Education in best Indian Schools in Sharjah takes the children through various subjects and teaches them the progress made by humankind in relation to these subjects. Now, progress will only happen if the children learn to apply their creativity to the field of knowledge that they are passionate about and take innovative steps to improve that field with the skills and resources they have. Education must prepare them by equipping them with these skills and resources in addition to the knowledge being imparted.
Similar to the regular physical training, which equips the body to attempt a 100 M Gold in the Olympics, the child’s mind must also be trained to achieve success in whatever field he/she chose. Excellence is when you have continued successes over a period of time, so much so, that it becomes second nature.
The most invaluable skill that a child can learn is to lose his or her fear towards committing mistakes. This is a challenge in today’s environment, where children are awarded only for the rights and penalized for the wrongs, sending a subtle message to them that there is no excuse for mistakes, and that it is wrong for a child to be ‘not correct’. But the fact of the matter is that, children, or even adults, only come up with something original and innovative, only if they have the mental strength to “be wrong” or, in other words, fail and move on by learning from their failures.
Hence, instead of training them to aim too low and succeed, which will not prepare them for life’s failures, teachers have the enormous responsibility to teaching the children to aim high, fail, learn from the failure and move forward until they succeed!
And, most importantly, making the children passionate about whatever they do, or encouraging them to find their own passions is the next major responsibility of a teacher which ASPAM IIS, one of the best CBSE Schools in Sharjah, takes care. Losing the fear of being “wrong” gives children the confidence to be creative and innovative. Combined with passion for their creations, they truly become sources of inspiration and success that any educator would be proud of!
