Bhavan’s Vidya Mandir Elammakkara and 360 Degree Careers
October 1, 2020
Our recent interaction with Bhavan’s Vidya Mandir Elammakkara and 360 Degree Careers was an opportunity to delve into the realms of mental health and homeschooling, particularly within the framework of the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). In this discussion, we addressed questions posed by parents, shedding light on the potential of NIOS and its unique approach to education.
As a concerned parent, I found these questions to be both relevant and pressing, touching on crucial aspects of education and personal development:
- Emotional Balance and Self-Respect : The need for emotional balance and self-respect in today's fast-paced world cannot be understated. Parents rightly inquired about the possibility of imparting these essential life skills to children in an engaging and enjoyable manner, such as through games, yoga, or meditation.
- Achieving Ambitions : Ambitions and dreams are what drive many students. The question about staying focused on the path to achieving these aspirations and maintaining a high level of concentration is a concern shared by many, including myself.
- Identifying Strengths : Every child possesses unique strengths, and as parents, we often wonder how to identify and nurture these strengths. This question, particularly in the context of subject choices for higher studies, is of great significance.
The video discussion, featuring Dr. Alok Kumar Gupta, Regional Director of NIOS Kochi, and Ms. Indu, the founder director of 360 Degree Careers, provided invaluable insights into these questions. It also offered a firsthand account of a mother who transitioned her child from the CBSE system to NIOS. The flexibility and choices afforded by NIOS have had a profoundly positive impact on her daughter's educational journey.
The full video provides a comprehensive exploration of these topics and serves as a testament to the potential of flexible education. To watch the complete discussion, please follow this [link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbunuAtzwb8).
At TogetherWeCan, we are committed to dispelling myths and championing the power of flexible education to meet the diverse needs of students. Our goal is to ensure their mental well-being and holistic development, and I am truly inspired by the positive changes that NIOS offers in this regard.
