Education for todays learners should be a perfect amalgamation of the past, present and future. With the emergence of learning societies the children should have the urge and need to learn and learn continuously and spontaneously . The 21st century also sees the dawn of a knowledge era. So the child should try to understand the dynamics ,use, management and assimilation of knowledge. It also calls for greater quality conscious learners. The students should go beyond the realms of the prescribed text and syllabus to enhance the creative and thinking skills in them. The learning process should undergo a change. With the explosion of knowledge it becomes difficult to impart all the know how within a short duration of time. It is in this context the learner has to be equipped with tools so as to make him a continuous and spontaneous learner..
Child centric democratic classrooms should be encouraged where in the students learn to pose queries, express themselves , discuss problems and debate eloquently. To quote De Bono here who rightly said “ Thinking is a deliberate exploration of experience for a purpose “ If thinking is not triggered then learning is passive, restricted and rigid. The 21st century learner should be provided with virtual classrooms and E-schools today. We are required to provide the learners with a stimulating learning experience which encourage learning by doing and enhances the quality and quantity of learning. It makes the learners self reliant, confident and permanent and remain focused on real know and conceptual understanding. The world of work needs human resources who are knowledge sensitive , have a high E.Q and have the capacity to acquire and update skills continuously. With increasing emotional gaps we need to pay more emphasis to the emotional health of the learners by laying a greater thrust on co-operation and addressing team building and partnership . The role of newspapers magazines and electronic media should be encouraged. In order to explore newer skills for sorting a number of activities, drama/theatre in learning, project work, team work etc should be introduced. The children are to be introduced to the exciting world of Life skills, meditation, games, hobbies, extensive reading, yoga, Nature trails, Social Service programmes, Personality Development Exercise, Adventure sports etc. These activites will instill in them self esteem, self confidence and faith and are good stress busters.


It is an accepted fact that with competitive innovations, rapid strides in science and technology, Commuication and Competition, there has been a degeneration of moral, spiritual and humam values. Value Education should be interwoven into the very curriculum . It ought to be integrated into every subject. There should be motivational writing interwoven with project orientation and problem solving approach that take the learner closer to real life situations.
Last but not the least the libraries should be able to facilitate net conferencing between students Students and teachers inter school net symposiums Science and social awareness etc. Intranet systems should facilitate exchange of ideas and information. School web magazines should be flatted to the other schools also.
