Actor Aamir Khan recently was a part of an interactive session with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at St Xavier’s College emphasizing the changes the education and teachers must make in themselves.
He says, “Today, students are mostly focussing on memorising their subjects because they have to face questions like ‘Did you come first?’, ‘How much did you score in mathematics?’”
“I would like to hear teachers telling students: ‘Hey, your friend is weak in this subject, would you help him?’”
“This will incorporate the feeling of sharing and caring among students and will help in making them good individuals. We should teach our kids to be caring.”
“Sadly, more emphasis is given to report cards and less on exploring minds.”
“Teaching should be a high paying job so that youngsters should aim at becoming teachers. I would like to see that one day in India, teaching is the most highly paid job.”
