IMPORTANCE OF INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE

Every school promises to strive to do the best in the education sector, but how many of them are successful in

implementing a curriculum that serves as a strong base for education in our country? Today if we take a

consensus of the number of schools that are registered under the government rules and regulations, then

probably we will come across 5 digit figures in quantity, or might be more. Let’s revalue the importance of

International School in India.

The boards of international schools usually have a better syllabus than the ones used by the government

boards, especially in educationally backward nations. For instance, IGCSEs tend to change their syllabi quite

often in order to make sure that it is up to date with current events. The content is not overly difficult either,

and it is designed while considering the educational level of the student in each respective grade. In the case

of state schools, the syllabus content sometimes is dated from forty or fifty years ago and there's no sign of

updated materials.

With an increase in the awareness of the importance of education, along with the rising population, state

schools are being flooded by children, especially in undeveloped countries. A single classroom has to hold

forty to fifty pupils and a single teacher has to cope with just as many students. All this leads to two basic

things: lack of attention towards each student and the deterioration in the teaching standards of the educators.

However, the International schools, on the other hand, have a restricted enrolment of student’s population

each year. They believe that the lesser the number of students, the more time the teachers can spend with each

student, which would raise the level of the standard of education in their school.

International schools follow teaching procedures that aim to bring the best out of a particular pupil. Teachers,

for instance, are trained to pick out the special capabilities of each and every student. In any other school,

there is a high probability that the talent would remain unsupported and go to waste. The unit tests and exams

are not taken too often either. An exam per semester or term is considered effectual in testing the students'

learning without adding unnecessary burden on them.

The courses and the syllabus followed these international schools, ensure a very practical learning approach towards the child’s learning and understanding. These schools pay greater attention to how to cope with children’s abilities to learn and memorize whatever home-work they are given. Generally, kids are given very less of home-work and more of school related tasks, so that teachers are able to monitor the child’s progress.

Also, the teaching is made fun and activity related so that students don’t get bored and generates a dislike for the subject. Regular field trips are organised to various locations for students to get a hold of ground reality, or to bring them awareness about practical approach to their theoretical books. These trips are much needed breaks from the monotonous life that these kids lead these days, and are necessary at the same.
