Teacher Leadership

Teacher Leadership

The world is witnessing various changes in the education sector. With the change comes challenges for its stakeholders. Today we will be discussing the context of teachers and their role as leaders

Meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse student population is a challenge that requires the cooperation of teachers as well as school administrators and education professionals.
As frontline professionals in student learning, educators/teachers/instructors are encouraged to adopt teacher leadership as a practice to bring about meaningful change in school facilities.


Teachers who guide in and out of the classroom
A Google search for ‘teacher leadership’ defines an educator who not only teaches but also takes on additional roles outside the classroom to improve school performance. You will find the term While this is an accurate description, In general, teacher leaders are characterized by their ability to lead others in all roles in the school.
“Teacher leadership leads inside and outside the classroom. Teachers can be leaders in modeling best practices. Other teachers see what they are doing, so they
“Teacher leadership leads inside and outside the classroom,” school leaders resonate more when it is passed on from one educator to another.


Teaching Guide Knows How to Work Effectively with scholars and adults as well

one of the biggest misconceptions educators have about teacher leadership is that peers are taught in the same way as students. That’s what many believe it should be. Skills that educators acquire through years of classroom practice are valuable, but not always transferable.

Learning how to communicate effectively, take initiative, and share expertise are some of the skills that set teachers apart as leaders.

Teacher Leaders are the change agents in their school

There’s no doubt that the role of a school principal is essential, but you don’t have to be an administrator to make an impact at your school. It’s important for educators to understand what it means to be a leader and how they can use their talents and expertise to lead others.

Hence a teacher leader stands for

Domain of Expertise

Teacher leaders share their expertise. Expertise can take the form of specific content knowledge or skills (e.g. mathematics, social-emotional learning) or educational skills (e.g. teaching with technology, questioning strategy). Their expertise can also come in the form of leadership skills (e.g. helping teams build consensus, and making data-driven decisions).
While sharing expertise, the teacher leader gains expertise as the team progresses professionally to solve the problems they have identified. They seek to learn from their peers – believing that group collective knowledge is essential to successful teaching and student learning – and continue to build their knowledge and skills.
Subject teachers are not always teacher leaders. However, building expertise is essential to becoming a teacher leader.

Great Communicators

Teacher leaders are great communicators. An important leadership skill for teachers is their ability to prioritize listening over speaking and try to understand different perspectives. Instructor leaders clarify, review, and integrate ideas and questions to understand concerns and leverage the expertise of others. They also strive for open communication where all ideas are heard and all possibilities are explored. Teacher leaders want to solve problems by getting groups to think outside the box.
One of the essential qualities of their communication is honesty. Teacher leaders communicate in a professional and honest manner, reflecting on what works and what does not. Instead of avoiding difficult conversations, admit where you made mistakes and where you need to change.

Inspiring Leadership

Those involved in educational leadership are familiar with the concept of transformational leaders. Transformational leaders collaborate with others to solve problems and implement and oversee strategic initiatives. Transformational leaders believe that everyone has an important contribution to make and everyone needs to be involved, so they inspire everyone to do their best. It is the core of effective leadership and not easy to master.
Inspirational Teacher Leaders engage their peers not because they feel they have to, but because they want to. They take risks, solve complex problems, and make changes as wisely as possible.
This inspiring role of teacher leaders is important and often overlooked. Teacher leaders are peers, not bosses, so successful leadership depends on other teachers wanting to follow their example.

Agent of Change

While most teachers are professionals with effective communication skills, teacher leaders differentiate themselves by being agents of change. They take the initiative and are committed to success. Education is a profession that constantly “reforms” and responds to social, economic, and political change.

This constant change makes being a teacher exciting and demanding. That is why teacher leadership is so important. All schools need teachers to “lean on” when changes occur.
Changes may be made by school district administrators (principals, superintendents, boards of education) or by government mandates, such as new state or federal laws.

Changes may also be required within grade-level teams or departments, with a focus on helping specific groups of students. Change can be initiated when teacher leaders themselves realize that things need to be done differently. If teachers are agents of change, they transform schools, communities, and professional communities by supporting (and in turn inspiring) others to make changes that have a meaningful and positive impact on their students.

Discovery initiator

Teacher leaders are pioneers. They are first-time adopters and are happy to try new ideas and discover invisible “holes” in new initiatives. They volunteer in pilot projects and pursue professional development opportunities to learn more. This enables you to improve your practices, share your experiences, collaborate with others to solve problems and achieve your team’s goals.
An important part of this exploratory quality is for teacher leaders to share their vulnerabilities by speaking openly about their successes and failures.
They demonstrate integrity, an important part of building trust, by sharing their failures and “hard lessons” with their peers and encouraging them to follow the path they have begun to blaze.
All teachers need to explore more and this can start with new teachers.

Education Charter International

Everyone has the right to have a quality education, but it is important to have the opportunity to learn in a way that meets and respects individual needs and differences. Traditional learning models often favor those with good memories, but learning is more than just passing exams.
Experiential learning is a learning theory that offers an alternative to traditional learning models, so it is important to understand what the experiential learning cycle looks like, the benefits of this learning model, and how it can be applied to different areas of life.


What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning is the idea that experience is generated through continuous interaction and engagement with the world around us, and that learning is an inevitable product of experience. This learning theory differs from cognitive and behavioral learning theories because it takes a more holistic approach. It takes into account the role that all experiences play in learning, including emotional, cognitive, and environmental factors.
The theory of experiential learning favors conscious and natural learning over rote learning. The two are different in approach and practice. Whereas rote or redundant learning usually involves studying for exams/competitions/challenges/jobs etc., which can be accomplished by mugging up information drawn from textbooks or given syllabi, and just like a short-term memory the learned subjects/topics are lost with the passing of time.
However, conscious and natural learning is usually about learning (Interest factors are always there with learners) something using a variety of methods, from reading and experimenting to role-playing and discussion. These methods help students really understand what they are learning by applying and discussing theory rather than simply memorizing it.


Learning from experience:

What the student does open in Saraswati World School campus, they explore how learning from experience involves a process of facilitating platforms and support for independent thinking and creativity and outside-the-box encouragement. This shows that experiential learning enables students to express curiosity for knowing beyond textbooks, change old habits, challenge prejudices and ideas, and explore new ways of thinking.

Latest education trend in 2023

Latest Education Trend 2023

In a period of 20-30 years education has witnessed the biggest ever change in the way, techniques, methods, ideas, presentation, experience, thought process, way of working, and whatnot. The prime factor in the change is indeed the new innovative technologies replacing the old ideas, techniques, methods, and ways to organize things.

With the advent of the internet and its ever-evolving innovative applications for mass use, every aspect of our lives has grown beyond recognition.

Whether it’s our economy, where from the days of bartering we’ve reached the point of instant electronic delivery, or our modes of transportation have evolved from bullock carts pulled to hybrid vehicles, the change is palpable in every aspect of our lives. Education is an industry that not only undergoes a change in itself but also drives change in other areas.

Come to think of it, whether it’s the digital transformation or the evolution of our economy, it’s all about new inventions that require an in-depth level of research and learning.
Hence, the central arena where change takes place, and rightly so, is also the education sector. We may not notice the changing trends in education, but they are as present as any trend that is constantly changing with changing technology and new concepts.

Even in practice, our classes and teaching evolve and improve year after year to keep up with the changing trends of the outside world. From subjects to teaching methods, the whole educational process has made remarkable progress compared to previous years. Like all trends, many debates the outcome of current educational trends, for better or for worse.
The field of education has had positive changes at all levels. From elementary school to university level, we are seeing new techniques implemented in lectures and even syllabi, and contents have drastically changed.

In the broader education sector, professional qualifications are seen as one of the most important heralds of change. As the cradle of future professionals, these degrees reflect the trends of the times as well as the prospects for the future.

With the rapid development of the industrial space, it is imperative to develop our training courses and their applications according to the needs of the times. The first step to doing this is to update the trends of the current years as well as the expected trends of the coming years. Here we have carefully chosen important education trends for the current year and 2023 as well.

  1. Technological Advancement across all levels

Technology and human labor have traditionally been opposed. This is mainly due to the fear that technology will replace humans. However, technology is designed by humans to support human work. So, when appropriate, the two form a symbiotic relationship with each other. Once this fear has dissipated, the focus must be on adapting to the technological developments that are coming our way. In this context, technological advancement has become one of the prominent education trends in 2023.

Various commercial sectors are moving towards workflow automation including adding artificial intelligence as their backbone. However, the human interface is absolutely vital to a smooth workflow. In education right from basic teaching to delivery is all impacted by technological innovation and advancement.

Innovative Teaching methods complemented with technological advancement.

2. soft skills training in the curriculum

An important trend in education trend in 2023 is a marked shift from topic-based rote learning to more skill-based learning methods. Educators stress the importance of developing skills around cognitive thinking, problem-solving, and management. Application-based curricula, which do away with simple facts and figures and instead challenge students to apply learning to real-life situations, are increasingly emerging.


At the same time, comprehensive development of leadership skills, team building skills, and communication skills is being instilled in students through classroom learning.

With a focus on offline and online education, students are prepared for real-world challenges. This is a radical departure from traditional school teachings. Students learn the skills they need to not only help them navigate the world of work with confidence but also have a knowledgeable and skilled workforce for the days to come.

3. Innovation in content and teaching modules

At the same time, another important education trend in 2023 reflects the diversity of subjects included in conventional schools, colleges, and university curricula. From applied linguistics to advanced lab experiments, from food anthropology to field trip studies, and from cultural studies to robotics, today’s courses and subject options are truly unique, transformative, and revolutionary in many ways.

Digital change in education

The course structure and assessment modules are also designed to maintain a realistic perspective and reduce the stress of memorization. The recognition that there is value in learning and the need to learn non-traditional subjects in order to better appreciate our current socio-political problems and come up with appropriate solutions is a distant future though when we look at the obsession of graduating in engineering or medical or law college. New courses have opened up even more possibilities for innovation in specialist fields.

4. Personalized and inclusive Learning environment

An encouraging and long-awaited education trend in 2023 involves the increasing integration of more comprehensive and accessible learning modules. Special education modules are no longer limited to special schools, but mainstream schools are instead adopting inclusive learning facilities to make it easier for students with disabilities. This can have a significant impact on the employability of people with disabilities.

education trend


This is another important step in overcoming prejudice against students with disabilities. The world is finally realizing the fact that there are countless Stephen Hawkings whose geniuses are underutilized simply because of a lack of appropriate resources and sensibilities. The inclusion of more accessible teaching methods and tools in the classroom makes this a promising educational trend in 2023.

Soft Skills Training in Education

Soft Skills Training

with the advent of new education policy, soft skills training in the curriculum has been at the top of the town.

Now let’s discuss this topic in detail

 If you remember past days rote learning was at the top of all studies whether these personal tuitions or classes or examinations or any other career options, rote learning was an inseparable part of our educational curriculum.

Over a period of time paradigm changes took place in the education sector and yes time has changed.

And the entire focus is not shifted towards soft skills training in the curriculum which means rote learning is no more the choice of this generation and skill-based learning has taken root in almost every sector of education.

Nowadays the discussion of education policy wherever educators meet, and seminars are organized the main topic is to build aptitude around cognitive skills around creative zeal, problem-solving ideas, and many more such skills which are required in real life.

The newly drafted well-researched syllabus of the institutions enables today’s generation to apply the learning in real life and that sort of thing is resurfacing more and more the old syllabus type which contained the data and figure statistics of no use is now dumped and instead, a new way of learning has come up.

Instead of dumping all data and figures in the mind of students now education teachers and the school emphasize various skills like public speaking, leadership skill, creative thinking skills, problem-solving skills, etc. which may be developed during classroom learning and it’s very important to step with a focus on online and offline studies viz-a-viz indoor and outdoor studies.

Now the students are well equipped, well-learned, and well-trained to deal with the real challenges in the world this is a drastic change in the tradition of the books teaching in the school. It’s a new era of learning. This new approach of teaching has been taken as a nation-building approach where we find informed citizenry in the form of students who are capable enough to understand things and face the challenges i.e the real challenges in the world and make this country a wonderful place so this is a grand change from traditional teaching to a new generation teaching of students.

This new generation of students is acquiring soft skills to navigate the world with challenges and the work of different natures they can enter this world with confidence and make a generation working for the betterment of society. one of the best examples of soft skills training which is implemented in Saraswati World school is the implementation of NEST methods or nest methodologies where creative thinking and the approach towards technology are cautiously balanced in every student and where understanding of any subject is kept high instead of just rote learning and indoor and outdoor studies is the trademark of nest methodology. This kind of implementation can transform the school from a traditional rote learning student to a highly creative competitive, competent, and very smart student there is a large number of implementation examples and ideas which may be implemented or adopted at the school level to develop soft skills training or to make students shine and rock to deal with the real world.

NEST methodology is also including soft skills training in the framework.

The inclusion of soft skills training via third-party support is a way to nurture and grow with changes.

Digital Literacy Curriculum for schools

Digital Literacy curriculum is fast becoming an important skill set for the entire learning community in an increasingly digital world.

It is not to be understood as a course or degree but as an ability to learn, read, understand, analyze, communicate, and mingle in social, cultural, civic, and intelligent life on the digital platform. So the skills for a digital passport are how effectively you handle the tools for it.

The way of communication and collaboration is now in a digital environment that is much more advanced, quick, and all-pervasive.

And the rise of educational technology complements the necessity of digital literacy.

The latest trend is catching fire globally in some of the best schools and colleges at full pace.

Digital literacy curriculum is being absorbed and knitted as part and parcel of the entire curriculum and no subjects or stream is left behind for mingling with educational technology. Schools and colleges are now working to establish it as the latest tool to understand, learn, explore and grow in the path of knowledge in completely changing scenarios.

Now we advocate the four major reasons to adopt digital literacy curriculum as a whole action plan for schools and colleges.

The Education Charter International promotes Digital Literacy Curriculum for schools

1. Preparing for Change

Young Minds need to be prepared to enable them to deal with the increasingly saturated world of digital technologies.

2. Reality compliments study

As young people are already using or engaging with digital tools and technologies to find, explore research things of interest and knowledge, and communicate in this way beyond the school campus. This situation poses great opportunities and challenges to address it.

3. Uneven and differential sets of ability

Young people have varying degrees of usage and engagement of digital technology with altogether different levels of skills and knowledge and this poses the responsibility to schools and colleges to propagate this technology to mitigate the gap.

4. Changing Knowledge Pattern

Developing a digital literacy curriculum paves way for students to access subjects, and knowledge at a time when digital technology is fast introducing and changing the way knowledge is created and communicated. It helps schools to engage with children’s lived experiences and knowledge to make learning more relevant and purposeful.

Nano learning – future of teaching

Nano Learning

With the advent of new technology for almost everything or work, education is no exception to this and remarkable changes can be seen in this field where the traditional way of teaching and instruction is fast changing to achieve the best from every student.

One such initiative is nano learning which is also going popular across schools, colleges, and universities. another name for nano learning is short learning or macro learning and these are interchangeably used.

In some places, it is seen that nano learning is shown different from microlearning which is altogether a different subject and will not be discussed in this topic.

The last two years have been the toughest for human life and so for providing education. The extraordinary situation has forced us to sit back in front of a computer screen for hours to receive an education. The consequences of such long-drawn sitting and exposure to computer screens are showing colors in the form of sickness, psychological problems, mental fatigue, eyesight problems, physical exertion, etc., and these outcomes lead to complicated problems related to a reduced state of attention span for students means loss of focus and concentration and different behavior of human (student) psyche.

Entire learning is compromised as reduced attention span or focus coupled with disinterest is a matter of concern for everyone.

To deal with the little attention span one can resort to a nano learning model to deal with the situation.

To define nano learning in one sentence is ” to provide information in smaller possible size to students to understand and learn it in quickest possible time.”

For example instead of sending an entire chapter of 5000 words to students for learning once divided the same into 500 words or Para and provide the same to students to gauge it fast.

from student psychology, it is evident that learning in short bursts is proven to be useful for students to retain the information and adapt for better cognition.

so one can say that by providing small pallets of information it is likely to see a tremendous rise in efficacy in studies.

And if things move in a positive direction it is not that difficult to grasp the attention of students and aid their ability for better cognition.

The practical approach to implement this model in the classroom is four steps model.

No1. Identify the need of the students- by this we mean to investigate and find the area of the subjects not properly understood by students or the chapters or topics students ask for.

No2. Finalize your learning objective – by this, we mean to understand the requirement like theory or practice or indoor or outdoor, etc.

No3. Choose your teaching ai carefully – by this we mean the use of technological aids available like a smart board, computer, or whiteboard whatever you find suitable to reach your students.

No.4 Last but not least keep your lecture or presentation short to 4-5 minutes

To bring nano learning is not a very easy job but continuous efforts and collaboration will help in achieving it in a shorter time.

International Accreditation

NEST methodologies is a revolutionary form of education registered under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that aim to dismantle, reinvent and revolutionize education in order to provide its students with the best possible mental tools to excel in the modern world.

introduction to the concept and applications of NEST methodologies.

The concepts of education as we know them today were not meant for a modernized society driven by science and technology, but rather for an industrial era where jabs and social responsibilities a person had to perform consisted of the same repetitive task done over and over again for the rest of their career. Conventional education is therefore not adequate for a modernized society or any society that aims to become modernized for the sake of its citizens. NEST methodologies is a revolutionary form of education registered under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that aim to dismantle, reinvent and revolutionize education in order to provide its students with the best possible mental tools to excel in the modern world.

Revolutionize teaching methods

Kofi Annan the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations once said “Knowledge is power, information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress in every society, in every country.” Every individual throughout history who dedicated his or her life to social development pointed towards education as one of the most important factors in forming a civilized society. But it is not uncommon knowledge that in most parts of the world educational systems are failing to provide students with the tools necessary to achieve their full potential in our highly competitive globalized society. Sustainable Development goal Action 12448 registered under the United Nations provides the concept of NEST methodologies of education. NEST stands for Nature Environment Science and Technology. These four pillars of this method of education bring a new dimension of learning to both the student and the teacher.

For better result an area of 5oo sq. ft. is sufficient to have a class of 25 to 30 students. The regular classroom should be designed to have a positive effect on every student. Needless to say that every classroom should ideally be equipped with the latest educational technology.

The heart of any educational institution is its library. A library should have well stock of books, magazine, and digital content on various subjects of interest with proper sitting area which allows students to use the service conveniently.

The School library is a quiet and calm place with a soothing ambience for the students to concentrate better.

A good school campus with adequate spaces makes it a living place for the children to excel. The impact of educational infrastructure on the students set out to identify empirical well-being of students in schools.

The school must have an online presence in the form of working websites with updated information about curriculum, rules and regulations, notices, fees structures, new circular, details of teachers and staffs, holidays details etc. The Presence on Facebook, twitter and google will be an additional advantage.

Nowadays social sites are the first point of contact for the public and it helps them decide what to choose. Most of the information and activities are shared through these platforms.

Having these active social accounts helps us understand the school better.

Changing teaching methodology- New possibilities and challenges

Past few decades have witnessed a number of methodologies and teaching techniques used to teach students in the classroom.

New innovation and thoughts overpower past techniques and in some cases, long-forgotten techniques of teaching become favourite again. It seems the innovative approach and past practices go hand in hand and most of the time compliment each other.

There have been unending debates on usefulness or effectiveness of various methodologies used. However, in some methodologies, things are changing as perceived.

As a rule, the curriculum is designed and presented to students by the accredited school boards (Private and Public) under the broader educational framework set by the government. For example in India, There is a number of school boards (CBSE, ICSE, IB, State Boards) running under the broader policy guidelines of Ministry of Human Resouces. However, the main work starts at school or teachers level and teachers with the coordination of the study directors plan the whole process of each course considering the suitability of the content to match with the IQ and EQ of students.

The said methodology and techniques are put to use by the teacher in the classroom which determines the progress and development of students under set parameters and experience of each teacher is what determines the percentage of success achieved in the development of students through the use of said techniques.

The very basis of most of the methodology is that education must be available to everyone regardless of race, colour or sex.

One of the important techniques used is the introduction of the concept of teamwork amongst students (in fact the old methodology used in Gurukul – ancient education system – very much supported teamwork ).

In this technology-driven world, techniques can’t be practised without the use of technology and hence various techniques in the form of personalized studies, smart classes, the tablet form of learningInteractive Board, Augmented reality-based educationsports-based education etc are in use in almost every corner of the world. And some of these are successful in nurturing the young minds for a better society.

Interactive whiteboard based education

Augmented Reality-Based Education

Sports-based Education

One of the new methodologies which are fast coming up is NEST: Nature, Environment, Science and Technology.

The four pillars of this methodology bring a new dimension of learning and development for students. This method focuses on practical classes with the outdoor student’s group together with the teachers to understand the first-hand experience of nature and environment like practical classes in the field, farming tours etc. It is essential to know where and how the process of such things are done in reality. The idea is to make students aware of the natural processes of our mother nature. The idea is to bring hierarchical knowledge of education.

And the environment respects the same as a natural way to understand the things around us.

Such methodology makes balances between practical exposure and technological gadgets. Use of technology to explore various stream of knowledge is backed by practical classes. One such technological driven way is personalized learning of every student.

In general, there is two way of teaching:

1. The teacher-centred approach (expository approach) where the teacher exposes knowledge to the learners.

2. The learner-centred approach (heuristic approach) where learners are encouraged to find information on their own.

With the advent of new methodology, new avenues of knowledge are also open to students like a robotic lab, observatory labs, new experiment labs, skill development labs etc.

Importance of Science Lab

In this world of education where plenty of methodologies are available for schools to follow one can’t say which one is more effective or useful for students and only the progress of students can best be used as a yardstick to justify any technique or methodology.

Beyond Board Exam – Chill and Fill

In today’s education system board exams bring nervousness, fear and anxiety to most of the students. It is one of the major challenges that every student has to undergo to come out successful in life.

I am writing this article for those students who are struggling hard to deal with the pressure of the board exam.

In the first part, I suggest how to study and what mistakes most of the students do at the initial stage. In the second part, I share tips.

I have named my approach “chill and fill” and here chill refers to necessary breaks one has to go for after studies which give necessary rest to the brain and fill refers to fill up all the gaps that may come up after learning any topic by way of revision and discussion.

The mistake most of the students does is to take all new topics at a time to learn when they see exam is fast approaching. The human brain works in a particular way and once information is fed to the brain it takes time to settle it in the subconscious mind. And before one information is properly set if new information keeps coming chances of draining or lapse will be high.

The diagram shows that students take up most of the topics at a time when exams are fast approaching and they don’t actually get time to revise or make it permanent in their brain. And all their efforts go in vain.

I recommend regular pyramid for every student.

This diagram follows that most of the topics need to be covered in the initial period and as time rolls out one needs to pay attention to revision and little or no further addition to a new topic.

While studying “Self-rewarding” in the form of chill out with friends and relatives is a must for every student.

Two things student must do while exams are approaching first to fill all the lapses or deficiency in previous learning by way of revision and discussion and second to chill out to give relaxation to the brain.

Most of the parents expect their children to be in study mode 24*7 but in truth, it’s not possible as the human brain has certain limits beyond which it can’t function. Chill out with near and dear one is a very good idea to accelerate brain working in young minds.

Many of the students might have missed the initial pyramid and now facing the challenges of memorising a large number of topics at a time which is a daunting task for anyone.

I recommend 10 -15 mins meditation every day to make the mind calm and settled. The calm mind can do wonder in the exam. The meditation coupled with chill out at regular interval is a good idea for latecomers.

Real Challenges in Student’s Life and ways to win over it

With changing world everything changes like lifestyle, relation, etiquette, education and society at large.

Change always brings permutation and combination of balances and imbalances. So if I ask what changes 21st century brought for us and most will reply “imbalance” where? In today’s youth what we called students in schools and colleges.

Every student walks in with umbrella of comfort and pre-notions and gets surrounded by new challenges which he or she perceived as a problem and here the real problem starts in a student’s life.

The surprising part of this created notion is that the students who are facing it never admit it and this non-admission of ground reality put them in a difficult situation and it affects them in such a way that they grow up to a different persona and psyche.

And guess what happens to them when they attend maturity age to take responsibilities. It will be a complete mess with their life.

So identifying such problems at an early age and its resolution is the need of the hour. And every parent must not leave it to time and destiny. The job is difficult on the part of parents and teachers as well but to start with it we may first think of the nature and magnitude of problems youth are facing in today’s world.

To understand this we must look at the three-tier structure of youth’s life.

The very outer or apparent problem lies at the physical level and we call it Physical level problem

The inner or non – physical problems lie at young minds and it looks subtle and mostly hidden or concealed at their end. It’s a conflict in the inner world.

And the third one is the subtlest form arising due to various social reasons. It’s a conflict between the inner and outer world.

At the physical level, the lists are long and most of us know about it some of these problems are – lengthy curriculum, study burden, boredom because of distractions causing bunking or skipping classes. And most students complain about the focus problem and daydreaming. 21st Century lifestyle has quietly replaced the healthy lifestyles previous generation used to follow and the consequence is most of the youth are having health issues at an early age. The poor health index affects their overall performance in studies and other related activities. The lack of inclination towards sports due to better distraction at hand (Mobile) has completely ruined the health of this generation. The imbalance at a very physical level from lifestyle to health and from focus to concentration form first or outer layer of problems surrounding most of the students.

While analyzing the problem deeper and look at the inner wall of the problem it looks even scarier and it appears to be the collection of suicidal tendency, anxiety, depression, stress and despair at an extreme level. Most of the problem comes from subtler issues like peer pressure, competition, distractions of 21st century, adolescent issues, social taboos including sex, laziness etc. some of the problems are age-related and some are due to changing social pattern. These problems are so grave that most of the undesired event happened at the student’s life is due to imbalance of the inner wall of the problem.

The problems at the social level are the consequence of physical and mental level problems and often come up due to inner and outer conflict. The first subtlest problem is de-motivation. Understand this as the effect of root cause i.e stress anxiety etc. The nature and source of demotivation are many and present in the form of parents, neighbours, teachers, and friends. The second one is discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, social status, country origin, gender or creed.

The three together i.e. the outer, the inner and the conflict in between complete the cycle of the real problem faced by students.

So what solutions we are expecting? Do we expect a shortcut or instant remedy which takes away all the problems instantly? Certainly, there are no solutions which are short cut or instant.

To me, solutions are like an investment which in the long run pays a heavy dividend to investors. The approach to finding a solution lies within the problem we just have to look at it.

Finally, what are solutions which we can offer to today’s youth? There are four steps solution which is in general applicable to every student.

The first step is to bring discipline to your lifestyle. The much-needed discipline will bring necessary balance in once health and all we know healthy mind stays in a healthy body.

The second step is resetting the mind free of from anxiety and stress and this is only possible from meditation which reinvigorates mind to its full potential to deal with problems as challenges.

The third step is to enjoy the consequence of the previous two steps – bring back all joy and happiness in one’s life. Remember Youth can’t harness the full potential of their mind unless the necessary balance is not achieved to have a calm mind.

The fourth step is to be consistent in all three steps as these steps are not 21 days course but a lifelong commitment.

Just to remember embracing health, discipline, meditation for happiness and joy is key to unlock the full potential of youth and getting rid of all problems.
