The day I learned about the power of writing
Okay, so, from the age of 4 to the age of 9, I was the type of student who hated writing. I hated writing so much between those years. I was more of a girly girl, meaning, I was sassy, and I had attitude. I was more of a singer, dancer, and an actor, (I still am sort of an actor!) and the least thing that I ever thought would be a part of my life, was writing.

Just like work, education has forced itself to find ways to continue or studying would be sidestepped only until the risk of getting COVID-19 becomes lower. With that, schools and universities turned to online classes so that students could still continue learning from their homes while the coronavirus is still roaming around. However, many students were not happy with this idea, and they went on to campaign for mass promotion for all students amidst the pandemic. Are they right to fight for such idea?

What? No GCSE’s?
Of all the pandemics to hit countries in the past, the coronavirus may be the biggest crises to hit the world as we currently know it.

It has been said that the economic effects of this pandemic will outweigh the effects of the credit crunch of 2008. So I ask , what would the effects of Coronavirus on formal education be? In a time where almost all of the world has had to lockdown and effectively shutdown what used to be the normal way of life. Can it stay the same? Will it have the same purpose? What was it’s main purpose in the first place? What needs to change? and should there be any change for that matter?

Are Grades Hurting Your Education?
As an undergraduate STEM student, I am all too familiar with the feeling of dread that accompanies the return of graded exams. The pit in your stomach grows as you peek at the red markings, afraid of what might be in store. The anxiety surrounding graded school work can be overwhelming and paralyzing, especially when grades are seen as the currency of academic success. From medical schools and graduate schools to parents and peers, the leading discourse is that maintaining a high GPA is imperative. To many, a motivated, successful student is dependent upon the promised reward of a high grade. But are grades actually helping us learn?

The Accommodation Trap
For 12 years, students are conditioned to believe that once you've got that cap and gown, you have made it. With Diploma in hand, you are now ready to face the world and strut along to college in a happily ever after sequence befitting of a High School Musical ending scene.

Why India needs more sincere students !
India, with its rich cultural heritage and welcoming nature has always been the centre stage when someone looks up the definition of democracy. The constitution of the country has given way to accommodate the humanitarian needs and rights of the citizens and make it a secular nation in it own way. However when one sees the country and reads about the different versions of the democratic nuances, it can be easily found that the country is not what it looks like.
