“He is curious to know about the flora and fauna of his place. You can show him the river flowing in his area or the type of soil found near his school.”

You have made a very significant statement here. These are things which needs to be taught. But in my textbooks i remember such activities being mentioned at the end of some chapters.

But since the onus on the teachers is to display high marks in the examinations, the activities are seldom read. Such activities do not interest the student nor the teacher as it does not provide them with ‘marks’.

Prancer, thank you so much for encouragement. Can you tell me what MUSA stands for? What are the objectives? I think you are doing a lot in your field. Hats off to you.

Paavani,Ask any student, he/she will always answer that they never study from NCERT textbooks. They always study from side books. And forget about in-depth knowledge. Teaching a child , world history first means introducing a newborn child to neighbors first and then to parents. Every single educationalist in the world agrees, that a child should be thought about his surroundings first.
