Quality education

The word education means- a process of teaching, training, and learning especially in
schools or colleges to improve knowledge and develop skills. Education is the most
important jewelry of the human today. As there are different kinds of institutions for
education, all of them cannot provide quality education. Quality education means
education that is useful and practical in a person's life.

A quality education needs quality teachers, students, teaching learning system, exam
system, supervision, etc. If the teachers are not expert, active, skilled and responsible,
there is no quality education. There are many problems in schools to provide quality
education in Nepal. But some effective practices have been made for it from private
and government side. Still there should be some changes in education system to
overcome such educational problems in Nepal. There is need of training for teachers,
production and application of quality instructional materials. Effective education
policy and stable government with good plan are also necessary for quality education.
Otherwise the education will be a commodity of business. Teachers must be qualified,
honest, sincere and effective in schools and society. Salary, facilities and benefits
must be effective and fascinating for teachers. Equal opportunity for male and
female, children and adult as well as reward and punishment should be applied to
the teachers on the basis of their performance. Schools and colleges must be
politics-free. Timely revision in curriculum and textbooks and proper supervision
should be strict. Everybody should be aware of good education.

In conclusion, only sending children to school or college and paying high fee is not
guarantee of quality education. Quality education is very necessary and it is only
possible through expert, hard-working, trained and faithful teachers as well as
effective use of proper materials.

2. Active learning
Active learning is the process whereby the students engage in activities such as
reading, writing, discussing and problem solving. Active learning helps students in
questioning and judging the class content as they study.
What happens when we listen to music or watch a movie? The more we hear and see,
the more we remember. Same is the case when we are learning; the more we hear
and see while we learn, the more we remember. It’s easier to remember things when
our eyes and ears are involved.
Compared to reading passively over a long period of time, reading actively in a short
period of time saves our time. The more actively we read—with imagination, sounds
and drawings—the more deeply we learn. When we are learning actively, our brain is
exercising. Just like our body feels fresh after playing and running, our mind becomes
fresh and energetic when it is exercised.
