Why do we ask 'Why" ?
What a way it was to start the formal monday morning assemblies at our school in this academic year, with the thought shared by our Head Teacher, why do we ask 'Why'? The thoughts that he kept infusing last year and which continues this year is actually what works wonders in keeping the monday morning blues at bay and add value to my existence.
Today is World Ozone Day and I had been asked to be a guest speaker for the same during the assembly. What I had prepared to share with the school community members could be so well linked with what I heard in the morning. Our head teacher left us all with an impending thought about discovering our own self, about who we are, to think about the past , present and the future. And probably my speech connected from there itself.
World Ozone Day is celebrated all over the world on 16th of September to mark the success of the Montreal Protocol signed in 1887 for the prevention of depletion of the ozone layer. As my conversation moved around the information that I had collected and collated over the internet, the most interesting facts that I could reveal were the extent to which the targets in reduction of production and consumption of the ozone depleting substances set way back in the late 19th century have been achieved by 2011 to a significant way.
The entire discussion brought 4 important thoughts to light:
1. The importance of identifying crisis and the problems related to that.
2. To have a vision to pull oneself away from the crisis with probable projected scenarios
3. To take collaborative intervention if the crisis has a collective nature
4. Meticulous planning by setting targets and having a proper review and action plan for the same.
Does not this coincide with the way the whole education process is set in our school?
The discussion very fluidly connected to the prior thoughts given by the head teacher.It is all due to the tireless efforts of scientists, technologists, legal advisors, economists and policy makers, of identifying the planet earth as the "SELF". A zeal to look through the crisis of the past planning meticulously and implementing the present , by means of which a far better planet can be handed over to our future generation. Our students got a deep insight into the necessity of a connected and collaborative platform of effective communication between interdisciplinary wings for progress.
