ffective education is a learning experience.

Education brings a natural and lasting change in one’s thinking and ability to do things. Many people have a superficial concept of education. It is compared to taking a particular course or gaining a certain qualification.

However, qualifications and courses do not always correspond to effective education. People can take courses without significant permanent change. People can achieve qualifications without change.

Education is the process of accelerating learning or acquiring knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, habits, and personal development.

Teaching methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion, and purposeful research.

Education always takes place under the guidance of teachers; however, students can also educate themselves. Education can take place in a formal or informal environment, and any experience that has a formative influence on the way we think, feel or act can be considered educational. The teaching method is called pedagogy.

Formal education is often formally divided into

phases, such as kindergarten or pre-school, primary education, secondary education, and then college, university, or apprenticeship. In most regions, education is compulsory until a certain age.

Education consists of learning specific skills as well as something less tangible but deeper: giving knowledge, positive judgment, and well-developed wisdom. Education has one of the basic aspects of passing culture from generation to generation. But, it is more of a formal process of education and learning that takes place around the school.

International education can be seen as developing international-mindedness, or enhancing international attitudes and awareness. From an ideological perspective, international education focuses on moral development, by influencing the creation of “positive attitudes towards peace, international understanding and responsible world citizenship”.

globalization. For instance, there are increasing demands for education qualifications to be transferable between schools and education systems. Furthermore, there is a “spread of global quality standards through quality assurances procedures such as accreditation”.

In our edition of Top International Schools In Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, on the cover Page, we have Ms. Priti Agarwal, CEO & Founder of Billabong High International School.

Students must be taught well from their early stage of learning. Creating a generation of well-rounded individuals is the motto of Billabong International.

SwiftNLift is not just a magazine. We aim to cover all other topics which account for the betterment of our society. We always try to come up with articles covering the latest trends and essential subjects. We as a team have worked hard for our readers and introduced to you this edition. I hope you enjoy reading this piece of our efforts!

What is the best age to learn?

C

hildren’s brains develop rapidly during what is called the critical period. The first occurs around the age of 2 years, the second during adolescence.

While at this age, the number of connections (synapses) between brain cells (neurons) double up. Two-year-olds have twice as many synapses as adults. Because these connections between brain cells are where learning occurs, twice as many synapses enable the brain to learn faster than at any other time in life. Therefore, children’s experiences at this stage have a lasting impact on their development.

our gray cells can no longer learn new things, but that we rely on a set number of neuro pathways to carry out our thinking. In other words, we get stuck in a mind rut. However, it is possible to break free and become a new learner and hobbies can help. For example, a study focused on 200 older adults found that learning a mentally challenging skill can improve memory. In this case, people took up hobbies such as photography and quilting, which required them to perform cognitively demanding and complex tasks.

Hobbies can often make you a more valuable employee.

Another study suggested that people who spend time on hobbies perform better at work. They are more likely to come up with creative solutions to problems at work and are more likely to help their co-workers.

This first critical period of brain development begins around age 2 and ends around age 7. It provides a prime opportunity to lay the foundation of holistic education for the children. Four ways to maximize this critical period include encouraging a love of learning, focusing on breadth rather than depth, focusing on emotional intelligence, and not treating young children’s education We can make our brain younger: as mere precursors to “real” learning is included.

We conclude that children learn at a faster rate because By the age of 25 our brain becomes “lazy”. It is not that of the moldable nature of their brains. The good news is 22

CITY INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL An international school is an enriching experience for students. This can be especially valuable for those in high school who are determining who they want to be as they enter adulthood, what kind of careers they want to pursue, and what careers they want to pursue in the future. Having an international influence during this time can give students a global perspective as they explore diverse cultures and open doors to a range of new options. However, attending a school with a global focus may not be the only factor in helping students expand their international perspective.

What did covid-19 pandemic give to the education system?

S

ince its outbreak in late December 2019, COVID-19 has devastated the world, and education, like any vital sector, colleges, and universities. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), more than 800 million learners around the world are affected, 1 in 5 cannot attend school, 1 in 4 cannot attend higher education classes, and more than 102 countries have ordered. Nationwide school closures while 11 have enforced localized school shutdowns.

When schools across India closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, an NGO turned disaster into an opportunity. Based in Chennai, the southern capital of the state of Tamil Nadu, the Nalandave Foundation envisions that thousands of school-going children, trapped at home for an uncertain and unpredictable future, will begin to feel anxious and restless. This in 30

turn will affect their mental health.

Future of Education

The concept of traditional education has evolved as the years have gone by. The rise of the Internet and new technologies has eradicated the need to be physically present in the classroom. Nowadays, you have access to quality education as long as you can get online, whenever and wherever you want.

Online education is a tool that allows you to study or teach from anywhere in the world. This eliminates the need to commute from place to place or follow a rigid schedule. It allows you not only to save time but also save money, which can be spent on other priorities.

Virtual Classroom enables you to attend classes from anywhere with an Internet connection, and traveling is a great way to take advantage of it. For example, online APRIL 2022

education is a great option when you are studying abroad or engaged in a job. The idea to miss work or studying while exploring new and exciting places is ancient now.

There are so many reasons to choose online education, and 90 percent of students today think that online learning is the same or better than the traditional classroom experience. Each student must assess their unique situation and plan according to their needs and goals, and while this alternative to traditional education is not for everyone, it is still one with almost endless options for international students around the world. convenient option.

COVID-19 Pushed Transformation

Forward

Digital

The COVID-19 pandemic ushered in a massive, sudden, and dramatic digital transformation in society.

The pandemic forced us to take an extraordinary digital leap in our everyday lives and practices, including our children and their education. In a jiffy, his education changed from traditional classroom practice to a remote, digitized one. Suddenly, an entire generation of kids had to start managing and mastering digital tools to attend their mandatory basic education. This required significant adjustment not only from the children and their teachers but also from their families, school administration, and society as a whole. Teachers and schools had to lead this sudden, unexpected digital transformation of children’s basic education, without being fully prepared for it.

APRIL 2022

SwiftNLift

Even though digitization in education has already been a hot topic for ages within a variety of disciplines and digital tools are already being used extensively in schools, teachers, schools and educational administration must be recognized as leaders in digital transformation and change. are poorly designed to act as agents, i.e. in situations in which “digital technologies are likely to trigger strategic responses from organizations create disruptions that seek to alter their value creation path while managing structural changes and organizational constraints that affect the positive and negative outcomes of this process”, especially when it is all so fast.

Happened at speed, intrigued everyone, and covered all educational levels. A great burden was also placed on children and their families, who suddenly had a wide variety of skills, competencies, and resources.

Conclusion

The lesson learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that teachers and students/learners should be oriented on the use of various online educational tools. When normal classes resume after the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and learners should be encouraged to continue using such online tools to enhance teaching and learning.
