Self study – a difficult but essential skill


The present education system fully relies on mass spoon feeding concept which helps students to grasp the subject details without any efforts and accelerates their learning speed. However, there are many drawbacks in the system.  Most important is the loss of confidence in learning from books and internet.

There are plenty of resources for learning with latest changes in concepts and technology and students should be trained to study in solo. There may be initial hurdles like lack of patience and hard work, frustration due to failure in grasping the content, ignorance about problem solving resources and links,. But once, we overcome these hurdles, we can learn any subject at our own pace and convenience.
The first thing that we have to do is to minimize the mass communication channels like newspaper, TV and mobile. They are time killers and make you customers. Use notebook or laptop and start studying through books and net resources. You will have additional advantage of recording and saving the work and documents, doing your own quest and trials and create new content.
Corona lockdown should be used to make this transformation in mindset of all to become self relient like Ekalavya in learning.
