The Finest Wonder of the World

Do you know what according to Sir Einstein the greatest wonder of the world was? It was, as he said and we quote, “Education is one of the finest wonders of this world, where everyone has access to everything and which makes no one big nor no one small.” Well, taking into consideration Sir Einstein’s perception about education, we will take a look into how far have we developed and how far we need to develop in this wondrous sector called - Education.
Starting with something like Structure. Rewind back to the time when teachers used to teach the students under the shade of a tree. Peaceful and mindful. Times evolved and there came infrastructures. Furnished and well-developed buildings came into existence. Teachers and students began to work in force inside a four-walled room. Class concentration and participation gained roots. The only thing that the students might not have liked about this development, may be the “No bunking class” rule! But that, in fact, worked to gained attention of the students towards education. With this also came the participation of the students in the extracurricular activities. Students grew up skilful, talented and courageous. Structural development paved ways for further advancement in education. Days passed and there came boards. SSC, CBSE, ICSE. Now this began a newer competition. Which is the best? Well, the answer is any place where the child learns is the best!! May it be SSC, or CBSE or ICSE, the instrumental thing to consider in point of education is how the child learns. Take for example SMES School, Mahim. Here the child is not taught to pass the examinations, here a Child is taught to learn things. At SMES, a child is moulded into a learner by making him capable of understanding the fundamentals of the education. At SMES, the student is not trained, but he is rather taught. Teaching is not training. Teaching is something that influence students to aspire great and SMES attends this requirement very closely. Being a CBSE school, SMES provides students with best facilities and focuses on the overall development of students. With the passing time, education is becoming more and more important element of life. With the growing demand for higher education and facilities, CBSE schools are growing at the fastest rate, considering the number of schools and demand from the parents.

While Education, as said by Sir Einstein, makes everything avail to everyone, it also works for the betterment of the society. By imbibing knowledge that is applied throughout the boundaries of the society expanding in the areas of science, arts, environment and every other important division, Education develops an individual and the society together. Truly Education is the finest wonder of the world.

Learn. Grow and Enjoy

Much has been changed from the date when the first school came into existence. How good were those days when students were taught seating under the shed of the tree. Nothing would disturb their minds but the beauty of the nature, that would make them more concentrated and path oriented. The sound of the birds chirping and the noise of the wind playing with the trees, all meant everything was there. Slowly and gradually time changed and so changed the structure of the school. It became an institution. Moreover it evolved from junior school to senior and higher grade schools. Beauty of the nature slowly and slowly became invisible and so became numb inside the four walls. Students inside these four walls were taught to learn discipline, principles and morals but all of which became the artificial teachings and hence resulted into forced teaching. For years now, schools have been practicing the same old style of teaching wherein the lessons are only meant to pass examinations. But i...

The Limits of Incorporating Technology in Education

Education without a doubt holds a very important place in our lives. It is no longer just a medium to earn a qualification. It is a tool of survival in a world faster and more competitive than ever. So in this fast paced world, we should be capable of learning a lot in very less time. At SMES School, Mahim we accomplish this need with the help of technology which makes us the best CBSE school with modern education. But, is technology the ultimate tool to educate our children? Can we completely rely on technology for their all round development? “Stick to the basics” might be a very clichéd line, but has an undeniable importance.  At SMES School Mahim, we strike a perfect balance between technology and traditional methods of education to make us one of the top CBSE schools in Mumbai . A balance is rather necessary. Like fire and water, technology is a good servant, but a bad master. Let’s try to understand the reason why we don’t want to forsake the orthodox methods of educat...
