3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #79, 11th January 2022

Learning gap. Learning incline. Learning disparity. These have become the words much thrown around and feared in the world of education during the past couple of years of pandemic. Yes, the schools have been shut. Yes, the children have needed additional home support for learning. Yes, some children have not been able to be with their teachers online because of the digital divide. Yes, some children have faced sickness and death at home. These are all facts. But these are also incidents that have taught each of us – whether student, parent, educator much beyond what we could have learned about life and life-skills during peace times. No? What do you think?

Check out the African proverb in the thoughts for the day section of this issue. Are we more skilled life-sailors with all the turbulence that we have been subjected to in the past couple of years? What has it taught us about priorities? life? learning? and relationships? we are figuring out as we go along… what works best for us, our family, our team, our organisation. Success is contextual. My idea of my success is different from yours. Like wise one student’s success is different from another and is mostly different from what their parent’s idea of success is. Last couple of years, each one has had same yet different context to deal with. We were in the same storm but on different boats…and we all learned. But differently. It was learning nonetheless and big ones at that. Let us take all the things that we have learned to make a new way forward.
