RE: Education Systems in Developing Countries Need An Upgrade
Thank You very mush @carbernet to posting about education system in Nepal. As I am still a student here I know the condition is still the same except for some facts that information technology is slowly being adopted. But the main drawback of our education system is same as you mentioned that we won't be able to show our creativity.
We need to change and I think we will because our new generation is smarter because we are the ones who are in touch with the technological world and we are know many things about western education system.
As per library and Physical education classes I got the chance because I study in one of the best school in Nepal. (Gandaki Boarding School) and I know I am the very few lucky student from Nepal.
Thanks for the insight @teamnepal! It's nice to hear young minds are making an effort to bring about a change.
I'm sure schools have adapted extra curriculars more now but I think the stigma that only science and engineering is respectable will take a while to go away.
This is what is letting us behind. But I think eventually everything will change. As for the curriculum of the course it is really bad as we have everything to rot. Teacher teaches us that. Teacher makes interesting Physics and Astronomy science boring because it is what they have to teach because of the course. We are all exam based.
@teamnepal I hope that you and other students in your generation are better able to explore your creativity with technology. I hope also that you and your generation will use your knowledge about global education systems to challenge your current education system and propose change. Research into child development, as well as observation of the adults that grow from the children, demonstrates that young people that enter adult society unprepared become overwhelmed, leading to a decline mental and physical well-being.
Steal the topics that the teachers make boring back from them...physics is the best for cool experiments you can make with household objects. The desire to learn for yourself is something that will help keep you out of the "old ways of thinking" :)
Personally Physics is my best subject but the course is so lame and the most cool part is astrophysics for me but our course have only a tiny lesson for astrophysics and most of the time teacher skips that. I know I am in one of the best school here which is trying to make the use of Information Technology and we have projector and speakers in the classroom which is very very rare here. But most of the teacher don't know to make a proper use of it and just show powerpoint slides making it more lame because they don't use pictures and videos.
Thank You very much for your best wishes. We will work for it !
Ooh astrophysics is super cool.
I did a quick search and found a free online introductory astrophysics course (please don't be offended if I have underappreciated your current level of study) that seems to have been created by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, a university in Switzerland that appears to be in good standing from a very cursory review. These types of open courses are becoming more and more available in many subjects and difficulty levels, in particular in STEM areas of study. Keep learning! :)
Thank You very much for giving me the link ! I am just an high school student this is good for my level.
If you know someone to offer financial support then please help me. Education quality in Nepal is poor and going to foreign country is expensive and beyond our limit without scholarships !
Hmm, scholarships are available for many reasons, perhaps it would be more direct for your personal research, since you know about your personal strengths better than I do(I'd just search "rockstar astrophysicist scholarships" anyway haha).
But the link was one of multiple courses I found from a quick internet search, they may have specific topics you want more information on, too!
