Schools stifling creativity: CBSE chief

Ashok Ganguly Chairman of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said ,Most schools stifle the innate creativity of children by putting them through a repetitive and boring schedule. he attributed the reason for children failing in examinations to a faulty educational system. Not all children had left-brain skills. Trained well, those with right-brain skills could excel in their field of activity. A continuous evaluation process was required for the purpose. Compulsion must be replaced by the choice of study.making a presentation on “Key issues in school education,” he said that a principal must become the chief learning officer of the school. One had to be a good learner through life, to lead the school. The focus should not just be on obtaining marks in examinations. Emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being of the child too had to be given importance
