The Future of Education - By Pranav Acharya C, Grade 9A

The world we live in today stands as a perfect example of how we humans wander aimlessly in the uncertainty of time. Yet again, nature has shown how it can flip the tables in a jiffy, affecting everything, including education. This could be the most confusing time for students.

Day by day, the darkness of uncertainty starts to close in on you. Buses stop coming, and the chances of meeting your friends after summer start to fade. The days that started by getting ready for school, now start by switching on a big black ugly screen every morning. Schools and playgrounds stand silent and lifelessly accumulate dust as the days move on. Ironically the same device used for games and YouTube is now, being used to attend school. Minutes feel like years and your future seems to be a fathomless dark hole that Alice had once fallen into.

But in the end, every dark night needs to end, and we shall learn our lesson. No matter how rich or technologically advanced our lives become, we will always have fragments that link us to nature. The only thing we can do is to respect it. People shall learn not to take health for granted and shall continue to take the precautions they took in during the pandemic. Children shall grow to have more gratitude for what they have and hopefully everything will return to being normal.

Nature has taught us yet again predicting something as uncertain as the future is a waste. Now, the future of education can only be left for time to decide.
