Policy Sciences in School Education
Policy Sciences in School Education
Literacy certainly includes reading writing & arithmetic skills, but it is something bigger & deeper than the mere mechanical skills of reading & writing. Literacy is a potent form of consciousness, which makes people & human beings free from ignorance, prejudice & exploitation besides enabling them to make choices, to participate & to exercise their rights.
And the right choice here would be the introduction of policy sciences.
Policy sciences would also go to the extent of molding the children- the future citizens for policy making roles. for this purpose, the school education will have to be recast in such a way that it will expose the children to all the social dynamics which would increase their capacity to withstand and handle the social change.This would induce changes in the school curriculum & teaching methods, for instance, a subject like history should illuminate the policy process & policy issues involved in the historic evolution of man. A subject like mathematics should be taught with problem solving approach with more emphasis o the probability theory. New subjects should be included which would highlight explicitly the policy problems & policy analysis.
This way, children coming out of school will definitely find a new reason for living great & it will also lead to increased morale & ethics & finally decreased corruption.
