“Education is, in a very special way, the concern of the church,” said the Second Vatican Council (GE3) Education, as the formation of the human person , is a universal right; All men and women of every race, condition and age, since they enjoy the dignity of a human being, have an inalienable right to an education that is in keeping with their ultimate goal, their ability, their sex and the culture and tradition of one’s society.
We try to impart holistic education that is the development of the whole person-intellectually, emotionally, physically, socially and spiritually. This is possible only when the approach towards children as individuals with unique needs and talents are recognized and encouraged.
Today the students have an ocean of opportunities before them to develop their talents. Surely the technology emerged as a saviour for many sectors even during the pandemic. The technology help the students to access content, apps, Artificial Intelligence (AI), usage of 5G Technologies are all becoming part of education today.
However, with the increasing reliance on technology, there is growing concern that it may be doing more harm than good, especially for students if we the elders including the teachers and parents do not guide the students or follow up their activities. While technology has the potential to enhance learning, it is also having a negative impact on student's mental health, social skills, and academic performance.
The extensive use of technology among students has been linked to a range of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness. The constant exposure to social media, online gaming, and other digital distractions is creating a generation of students who are addicted to their screens.
' Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self confident and more and more successful.
Therefore, I humbly request parents to spend enough time with your kids.
The phrase "fearing God is the beginning of wisdom" is a biblical proverb from Proverbs 9:10. It means that having a deep and abiding respect for God is the starting point for gaining wisdom and knowledge. Hence teach the students to stand before the Lord as the day begins and ends.
Practice what you preach. Very often we do command our students which we do not practice. Very specially having Face Book, Instagram accounts etc. If you are careful in these things, you can gain your children.
