Let’s not overload the Indian school curriculum with causes that are dear to us—it’s heavy enough
At the same time, a school is also expected to develop values and ethical sensibilities, and build capacities like critical thinking and empathy, and then go on to address child safety, road safety, water conservation, environmental awareness, mental health, digital literacy, nutrition and a dozen other things; each of these has its own dedicated pedagogy, each requiring teacher training, each deserving real time and attention. It is not going to work. It cannot work. And we should say so honestly.
