ABSTRACT | ||
Despite having the exposures of mobile, internet, technological knowhow and trendy cloths speaking own minds in front of society which is socio-economically different from them remains an issue for children of remote Sundarbans. Their academic knowledge as it emerges from the copies, lessons is not extremely poor rather pretty decent not only interms of marks obtained in assessment papers, exam sheets but in their day to day class room performances as well. Despite repeated requests from survey team to the students of secondary sections in select schools of both Patharpratima block in Indian Sundarbans to open up on their dreams, aims, likes, other than one or two students as a whole do not express themselves much. However, considering the background, their ability in solving curricula related queries one can’t help but be hopeful that if explored the relevant ways and oriented with empathy the teachers can actually prepare children to be assets for the society. Key Words: Remote areas, Sundarbans, Responses, Participation |
