Enhancing student success in education- A strategic approach

Abstract

Educational institutions today are repeatedly found struggling with the issues of performance gaps in classrooms, low student retention & and student success rates, lack of motivation in students, etc. A deep reflection by the educationists has led us all to infer that if a firm foundation is provided to students at all the major transformation levels, like preprimary to primary, primary to middle, middle to secondary or secondary to Senior secondary, and then to university, it would certainly have a positive impact on student development. The goal of student success is deeply studied by many academicians and the struggle to find the right answer continues. It is crucial that schools of this millennium respect competency & and outcome-based education for future readiness, and incorporate them into their entire ecosystem, right from students to teachers, parents, school management, and the community. The school leaders could re-orient themselves using technology to integrate learnings of head, heart, and hand, to impart life skills. The paper throws light on how the curriculum transaction, teacher motivation, and guided pathways can lead to a successful career path for children.
