Let's make schooling enjoyable

For many children, schools are not enjoyable. Many parents often find it difficult to send their toddlers to schools as most of these institutions do not have any playgrounds or any sports materials. With this, heavy schoolbag with loads of books causes them severe back pain. Long syllabus is also stressful for them. Learning has become burdensome and should be made enjoyable.
Students are no longer able to cope with the present day schooling. There is an urgent need to reduce the standards and syllabus. We may engage the students in activities such as bird watching, bee keeping, book publishing, baking, radio broadcasting, photography, artificial intelligence, first aid, trekking, visits to factories, dancing, singing, etc and ask the students to opt for a few they are interested in. Let us not make them bookworms only.
