I am here today to share my views on the topic 'The Present Education System`. Education means to learn, to question, to understand and to apply. It means to gain knowledge. This definition is being interpreted differently by different schools. Along with academics, the students are also taught other activities like drawing, music, abacus, skating, yoga, etc. It’s good that children are being exposed to different activities. But we must realise that children cannot learn everything perfectly. Over ambitious parents and schools are causing undue pressure on children. The mad craze for marks and ranks is also going overboard. Students are being kept in school for 10 - 12 hours a day. They are being made to learn by rote. Teaching is totally exam oriented. True learning is not happening. Students are studying only to get marks. Therefore, it is high time we think about the way we teach, the way children learn and the way our exams are conducted Thank you 110

Delivering the key note address at the fourth Vasudeva V. Sinai Dempo memorial lecture on ‘Restoring respect for nature in economic development’, Panchauri pointed to the flash floods in Canacona in 2009 as an implication of climate change. Goa is sensitive to sea level rise, one doesn’t have to wait for total submergence to realize gravity of the situation. Ground water contamination by salt water intrusion in Goa can be one of the dangers in the state,” said Panchuari. He stressed that Goa should start a model to sustain its ecology. “Goa is a fragile coastal state subject to tourism, mining, shipping which leads to negative externalities and has its tangible and visible results. Even a small hotel has its impact on a large scale and is not just confined to the area at which it is situated. For this zoning loss must be enforced strictly,” he said. He suggested that consumption of water be regulated, buildings be given permission only if solar water heaters are installed and building materials are energy intensive. “Spread the message of climate change through school children,” he said.
