Name: Ankur Country: India Comment: It is excilent idea to lern more& Indepedent himself. Name: sandi Country: U.A.E. Comment: My sentiments exactly! I am a Financial Planner and have a column on personal finance in the 'Emirates Today'I have discussed this issue many times. Majority of parents are focussed on better grades at the expense of personality development. Most of our Indian kids are lacking in communication skills, shouldering resosbility and prioritising. Experience is one of the best teachers and summer jobs is one of the solutions! Name: Experienced Country: Austria Comment: I think schools should at the end of the year in some higher secondary grade offer a week of work experience for children . They should be responsible for liasing with the indtutions that they wish to or would be interested to work in and spend a week working there and be involved in whatever possible evemnts that the orgonixation can offer. This not only gives them an insight into the workforce but also lets them chhose a career path they'd be interested in in the future . I strongly encourage all schools and teachers to advocate and put into practice such a programme and comment on the results of it. Students should be allowed to feedback amd reflect on the prohramme its pros and cons and the learning and benifits that it has provided them with. Name: XYZ Country: usa Comment: Most often than not what happens in India is that the child is sent to tutorials to gear him towards the next class. The competition is so immense that, it's the survival of the fittest. So working part time is not an option for Indian kids. They are sent to tutorials and coaching institutes in order to get admission into good colleges or in case of younger kids, the parents expect their children to be ahead of the rest of the class. Secondly there still needs to be a recognition of dignity of labor in India. I'm not sure how many parents would like their children to work in a post office or a departmental store. Thirdly, there may not be secured envirnment for the kids especially in small as shops or stores. The kids are not given an opportunioty to work in bigger establishments due to lack of experience or age.

Name: DB Country: aahrain Comment: This topic can't be left at just by saying "Good Idea" & "school-college should encourage it", etc. The shops, business owners should be willing to give a chance to the youngsters.In India, there are companies who give oppurtunities. We have to encourage our children to take up small jobs during summer holidays. Name: Sujatha Sivasankar Country: oman Comment: Good article.
