Transferable Skill Development

 What is Transferable Skill?

It simply means skills which we learn (from
school/college/university/by other modes) to our occupation in the post-study
life. Transferable Skills are so important now than ever before. Simply because
jobs will be far less common, and there will be fierce competition amongst the
new young cohorts (who are in the age group of 10 to 20 years). We invest about
15 to 18 years of life in learning and studying. The knowledge and skills we acquire
are so important for the balance of 50~60 years of life, including the work-life.
 
Examinations are away showing the Comparison:

The moment we are born we are subjected to
comparison. And this will continue even after our death. Unfortunately,
currently, our children at school/high school are learning subjects, which they
need to study to pass through the various examinations in their academic year.
These examinations are conceptually meant for
filtering the children as per their capacity of how much they have learned,
retained, and reproduced on the examination day. In other words, examinations
are the process of comparing one student with respect to the rest of the
class/school/state/board/country.
 
Life is an Examination Daily post the student life:

Post the studies, every day of life is an
examination, we will be compared to the rest in our family, profession,
society, and so on. We need to sanitize this concept to our children and
students in schools and colleges. Most of the days, we will be faced with situations,
& people, which we have not dealt with earlier. So, in those situations,
only the best possible skills aligned with our individualities will only help.
 
Current Education System what we can do?

Since we are right now in a particular system of
education and evaluation, the process of learning and the process of undergoing
the examination (for the purpose of knowing one's comparative position
vis-à-vis the rest). The new education policy is a step in the right direction
but may take a few years before its effect is felt across the larger population
of India. We can not change the system but adapt innovative ways to enhance the
skills of our children and students by focusing on Skill Development aligned to
the probable profession in the future. The more we encourage our children
parallelly learn any skill which can be transferred to their future
professions. Those learned skills will help them face the daily examination of
post-study life.
