Raising adults with self-integrity- instilling transparency, honesty and sincerity- the basic sense of education

National schools are meant for children of pluralistic background. Hence, protection from Ideological Indoctrination: Parents from diverse bakcground can have peace of mind and do not have to fear that their children may be exposed to ideological indoctrination in national schools, which could conflict with their own cultural and religious beliefs. Concerns about covert conversions and brainwashing at school assemblies highlight the need for an educational environment that respects and upholds the diversity of beliefs, ensuring that all children are not educated in a manner in conflict with their family’s belief systems.

We must demand for the new blueprint to be designed to encourage children to grow up as independent thinkers via a thoughtful approach that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of autonomy.

Do's and Don'ts for educators to groom independent thinking individuals:

To Promote Curiosity and Questioning:

- Let children ask questions about everything. Respond with openness and curiosity rather than immediate answers. Help them explore possible answers themselves.
- Show how to ask thoughtful questions. Instead of giving direct answers, model how to explore different perspectives and evidence.

To Teach Critical Thinking
- Teach children how to assess information critically. Show them how to identify biases, evaluate sources, and consider different viewpoints.
- Introduce basic principles of logic and reasoning. Encourage them to understand cause and effect, recognize fallacies, and think through consequences.

To Provide Diverse Perspectives
- Expose children to a variety of perspectives on different topics, including culture, religion, and politics. Let them see that there are multiple ways to view the world.
- Create a safe environment for respectful debate and discussion. Let children practice defending their ideas and listening to others.

To Foster Independence
- Give children opportunities to make decisions on their own, even if it’s in small, age-appropriate ways. This builds confidence in their judgment.
- Encourage them to explore interests and passions without imposing predetermined paths or expectations.

To teach Emotional Intelligence
- Help children recognize their own emotions and understand how they influence their thinking. Teach them to separate emotions from logical reasoning.
- Encourage them to consider the feelings and perspectives of others, which helps in understanding and respecting differing viewpoints.

To Encourage Open-Mindedness
- Refrain from presenting any belief or idea as the absolute truth. Encourage a mindset that is open to change and new information.
- Teach children to question their own assumptions and the assumptions of others, fostering a mindset that is adaptable and open.

To Promote Intellectual Humility
- Show that it’s okay not to have all the answers and that uncertainty is a part of the learning process.
- Emphasize the importance of continuous learning and revising opinions in light of new evidence.

To Create a Safe Space for Mistakes
- Encourage children to see mistakes as learning opportunities rather than something to be feared or avoided.
- Help them reflect on what went wrong and how they can improve, fostering a growth mindset.

To Limit External Influences
- Teach children how to critically evaluate media, advertising, and social media. Show them how these sources can influence opinions and behavior.
- Be mindful of the types of content they are exposed to, and ensure it aligns with the values of open-mindedness and critical thinking.

To Be a Role Model
- Demonstrate independent thinking in your own life. Show how you question, evaluate, and revise your own beliefs.
- Show respect for their growing autonomy, allowing them to come to their conclusions, even if they differ from your own.

By fostering these qualities and practices, children can develop into adults who think independently, critically evaluate information, and make informed decisions without being swayed by indoctrination.

No point banging your head on a WALL of restrictive and regressive system.
Find alternate way. Don't discount ONLINE EDUCATION. Industry experts and world class educators are available. Design your own syllabus and work towards it. DISCIPLINE and GOAL is important. Higher learning here is a LOAN business.

National Unity Module

Indroduction
Satan works to divide people through politics, religion, or ideology by tapping into the idea that divisiveness is a tool for chaos and discord. Satan is seen as the embodiment of evil, chaos, and deception, working to undermine harmony and unity among people.

1. Division Through Politics:
Politics is a powerful force that can unite people for a common cause, but it can also be manipulated to create divisions. When political ideologies become more about power and control rather than the common good, they can foster an "us vs. them" mentality. Satan, as a symbol of discord, can be seen as exploiting this by encouraging leaders and followers alike to prioritize their own interests and identities over unity and collective well-being. The result is a society fragmented by partisanship, where cooperation and understanding are replaced by conflict and hostility.

2. Division Through Religion:
Religion is meant to be a source of spiritual guidance and community, yet it can also become a tool for division when interpreted or used in a way that excludes or demonizes others. Throughout history, religious differences have been at the root of many conflicts, where people have been pitted against each other based on differing beliefs. In this context, Satan can be viewed as exploiting these differences, twisting religious teachings to promote intolerance and violence, rather than love and understanding. By turning faith into a weapon, Satan effectively divides communities, leading to hatred and war instead of peace and unity.

3. Division Through Ideology:
Ideologies, whether political, economic, or social, provide frameworks for understanding the world. However, when ideologies become rigid and dogmatic, they can lead to the dehumanization of those who think differently. Satan, in this metaphorical sense, works to harden hearts and close minds, making it easier for people to justify discrimination, exclusion, and even violence against those who do not share their views. By fostering an environment where ideology trumps empathy, Satan drives a wedge between people, turning potential allies into enemies.
