They should not smile or tease if they come across anyone with such tendency.He quoted stories from Ramayana and Mahabharata mentioning the respect and importance given to women in our ancient society. He told students that as society developed gender discrimination began. It started from home by difference between the treatment of sons and daughter and then social evils like sati, purdah system and child marriage further contributed to it.Children were told that all these things reflected poorly on our society. To be adeveloped strong society we should accept and respect women. Their contributionto our homes and society will make our nation and strong and progressive country.He mentioned about Nirbhaya case and Hyderabad case.

GENDER SENSITIZATION

Women and men are often restricted to particular roles in our society depending on the gender. It is high time we create awareness among school children especially boys about gender sensitization to tackle beliefs which pertain to gender bias.We at East Point School believe that education and schooling is a process through which society builds the kind of individuals we wish to see in the world. Therefore,it is imperative that we lay strong emphasis on inculcating values of equality among our children.Upholding this ideology and to help our children understand the need for gender equality; our school organized a workshop on gender sensitization for classes V-VII on 19 February 2020. The workshop was a Delhi Police initiative, organized by Gallant Foundation. The resource person explained the difference between the words ‘sex’ and ‘gender’. He said that while ‘sex’ is something we acquire at birth,‘gender’ is what society bestows upon us. We need to build a gender-sensitive and gender-equitable society. To build a strong society, the man and woman, both have to complement each other. Both have some strengths and weaknesses and to understand the same, Gender Sensitization comes in picture. This sensitivity to understand the qualities or weakness of other gender and to respect it, bring best out of the person to build a strong society, work place and nation.Attitude formation among adolescents is crucial since they are still at an age where attitudes are malleable. Students listened to the speaker with rapt attention, which put their sensitivity and genuine seriousness for the issue on display.  We at School believe that archaic beliefs can certainly be reformed using such sessions.

- Digital transformation is the next industrial revolution. The gap between the physical and digital images is blurring day by day. The old methods cannot be solely continued nowadays
- The whole world is changing and in this world, CLOUD and BIG DATA are the latest terms in use. These relate to infinite storage space fulfilling the need of the time
- The use of technology has made things/ issues more transparent and simpler than before. One example is Demonetization whereby people were asked to go online for financial transactions in order to bring transparency in their records
- Today there is a ‘Skill Gap’ of about 70-72% in India and China where people have the job but not the skill apt for it
- 5Cs are the most prominently talked about terms these days:
1.      Creativity & Imagination
2.      Critical Thinking
3.      Communication & Leadership
4.      Citizenship
5.      Collaboration & Digital Literacy
- Among these the Digital Literacy is a Fluid Skill which flows from one learner to the other smoothly.
