With technology evolving so quickly, how do you see the role of school clubs changing from platforms for learning and collaboration to spaces where students can actually build and implement their ideas, and what do you think makes that transition possible?
Ans) Having taught Mathematics for over 35 years and now serving as a Vice Principal, I believe school clubs must evolve from being merely platforms for learning and collaboration into launchpads for innovation, experimentation, and real-world problem-solving.
In a rapidly changing technological world, students should not just learn about technology; they should use it to identify problems, develop solutions, build prototypes, and create something meaningful. Whether it is a Mathematics Club, Robotics Club, Coding Club, or a Computer Club (like Exun in our school), every club should encourage students to move from “What can I learn?” to “What can I create?”
This transition becomes possible when schools provide three essentials: freedom to explore, guidance from mentors, and opportunities to implement ideas. Students must be encouraged to experiment, collaborate across disciplines, learn from failures, and refine their solutions.
Technology provides the tools, but curiosity provides the spark, and perseverance turns ideas into reality.
The true success of a school club is not measured by the activities it conducts, but by the ideas it inspires and the impact its students create.
