MALNUTRITION DURING SCHOOLING,INDIGESTION AND DIARRHOEA DURING HIGHER STUDIES


Our education provides only very light food for the school students upto 10th std.Most of the stuff are like much diluted milk that contains nothing much for absorption. eg. history,geography,civics..how many learn lessons out of these?Rice,wheat,Dal(science,social science,languages) etc.. are being given in small doses.Though a lot of quality foods and medicines are available in the market,our educational doctors still prefer antacids and vicks tablets for decades now(small elements of modern subjects) For physical fitness,we conduct monthly or annual competitions,just like conducting urine and blood tests for health.Is there any continous or regular programmes for fitness in school life?

During plus one and plus two the whole situation change.Suddenly the students are given rich food like' rotti made of maida',pure ghee and pure milk.(modern subjects)Most of the rottis are not even cooked properly as our teachers in plus one and plus two are managing cooking somehow.Most of the students fall ill due to indigestion,dysentry or diarrhoea.A few survive because of external support-Tuitions

After 12th comes the ladder test.(Entrance tests)For some there are two ladder tests.For the professional course one should be properly trained to climb up the ladders.Most of them fall down along with the ladder.Some go for one year ladder training (coaching) and climb up successfully!

The problem lies with the' doctors'-educational experts who prescribe food and medicine.The students should be given food of all kinds( syllabus)from L.K.G to tenth std.in proper quantities(eg. elements of science and tech,engineering,medicine,economics,social science,management,health and hygiene,banking, business etc..)Such an education system will facilitate smooth transition in their studies,which will not create any stomach troubles and thereby a better health to our educational system...
