Comics and Exams

The last few hours before an examination are intense for both kids and their parents. While parents are busy making sure their kids have revised every bit of their study material, kids are plain bored with the excessive cramming that is happening. They would like to do nothing better than pick up their favourite comic and unwind.

This gets me to think what a great tool the comic book would make at the time of exams. With just a little effort, comic books can be designed innovatively such that they become one of the ways to prepare for exams. The creative content in comic books is said to have better recall value than the conventional text books. Kids are sure to remember chronology, time-lines, name of places, historical characters when presented in the form of graphic books.

Think of young children discussing Science, Geography and maybe even History with the same interest as Superman and Batman, quizzing one another using their Iken Books and acing tests just like that!

Not only can this revolutionize learning methods, but also the process of revision. The otherwise boring question banks that kids usually skip in their text books can be replaced by fun games and tests. Even the last minute revisions seem less stressing.

While recognizing the need to innovate learning, Mexus Education has turned to comic book resources, Iken Books and other comic text books to teach children. A welcome change for teachers, parents and definitely for the students.

From time immemorial, the image of a child hiding his comic inside his text book speaks of his disinterest in studies. But today, the winds of change have come; urging us to open our minds to newer methods of preparing for exams. Kids need no longer hide those comic books for the day has come when parents will be happy to see their kid with comic book in his hand. And as for the kids, they’ve always enjoyed it!

Learn while having fun

What is the one thing that children seek all the time? Every hour and every day? Be it dusk or dawn. Come rain or sun… Undoubtedly, it is Fun. The element of fun is very crucial to a child’s development and learning. In fact, a lot of early learning takes place through sheer play and joy. After all, fun is the most fundamental need and birthright of children - of all ages!

In that case, what a dream it would be for students if they were told that they could actually learn while having fun! How ecstatic would they feel if their learning pattern were to undergo such radical changes so as to facilitate studying without stress? What a delight it would be if the students were offered a simplified learning management system whereby they would not even realize that they are learning and playing together?

Innovation in NCERT curriculum

It is commonly said that ‘Familiarity brings content’! True. But with all due respect to whoever quoted it, this too is also a well-known maxim - ‘If you do not change, you can become extinct’!

Now this can become a debatable situation. On one side, it is easy and convenient to tread on the known path and to swim in safe waters. To continue doing what has been believed and done for even aeons together.
While on the other hand, in order to bring in change, there is always the fear of the unknown, the skepticism of the concealed and the reluctance of getting out of the comfort zone.
Herein lies the difference between complacency and risk-taking. The difference between stagnation and movement.

Mexus Education firmly opines that innovation stems from the necessity to transform. The desire for change, the compulsive rejection of the old and the craving for the new. When there is scope to improve, why tolerate the existing? Why make do with the ordinary when the extraordinary is attainable?

Adopting this philosophy is the cornerstone of Mexus Education and its fundamentals.
And this has led Mexus Education to revolutionise the NCERT curriculum. To present it in a manner which has not only challenged the conventional, but also thrown open a whole new array of learning methods.

What follows is only the outcome of taking the risk, of plunging into unknown waters!
