Careers in Education, Training & Library




In the field of Education, career options seems to be limited- if you are a good student, you either end up becoming Professor or Researcher. But in today’s time, there are a plenty of option to choose from this field.


  1. Education specialist - Becoming an education specialist requires investing about 30 semester hours after master’s degree. This enables educationists to have a specific field. They are required to deliver classroom training to provide technical skill training.
  2. Counselor - Big city schools hire counselors to help their students achieve their potentials and decide their career paths. They are also hired by clinics and welfare departments. Counselors are majorly from psychology backgrounds and should have immense emotional strength to handle and solve others problems.
  3. Special education instructor (for special disabled children) – it requires teaching students who have special needs and have to have special teaching techniques to achieve this. It requires attending to individual needs­­­­­­­ of the special children. Special education instructors are employed in special schools.
  4. Speech language pathologist – A master’s degree is what is required to take this field as a career. They are required to diagnose and treat communicative and swallowing disorders. Speech language pathologists are generally employed in schools and clinics.
  5. Library technician – Their duties are to renew, circulate and issue books, record and update the library computers. They are also required to provide assistance to students and teachers alike in locating materials and resources present or not present in library.

People opting for such careers should possess a good personality and the ability of a guide. The individuals in the field of Education, though an age old career option, can never be ignored.

How to decide if Science Stream is good for you after 10th Grade?



Right from 10th grade, pressure starts building up on the student as to which stream is better for higher education. The moment of making a choice comes after 10th grade examinations. This is the ideal time for a student to evaluate his skills and choose the right stream. The three main streams that can be pursued for 12th grade are: 

  • Science
  • Commerce
  • Arts/humanities
Each stream is associated with various subjects. While commerce stream covers subjects such as economics, accounts, organization of commerce and mathematics; science has physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, etc. On the other hand, arts and humanities include history, geography, psychology, sociology, English, and so on.

As per a general trend most students opt for science due to numerous opportunities in the field. Nevertheless, science is a sophisticated and complex field and requires excellent logical reasoning and critical thinking ability. Here are a couple of guidelines that might help you decide if science is the right choice.

  • It basically depends on your preferences. If you are a person who is interested in learning about the secrets behind natural phenomena, science is the right field for you.
  • If you like to troubleshoot, and find solutions to technical problems, science would be interesting for you to study.
  • If you are interested in scientific research in a laboratory setup, the field of science offers you opportunities to conduct experiments in labs and help you grow as a scientist.
  • In case you wish to have more options and opportunities at the end of your 12th grade, science may be a good choice. Students taking science can end up in medical, engineering as well as in research facilities.
Another advantage with choosing science is that students can shift to commerce or arts after 12th grade.

Affordable education options in India




In spite of India’s rich cultural heritage where Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of learning is worshipped, education still remains unaffordable to a majority of the population. Despite having attained independence in 1947, the social gap between the rich and the poor has only widened. Affordable education has remained a dream for most Indians particularly in rural areas. This is indeed a very sad situation even though the Indian constitutional framework regards secondary education a fundamental right.

However, things have been changing and government’s measures to make education affordable are reaping good results. Government schools are revamping their infrastructure and other educational facilities making it under the reach of the poor. Subsidized tuition fee are a part of this plan. Schools run by NGOs have also been providing affordable primary and secondary education to students. On the other hand, central schools affiliated to CBSE have been offering education facilities at relatively low cost. Most of the State-affiliated (SSC) schools also provide education at lower prices compared to their counterparts in ICSE and IGCSE schools.

Though Higher education has become more expensive, there are also affordable options, thanks to education academies that allow students to study at home while pursuing their graduate programs through distance education. As foreign education is getting popular, academies also assist students who wish to join postgraduate programs abroad. Specific packages have been designed for such students to support their accommodation and educational requirements at low prices. On the other hand, major banks in India have been providing education loans at low interest rates so as to promote education and bring it under the reach of the common man.
