“Every teacher must aspire to provide the highest level of learning. Many exams in Indian higher education fall under the lowest category in Bloom’s hierarchy: remember and recollect. With the technological revolution, students approaching an exam have easy access to an abundance of information, while surveillance technology struggles to keep pace. The question is not whether technological development is desirable, but how, as a teacher and writer, I am going to grapple with new technology. Do I really rethink the questions I ask in the exam? How can I ask questions that focus on understanding, analysis, evaluation and creativity rather than rote learning? I am incapable of making a definitive judgment. My critical self-examination ends with more questions than answers. Who would help me find answers to seemingly ‘nonsensical’ questions — my old teachers, colleagues, students, parents, employers, the state, or a chatbot?”

“Students are treated as adults when fees, performance, and responsibility are demanded from them, but as children when autonomy, voice, or due process become inconvenient. Harshness is then defended as character-building, and obedience is conflated with ‘respect’. We have built educational experiences around discipline and dizzying hierarchies, where dissent is likely to be labelled as indiscipline, political activism, or disrespect. Distress is then located inside the student, while the university itself appears as a neutral background, but is not. Counselling may help a student respond to these pressures, but it cannot remove them. Time management cannot solve an impossible workload; mindfulness cannot make an opaque grading system transparent; positive thinking cannot make a compromised grievance process trustworthy. Students should be treated as rights-bearing adults and should be made active participants in institutional governance. The harder question is whether universities are willing to examine the conditions they create.”
