Delhi World Public School, Siliguri, redefines education in this region of North Bengal. Till today education is all about mindless cramming and regurgitation of facts and is thus ill suited for the needs of modern society. Shouldn’t education be about holistic exposure to all facets of life rather than a cracking of tests? Shouldn’t education be a force for peace, a means to over coming prejudice ? Multiple studies have shown that personality attributes such as grit, curiosity, and self control are strong predictors of achievement than I.Q. Authors like Paul Tough are of the view that non-cognitive skills like persistence, curiosity, conscientiousness, optimism and self control are more crucial than raw brain power to achieve success. Character, according to this author is created by encountering and overcoming failure.
