We won 2nd position in Skit and overall 1st position for Springdales School, Dhaula Kuan in Goenkan Literazzi 2022-23 organized by G D Goenka Public School, Sarita Vihar in October 2022.
I played Rohit's (R) character in the skit script below...
M - (Annoyingly) Gosh, busy playing games again. I had warned you not to misuse phone. But no. (Rohit pays no attention) Rohit I’m talking to you. (Shakes him …. takes away phone)
R – Ma please … let me complete my project.
M – On phone? O really! Who are you trying to befool? Alright chuck away all those books, (she starts collecting books in Rohit’s room) forget about academics; forget about being doctor, engineer, CA and game away your time on this damn phone.
R – Ma please hold on. Have you read about NEP 2020? M – Now what is that?
R – Relax Mom, with NEP 2020 …. yah I’ll elaborate later …. Education is going to be fun and worthwhile!! More focus on skill development, skill labs, field trips, hands on training … a-n-d … future ready kids! Fantastic. You know many of my school mates have already started learning carpentry, pottery, and gardening!
M – (Not able to understand) So now you will attend school to become carpenters, electricians, gardeners and potters! I can’t believe this!
R – Ma you are getting it wrong. Academic and vocational streams will be integrated such that we have multiple career opportunities later.
M – But you said that you are doing some project on phone. R – Yes, because I have opted for coding.
M – Coding? Now what is that?
R – Ma, this is 21st century; The era of technology. Through coding I can develop apps, games, build websites or work in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. (Excitedly) Imagine, I can set my own goals and such new heights, like Elon Musk! Isn’t that exciting!
M – It does sound exciting, Rohit
R – So, are you still annoyed that your son is busy on the phone
M – Oh no my sunny boy. Here it is (gives phone to Rohit and Hugs him)
R – Thanks for understanding mom. Now wish me luck for tomorrow's project. And yes, there is homework for you today. No chit chatting on WhatsApp or FB. Surf net and learn more about Reimagining Vocational Education (they both smile)
M – Yes, my budding Elon Musk.
