Detention: A Failure of the Child or the System? |

Abstract

The essay explores the no-detention policy and its implications in the Indian education system, arguing that poor academic performance stems from systemic flaws rather than individual student failure. Highlighting historical, constitutional, and policy dimensions, it emphasizes the importance of quality teacher training, individualized learning approaches, and addressing systemic shortcomings to ensure effective education. The essay critiques recent policy changes and calls for a shift in focus from punitive measures to holistic educational reform.
