Valuable Lessons about Education
This magnetic Magazine, unique in its features, truly motivates our quest for Light, so that we evolve as effective joyful witnesses in the midst of our challenges to mould the young hearts by being a prophecy of a life lived in sincerity and truthfulness.
Coming to the MAGNET issue on education (June 2019), education is a constant striving to become more effective as a vehicle of transformation in society: Fully Human and fully Alive.
Archbishop Menamparambil, a man of vision, wide experience and intellectual calibre, speaks of the need to train effective leaders. We need to educate people to be a Force for Good in Society by promoting value education.
Sr Marie Gabrielle tells us how “Katy, her colleague, took her teaching profession to heart. “I touch the future: I teach.” She strove to bring the best in the students. “I have no time to lose in gossip.” Katy’s spiritual journey is the way she treats others with respect, and her willingness to move on with forgiveness when hurt. Working with her has been the greatest blessing on the writer’s human and spiritual journey.
Prof Rekha has illustrated well her personal experience of the values of Catholic Education. Yes, education, as all will agree, is different by the quality of the people it moulds. We need to focus on our vision in forming our students into balanced personalities with a sound ethical base and a deep sense of what is right and wrong. We need to have the courage to look into our souls and proclaim to the world: “We made a mistake; we owe you an apology, we are sorry.” This is the power of prayer we carry within, and believe that we make a difference.
Bro Brendan has offered an alternative to the current educational system. He insists that a radical change is imperative.
Sr Marian Mathew has shared the precious lessons she has learnt about education through experiences that touched her heart. Do we as educators live our vision in forming our future citizens? Today we need to look at our educational institutions—what we are meant to do and are actually doing. Teaching academic subjects is not enough. Students need to be formed integrally, and no human formation is complete if students do not learn to do something for others, especially the most needy, so that they can discover horizons of hope and give their contributions to the people around.

Don’t Know Where to Start
After seeing the August issue of MAGNET, I do not know where to start. I go through the feeling of a child who is given many attractive toys at a time.At one glance, I can say that each issue is better than the previous ones. I should not be comparing them at all, because each one is excellent. As always, just by looking at the contents, I am full of enthusiasm and eagerness to read all the
articles (which are most relevant, attractive and of superior quality).
MAGNET has indeed helped in improving the quality of my life too.
Many Congratulations to you and your team.

New Feature on Technology
Thank you for the new feature ‘TecHuMan’ which appeared in the August issue. Its relevant information on the use of emergency calls is commendable. We know to how use smart phones, but we are not SMART enough with the technical use of these gadgets. MAGNET in general is an inspirational monthly.
I look forward to reading TecHuMan-2.
All the best to all the Magnet team.
