Srinagar: Mathematics has always been a critical subject in our education system and it is an essential component of student learning.Mathematics is an integral part of our daily lives and it is pertinent to problem-solving, quantitative reasoning, and decision-making. However,teaching mathematics remains a big challenge in schools today and there are various reasons behind it.
One of the primary reasons that make teaching mathematics a big challenge in schools is the lack of competent and effective teachers. Although there are many teachers trained to be math instructors,not all of them possess the skills and expertise to deliver effective math lessons.Some teachers themselves find mathematics very challenging and feel uncomfortable teaching math concepts and problems to their students.
Another significant challenge is inadequate instructional materials and resources.There are often not enough textbooks,worked examples and practice materials for mathematics in most schools to help students understand the concepts. The lack of practical materials for students to work with means that they cannot develop their problem-solving and analytical skills fully.
Moreover,the difficulty level of mathematics is another obstacle in teaching mathematics. Mathematics is a subject that requires critical thinking,logical reasoning and continuous practice to understand better. Unfortunately,some students struggle with grasping the basic concepts and applying them to solve problems. This issue is compounded by the fact that in the traditional approach,the subject was taught as a series of rules and procedures, with little emphasis placed on visual representations and real-world applications.
Furthermore,the teaching of mathematics is also influenced by student’s attitudes and cultural background.Some students may have a preconceived idea that mathematics is a difficult subject and that they are not capable of learning it. This kind of negative attitude can result in a lack of interest in the subject,leading to disengagement from class and poor performance.
In conclusion,the teaching of mathematics remains a big challenge in schools,even in today’s era of advanced technology and pedagogy.The factors that contribute to this problem include the lack of qualified teachers, inadequate teaching resources,the difficulty level of mathematical concepts and the students attitude towards the subject.To overcome these challenges,a collaborative effort must be implemented among teachers,students and policymakers to develop effective teaching methodologies and provide the necessary resources to make mathematics education accessible and enjoyable for everyone.By doing so, we can inspire a love for mathematics and equip young minds for a better future.
Anantnag: Drug use and addiction have become a growing problem in many countries around the world. The use of drugs not only contributes to serious health problems but also has negative social and economic consequences. Addiction to drugs has become a major issue that affects individuals, families, and communities.
The root cause of this growing drug menace is the accessibility and availability of both illegal and prescription drugs. The use of drugs has been popularized by modern culture, the media, and the entertainment industry. Drug addiction is also often fueled by stress, mental health issues, and a lack of proper support and guidance.
The increase in drug use often leads to criminal activities such as theft, money laundering, drug trafficking, and violence. The negative social consequences include poverty, family breakdown, child neglect, and a rise in homelessness.
The most commonly used illegal drugs include heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine. These drugs are highly addictive and can lead to major health problems, such as heart disease, liver damage, and depression.
Prescription drug addiction is also a growing problem. Prescription drugs are often prescribed for legitimate medical reasons, but they can be abused when taken beyond the recommended dosage. The most commonly abused prescription drugs include opioids, tranquilizers, and stimulants.
To tackle the growing drug menace, it is essential to educate people about the dangers of drug use and addiction. Governments and non-governmental organizations need to make treatment facilities and therapy programs available for drug users to help them overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.
It is also necessary to address the root cause of drug addiction by promoting mental health support, stress management techniques, and providing individuals with safe and healthy alternatives to drug use.
In conclusion, the growing drug menace is a major problem that affects individuals, families, and communities around the world. It is crucial to address this problem by educating and supporting individuals, and providing appropriate treatment and therapy programs to help them overcome addiction and rebuild their lives.

Hello everyone I am Bilal Mohiuddin Bhat, I am from Srinagar J&K, I am a veterinary science graduate.
