Nowadays, it is common to see minors helping the older generation or disabled with the support of the teaching community. In my personal view, this trend can be beneficial as students develop vital attributes such as empathy and kindness. This method should be used in education system in order to provide both support for the elderly and teach the younger generation.
Firstly, this way of teaching can provide school-life balance as students will practice community work away from school. Consequently, this will lead to a far more effective learning environment where children will be able to gain academic success as well as face real-life situations. Namely, children will gain the skills to empathize with facing people, and help them in an appropriate way. In addition, the older generation would also take benefit of this trend, as future individuals helping and socializing with them is undeniably beneficial.
I opine that this system should be applied in every branch of the curriculum, although there are several numbers of communities that deny such decision. Unfortunately, in Azerbaijan there are very few universities and schools which allow students to participate in such philanthropy groups. Nevertheless, volunteers gather and create campaigns for students who want to meet up with and help the disabled or elderly, however this should be provided by the government.
To summarize, I strongly believe that accompanying with older adults and people with disabilities is significantly beneficial if required from the school as a part of a learning system. Furthermore, I would like to observe a dramatic rise of numbers of educators who provide such an advantage.
