- Why are only some, & not all, students in a classroom bright?
- Why are subjects like Chemistry so frequently considered unpopular?
- Why does the malpractice of rote memorisation still exist in schools?

5. Only Etymology Education
Logophilia Education (estd. 2010) is the first and only Etymology Education organisation in the world. We educate students and teachers through Etymology Education to help them understand, rather than memorise, the English Language.
The Concept
We assert that the most important subject for making students competent is, not Mathematics, but English Vocabulary. Every subject is written in English; every subject (even Mathematics) has its own terminologies. The more words a student knows, the more books she shall feel confident while reading. It is not fair to decide the “aptitude” of a student before enabling a student in Vocabulary. We must know that a student can read effortlessly and confidently before we labelling her as “weak” in a subject. So, in plain terms:
- words are the code in which knowledge is written
- a student with a weak vocabulary = a weak student
- English has (literally) a million non-technical words
- a few hundred roots from Latin & Greek can unlock hundreds of thousands of words
- memory is not a process in education, but a result of education (Read more)
What Can You Do With Logophilia?
We work through three main activities:
