Further, careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) will remain the easiest gateway to professional success. No child should feel excluded from career opportunities in STEM due to poor academic performance at school. The reality, on the other hand, is that the overwhelming majority of students face a ‘regressive shock’. Students helplessly live in an […]
We are currently transitioning to the fourth industrial revolution driven by the fusion of knowledge and technologies blurring the lines between physical, digital, and biological spheres. The First Industrial Revolution used water and steam power to mechanize production. The Second used electric power to create mass production. The Third used electronics and IT to automate […]
AI today has the potential to revolutionise industry and services in a way that electricity did in the last century. Not to be bogged down by lack of an engineering or an advanced degree, anyone with a firm understanding of math and statistics concepts and with a logical thought process can foray into the realm […]

Schools need a strong vision as much as all other institutions – social, economic or governance! Indeed, the lack of a strong vision for schools is a big part of the current crisis in education. To understand the big difference a vision statement will make to a school, let us see an example of a […]
It makes better sense to discuss this question directly with parents. The discussion that follows could be directly shared with parents, without any need to edit. Would you ever board a flight that promises 99% air safety standards? Would you get operated for knee replacement if the declared success rate of the surgeon is 90%? […]
We wish to approach the discussion on this question by briefly revisiting the need for a new definition. One of the obvious reasons for a re-look at schools is the stress in the school education system; schools as institution are under tremendous stress. Unprecedented stress has crept into the role of every stakeholder in school […]
Most certainly. But we do not have to create good human beings, all of us are born good human beings, in fact we are all born with “all the qualities of head and heart”. Schools may not try to do better than God’s creation – children! Here is a sample of human values children most […]
The primary purpose of maths and science education is the nurturance of logical intelligence (the ability to reason, deduce, infer, critically analyze and be creative). A’100% score in maths and science’ until Class X for every student is a national-community imperative as much as an educational right of every child. A logical bent of mind […]
