Technology and Innovation in Ed
A Snapshot
In a world of shifting paradigm from the teacher as the instructor to the teacher as a
facilitator or coach, this new teacher will provide contextual learning environments
that engage students in collaborative activities that will require communications and
access to information that only technology can provide. With more than half a million
untrained teachers and a country struggling with adult literacy , technology can be
the key lever of change. Technology can also bring in a data driven culture of
measurement and analysis of our education landscape leading to more informed
reforms and policies. With only 16% of Indian schools having computer facilities, are
we on our way to innovate learning practices in our classrooms and bring
effectiveness in the administration of our schools? In bringing this technological
revolution, what role will you play?
Action Ideas
Create an updated online database of schools across India
Technology to promote connectivtity and effectivity of school
systems (school management)
Create a framework for distance learning for teacher training or
student learning exchange
Develop new models of designing relevant, updates curricula,
training material, multimedia resources and new methods of
providing access to teaching aids in an online environment
Broadcast technology which gives wide access to educational content,
such as India's Educast and UK's Teachers TV
Set up virtual learning centers or mobile learning units in rural or
semi urban areas for student outreach

School Leadership
A Snapshot
In a meta analysis of 69 studies of school leadership conducted between 1978 to 2001
involving an estimated 14,000 teachers and 1.4 million children it has been found
that replacing an "average" school leader with an "outstanding" school leader in an
"average" school increases student achievement by 20 percentile points.
School leadership has become a priority in education policy agendas internationally.
It plays a vital role in improving school outcomes by influencing the motivations and
capacities of teachers, as well as the school climate and environment. Effective
school leadership is essential to improve the efficiency and equity of schooling. As
India strives to reform education systems and improve student results, is school
leadership high on our education policy agenda? Unfortunately, the men and women
who run majority of our schools are overburdened, underpaid and near retirement.
And there are few people lining up for their jobs. What leadership roles are most
effective in improving student learning? How to allocate and distribute different
leadership tasks? How to ensure current and future school leaders develop the right
skills for effective leadership? In finding these answers, what role will you play?

a charter school set up, you might expect a pay in the bracket of 40 - 60000 INR. In
municipal schools, you would be paid in tune with the 6th Pay commission

Curriculum
A Snapshot
India's educational challenges have been periodically reviewed by several
commissions and committees. Their deliberations, recommendations and reports
have formed the basis for the 1968 National Policy on Education (NPE) and the
National Policy on Education Resolution of 1986 which includes broad guidelines
regarding content and process of education at different stages. These guidelines are
further elaborated by the National Council of Educational Research and Training
(NCERT). These detailed curricula, syllabi and instructional materials are developed
at the national level.The NCERT has also developed the syllabi and instructional
materials used in the schools run by central organizations. However, the states
consider whether to adopt or adapt the NCERT syllabi and instructional
materials.Thus, the NCERT curriculum framework is always a suggestion rather than
prescriptive and it is not enforceable by law in the states. In our country, 14 states
have so far revised curriculum as per NCF 2005. 10 States do not have their own
curriculum and use those of neighbouring states or NCERT textbooks.

activity based learning

CSR Focus on education
A Snapshot
Things are fast changing in the Corporate Social Responsibility front. In the recent
Draft Corporate Bill proposed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, disclosure of
corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives has been made mandatory for
corporates. While companies will be free to choose their preferred CSR
initiatives,there continues to be a provision that companies with a net worth of Rs
500 crores or more, or a turnover of Rs 1,000 crores or more must spend 2% of the net
profits on CSR, in case they are not able to do so they can take shareholder approval
and list the reasons in their annual report. So a 2% CSR spend will no longer be
compulsory ,only a disclosure is mandatory. While this bill will be taken up by the
Cabinet anytime now, the real opportunity lies in the fact that if every Indian
corporate under the bracket started allocating 2 % of their net profits for CSR, it would
mean Indian companies may collectively spend close to $2 billion a year on CSR
programmes. In advocating and consulting with corporates on how much and where
to spend this huge fund, what role will you play?
Action Ideas
Advocate for greater and sustainable spending on education in
CSR activities.

Assessment
A Snapshot
The basic challenges around maximising learning outcomes are two fold: First, the
lack of clearly defined learning outcomes in our country, and from it follows the
difficulty of measuring it. With the lack of a culture of measurement and analysis of
outcomes, the practice of an evidence based approach to plan, monitor, evaluate or
develop is rare in the Indian education landscape. Pratham's ASER 2010 indicates
that the impact of five years of schooling on children who entered class I in 2005 is
hardly greater than upon children who entered class I in 2001. If anything their ability
to read seems to have dropped a couple of notches over the five-year span. Likewise
the all-India average of children who can do simple math has also declined by a few
percentage points over the past four years. This is an injustice. How do we change
this? What are the pitfalls in our examination systems? How can we create rigorous
assessments that truly test a child's understanding of ideas and concepts? In
maximising learning outcomes at all educational institutes in India, what role will you
play?
Action Ideas
Create skill and knowledge standards across grade levels in state level
and national curricula
Partner with or start an organization that aligns skills with existing
content based curriculum and frameworks
Create a bank of assessments available for teachers that align with
skill sets developed in each grade level

Examination System
A Snapshot
The Indian Examination System is at crossroads of great change. In an effort to give an
academic orientation to all the 41 state and national school boards, the human
resource development (HRD) ministry is planning for major reforms in the school
examination system in the country. According to the latest reports,"the Planning
Commission is at present working on a document with recommendations for
investments to the tune of more than Rs 20,000 crore for the 12th Plan towards
revamp of the school boards. The committee is also expected to recommend
switching over to continuous comprehensive evaluation (CCE) by the state school
boards and greater use of information technology. Although the recommendations
are yet to be submitted, it has been learnt that the committee is focusing on
revamping the school boards, so that instead of remaining as mere exam conducting
bodies, they will also work on design and quality of question papers. The idea is to
infuse an academic approach into preparation of question papers. " In bringing about
these changes in implementation in our system, what role will you play?
Action Ideas
Collaborate and consult with schools/ teachers on effectively
implementing the Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation system

Teacher Training
A Snapshot
Qualified and well trained teachers are an indispensable requirement for an
excellent education system. The impact of teacher actions, positive or negative, on
students' mindsets and consequently actions is unquestionable. The Global Institute
of Teacher's Training says, "The ability to connect and interact with students has
become increasingly difficult for today's teachers. Even the very process of teaching
has changed over the years: while education has traditionally been meant to increase
the students' comprehension of concepts and theories, it has now become more
important to focus on grooming their analytical and application skills. Students must
now not only study and understand concepts, but must go a step further and learn to
analyze and apply them to practical situations. This vocational-centric idea of
education has resulted in an extensive change in the very definition of good
education. With this changing situation, it has become important to provide teachers
with the necessary training to become more effective in imparting knowledge. With
the growing importance of specialization across the world, the need for better-
trained teachers is now being also felt beyond both national and cultural boundaries,
making the well-trained teacher an invaluable product in a highly competitive
world."
Action Ideas
Partner with or start a teacher training institute that accredits teachers
based on outcomes of students
Start dedicated teacher training schools for area-wise clusters(which will
serve the dual purpose of focused, rigorous training as well as bridging
the inequity gap in skills of teachers from high income and low income
groups)
Increased use of technology for training as well as teaching requirements
Creating a framework for distance learning for teacher training
Start an organisation conducting in- service training of teachers and set
them up with professional mentors in their fields of interest
Start teacher training program with an emphasis on inclusive education in
schools ( refer works of Ummeed and Latika Roy Foundation)

Fulton, 1989; Goodlad, 1990; Handler, 1993) state the axiom that teachers
usually teach in the way they were taught. This compelling statement

Access and remediation
A Snapshot
Education is fundamental. It provides individuals with greater choices in life. Just one
extra year of schooling increases an individual's earnings by 10%. A child born to a
mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past age 5.If you are reading this,
thanks to the education that you have had. While we are talking about excellent
education for each child in our country, we must remember 8.1 million children in
India in the age group of 6 - 14 years have never seen a school. Be it unreachable
schools, social exclusion based on gender, poverty, caste, religion or abilities, be it
bad infrastructure or quality of provisions, this is injustice and you can change it. The
Government is working on achieving universal access to education through its
flagship program, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan. How are we ensuring children entering
laterally at their age appropriate grade level are properly remediated? Can the
government do it alone? If not, what role will you play?
