"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” – Walt Disney
Walt Disney’s quote defines the true essence of what good entrepreneurs do—they don ’t just hold on to an idea, they get the ball rolling.
Our teachers are doing a fantastic job of training students to learn topics that are covered in their textbooks, guiding them morally and making them independent and self-sufficient. They are also often focused on preparing students for the future – to make them strong, confident and sometimes ready for jobs that are not even discovered yet! (It is true that technolo gy is taking over a number of jobs and we cannot predict the jobs that will be availa ble 10 years from now). We are living in a time when students will most likely use their skills to create their own employment. They may not use their skills to join a workforce necessarily. In this case, it is the risk-takers who have a better shot at success. This, in turn, implies that teaching entrepreneurship in schools is imperative and can have far-reaching results in encouraging students with creativity and encourage them to work hard towards a goal. Entrepreneurship education prepares students to identify and address challenges and opportunities.
However, the word “entrepreneurship” can be daunting for a school student. They would wonder how they would learn what entrepreneurship is considering they can barely pronounce the 16-letter word! What we need to teach them is that an entrepreneur is an entity which has the ability to find and act upon opportunities to translate inventions or technology into new products. An entr epreneur becomes successful when he combines skill and innovation. You have had that student in class who is great with technology and designing and creating logos and videos in exchange for money. Today, students own and run YouTube channels which earn them good money. Students often become entrepreneur s without even realizing it! When given the right knowledge and boost, they will be able to take it forward as they become adults.
Omkar Mantri, a grade 8 student at Vibgyor High school, Bangalore, has dropped science and chosen to learn only economics from class 9. He explains why teaching entrepreneurship in schools can be a big boon for students like him. “I would love to understand how an idea can be converted into a business plan. It will be great to get practical information, instead of the excessive amount of theory that we normally have to study. I would love to learn about rules/laws, business models and related subjects in school. It will give us an idea about the perils of getting into business and we can choose our electives accordingly. Also, entrepreneurship must be made an attractive and viable concept, so that students don't rush towards an engineering college or a job in an IT company.”
While the world around us is developing at a fast pace with technology and innovations, education in K-12 needs to move an extra mile to evolve accordingly. Education is the driving force behind e very country’s economy, directly or indirectly. Many schools in India have adapted to technology or are slowly making the change. They are encouraging students to work in groups to solve problems, they are encouraging online learning and they are even attempting to merge art with science to make learning more effective. However, even with all these new techniques, students often fail to perform at jobs because they lack knowledge in entrepreneurship. Thus, entrepreneurship, the capacity to not only start companies but also to think creatively and ambitiously, is very important to be included in the school curriculum.
“Entrepreneurship skills are necessary for the current generation of kids. They need to have negotiation skills right through the early years. They need to build thinking skills and design thinking is the beginning of an entrepreneurial journey. They also need to be risk-taking and they need to develop the ability to forecast. If students are taught these skills at the school level, they can be more planned and ready when they grow up. Most kids don't know that they have an entrepreneurial streak and this can be identified if it is taught in schools,” says Deepali Ghosh, mompreneur and mother to a 10-year old.
Entrepreneurship education empowers students with the skill to think outside the box and nurture unconventional talents and skills. It creates opportunities for all, ensures social justice and instills confidence in students. We often mistake entrepreneurship to be a skill to be imparted in undergrad or post graduation. Why wait till then? Entrepreneurship is a lifelong learning process – it can be taught from elementary school till they become adults. Introducing young kids to entrepreneurship develops their initiative and helps them to be more creative and self-confident in whatever they undertake and to act in a socially responsible way.
According to Dr. Prakash Sai L, Professor, Dept of Management Studies, IIT Madras, “Teaching entrepreneurship in schools is absolutely necessary. Already CBSE has a course called Business Studies in class 10 to introduce basic concepts of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is seen as a particular type of skill that will enable a student to start a firm and ensure business growth. Today, even our society is encouraging student entrepreneurs. We often see young children set up stalls in apartment complexes, trying to sell food. When society is encouraging students to develop entrepreneurial skills, schools need to back them up by giving them the knowledge.”
Entrepreneurship teaches students about money, investing, business strategies, loans, and creating budgets. At the same time, students can learn critical life skills such as problem-solving, brainstorming ideas, taking risks, facing failure and getting up again, setting goals, working together, and feeling comfortable to work individually.
Deepali recalls how she was amazed at her 10-year-old daughter’s idea to sell homemade watermelon juice to tired gym-goers at 10 am during her summer holidays. “She made the juice and sold it at a profit of almost 110 per cent! What she figured was the ability to judge that there is a buyer’s market and she figured the pricing on her own. She even used a USP ensuring that she used organic watermelon and brown sugar (keeping in mind that her target audience are gym goers),” she proudly remembers.
Government initiative
The Delhi AAP government took a step in the right direction by launching the Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum Framework for government schools in February, this year. The Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum Framework was developed by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT).
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had explained that the curriculum would invariably bring about a paradigm shift in the education system in the way students explore and learn and in the manner teachers facilitate and guide these exploratory processes. He also emphasised that an entrepreneurial mindset was required for all professionals to be successful in their career. Success stories of various professionals and public servants testify it.
It will be implemented in all Delhi government schools from classes 11 to 12 and will build awareness and knowledge of various aspects of entrepreneurship among the students. The curriculum is expected to inspire students through various entrepreneurial stories, case studies and many mindfulness activities and approaches. It focus – es on imparting the personality and character traits of successful entrepreneurs other than the business aspects of entrepreneurship. The curriculum is expected to be launched as a pilot project in 15-20 schools in April and will see a full-fledged launch in all government schools in July.
‘School teachers are the most important influencers’ …Says Pradeep Mishra, Founder, Leader to Creator, India's first organisation providing entrepreneurship training to children.
Why do you think entrepreneurship learning should be introduced in schools?
Our entrepreneurship for kids programme intends to make a remarkable impact on various fronts of developing nations like India. The world has migrated to a knowledge-based economy where innovation and entrepreneurial mindset will be a game changer. We cannot push the youth directly into jobs after their attain their degree. My conviction is that an entrepreneurial mindset can only be beautifully crafted at an early age. Children can be exposed to a controlled economic environment so that they understand the world around them and relate to it. They can recognise the problems of people as an opportunity and come up with innovative solutions which are scalable.
Our entrepreneurship programme also helps students unleash their creative potential in a big way. The entrepreneurship programme also focuses on life skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, time management, self awareness and personal brand image. These skills help them excel in any field of their choice. Kids have ideas but giving them a proper ground and skills to make it a functional model is what we do. Studies have shown that 80 per cent of our graduates are not even employable. This is the consequence when we have one size fits all approach in education.
How many schools do you cater to?
In 2017, Leader to Creator has been shortlisted by Economic Times Power of Ideas. I have per – sonally interacted with more than 5,000 students. We have worked with 11 campuses and we are operational in three states with expansion in Nepal.
Our in-house "Train the Trainers" programme is creating a pool of passionate trainers who can operate in different parts of the country. We have identified six more states touch points in Northern and central India, where we will be operational this year. We are also encouraging schools to nominate teachers who are interested in getting trained.
What was your inspiration to start Leader to Creator?
I have seen the pressure of placements and degree completion. I have witnessed the shattered aspirations of students who are not doing the things they wanted because their talent could not be converted into a business model. I worked with a few reputed brands in my career and there the problem was scarcity of talented people. So on one hand, students are looking for jobs but the industry says they are not good enough.
Economics shows that there are too many problems that need to be sorted out in our country. It means that there is a lot of work to be done. At the same time, we have a workforce that is looking for jobs. Do you notice the gap? Our mindset needs to be changed and the necessary skill set needs to be imparted. However, the moment we started teaching entrepreneurship in colleges, it only added on as another subject to pass. Students often asked me “Will this course help me get better placement offers?” Leader to Creator is bridging this gap.
How has the response been from schools?
Majority of schools are now interested in trying new things because they strive to be ahead of the times and they are committed to provide a better future for their students. There are schools where people still think that entrepreneurship is a business study meant for business schools only. We must sensitise education forums about entrepreneurship education as this is happening all across the globe. Awareness is the key.
Is it hard to convince the parents?
Fortunately, in our country, teachers are perceived as the best guide for a student's career and future. Parents trust them and kids listen to them. Leader to Creator is continuously working for awareness programmes in schools. We organise free seminars in schools during PTMs and other fests, but school teachers are the most important influencers.
Introducing entrepreneurship skills in classroom
You don’t even need to introduce the concept of entrepreneurship in a formal way and use business jargon that can seem complicated to your students. Multiple skills that aid entrepreneurship can be developed using activities in the classroom. Some skills that need to be de veloped include:
Communication skills: Communication is key for an entrepreneur and enhancing communication skills in students is something that teachers can work on in schools. Instead of standard class discussions, teachers can give students a chance to practice public speaking. Teachers can make this shift by introducing pop-up debates. With these activities, kids are positively pressurised to speak in front of an audience and they gradually develop the confidence to do it.
Brainstorm ideas: Teachers can set up a box in a class where students can put in their ideas. The box is a good way to encourage students to come forward with their ideas and to pitch them confidently in front of their class. Once all the ideas are in, there can be a brainstorming session where the entire class can discuss the viability of the idea and see if they can be implemented The brainstorming session can improve their critical thinking skill and problem-solving abilities. They can explain how their idea can bring about a change in society. Teach students to think about what’s positive or strong about their work and let them ponder on their weaknesses to find the changes needed to make their product more interesting.
Discuss solutions: Students often complain about facilities or rules that are implemented in the school. Teachers can encourage them to come up with solutions to these problems based on discussions rather than giving them space to complain. This can have positive outcomes. It can improve the relationships among students, improve their self-esteem and encourage problem-solving.
Discuss success stories: Encourage students to research on successful entrepreneurs and their methods and strategies and get them to discuss them in class. Each entrepreneur uses different skills and strategies to make their way to the top. For example, Oprah Winfrey relies on her oration skills and compassion while Steve Job’s quest for innovation and perfection made him reach the top. Such discussions also encourage students to find out what they could have done better to improve their skills.
Learning a business: Students can practice writing interview questions and conduct interviews with entrepreneurs. The information can then be compiled into a directory of the types of goods and services, locations, and hours of the businesses. Students can then discuss the location, advertisement and the products involved in the business.
Encourage imagination: Creativity dwells within imagination. Pass around common objects to students and encourage them to imagine the object in a different outlook. This will help students see the same object through a different perspective.
Organisations Supporting Student Entrepreneurship
In the USA, there are numerous organisations formed that support student entrepreneurs in various capacities.
• Dorm Room Fund: A student-run venture fund backed by First Round Capital
• Entre-Ed: Support for teachers and programme leaders
• The Future Project: Helps high schools provide entrepreneurship programmes
• Junior Achievement: Fostering work-readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills
• Kairos Society: Network for entrepreneurs under 25
• Lean LaunchPad: From Silicon Valley’s Steve Blank
• MIT Launch: High school entrepreneurship programs
• Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE): Preparing young people for business
• National Student Leadership Conference: Conference supporting high school entrepreneurs
• One Stone Solution Lab: Organisations, foundations, businesses and start-ups can engage a team of One Stone students in design thinking a solution, business idea or product.
• Real World Scholars: Works with teachers who use entrepreneurship to engage students in core curriculum
• Roadtrip Nation: Roadtrip offers experiences, interviews and curriculum
In the UK:
• Shell LiveWIRE: Shell LiveWIRE aims to inspire young people to find solutions to energy and resource challenges facing today’s society.
• National Association of College and University Entrepreneurs – A membership charity organisation fostering student entrepreneurship with a focus on supporting the creation of enterprise societies in educational institutions in the UK.
• Santander Universities Enterprise Portal – The portal helps young entrepreneurs win funding for their startups, build their business knowledge and access networking opportunities.
• Tycoon In Schools – Tycoon in Schools gives upcoming entrepreneurs, aged 5-18, a start-up loan between £50 to £1000 to manage a business while at school or college.
In India:
Leader to Creator programme
Started by Pradeep Mishra, the Leader to Creator programme is India’s pioneer academy for entrepreneurship training in schools. Leader to Creator is a group of professional trainers who have scientifically designed curriculum, which is a blend of technical skills, soft skills and life skills to teach entrepreneurship to students. They use the latest technology to interact with participants. They add fun in learning by live projects, camps, smart classes and business games.
Mishra has designed a fun-filled 60- hour course on “Entrepreneurship for Kids”. The idea was recognised by the Economic Times Power of Ideas. The course is now offered in some of the most prominent schools in India.
Awards
Entrepreneurship awards are a good way of encouraging young entrepreneurs to come up with innovative ideas and put them to practice. However, there are not many such awards that encourage school students.
• The Global Student Entrepreneur Award (GSEA): Student entrepreneurs compete through regional competitions to win their shot at going head to head against the best student entrepreneurs in the world at the GSEA. Undergraduate and graduate college/university students who own and operate a business for at least six months are eligible to compete for the $20,000 cash prize.
• The Big Idea (Australia): Coordinated by The Big Issue, The Big Idea is a social enterprise planning competition. Open to undergraduate and postgraduate students of participating Australian universities, applicants are invited to develop a concept and business plan for a brand new social enterprise.
• Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition: The competition is designed for undergraduate, college or polytechnic students across the globe. The idea is that students can display their business skills on a global platform, which will allow them to gain seed funding.
Teaching entrepreneurship skills in school is not merely for helping a student identify his skills or to fulfill the ultimate goal of starting a firm. We need to provide teachers with the appropriate training to impart knowledge to students in a way that they can understand and be involved and interested in. The learning can provide life lessons like perseverance, money management, problem-solving and much more. The classes will enable teachers to identify potential entrepreneurs and give them the support they need to move ahead towards their goal.
Let’s not merely include it in our syllabi as yet another subject. Let’s adopt it in a way that it becomes a life-changing experience for our students, where they learn values and skills that they can use when they become successful adult entrepreneurs!

The Silent Conversations: How Teacher-Student Relationships Need a New Language
Published
3 days agoon
September 5, 2024![](https://scoonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Teachers-Day-2024-1.jpg)
Let’s take a walk through a memory we all share. Picture a classroom from years ago—rows of desks filled with students, and at the front, a teacher, often feared, seldom questioned. The boundaries were clear, and so was the unspoken rule: the teacher was the ultimate authority. For many, respect wasn’t earned; it was demanded, and it was often respect cloaked in fear.
Now fast forward to today. Walk into a classroom and you might notice a shift, subtle yet profound. It’s not the same classroom anymore, and the role of the teacher has evolved. But here’s the catch: while education has progressed, our respect for the role of the teacher seems to have lagged behind. Today, on Teacher’s Day, it’s worth asking—why are the true nation-builders, the ones shaping our future, often undervalued and underpaid?
Perhaps the answer lies in how we’ve misunderstood what a teacher really is. For too long, society has viewed them merely as deliverers of information, bearers of authority. But teachers are so much more than that. They are the silent architects of our minds, the ones who help build the bridges between what we know and what we have yet to discover. Yet, somewhere along the way, we began to take this for granted.
The Shift from Fear to Friendship
There was a time when respect was born out of fear. Teachers ruled with a strict hand, their word was law, and questioning them was unthinkable. But was that true respect, or just submission disguised as respect? Today, we are seeing a new wave, where the teacher-student relationship needs to be redefined, not by fear but by mutual respect, communication, and, yes, even friendship.
But let’s be clear—friendship here doesn’t mean a blurring of boundaries. It doesn’t mean a loss of authority or a casualness that erases the lines of respect. Instead, it’s a different kind of connection. Teachers no longer stand on a pedestal looking down; they stand beside, guiding students through their own paths, understanding that each student’s journey is different.
Communication is key. It’s in the conversations where teachers take time to know their students, not just as learners but as individuals. It’s in the way they listen as much as they speak, creating an environment where students feel heard, valued, and respected. In turn, this earns the teacher a respect that is deeper and more lasting than the fear-based reverence of the past.
Why Do We Undervalue the Nation Builders?
Despite this evolution in the role of teachers, why does it feel like they are still fighting an uphill battle for recognition? In a world where education is hailed as the foundation of success, why are the people responsible for delivering that education often the ones most undervalued?
Part of the problem lies in how we measure success. Teachers don’t build skyscrapers, but they build the minds that will one day design them. They don’t operate on stock markets, but they shape the critical thinkers who will one day make important decisions. Their work is not tangible in the moment—it takes years, sometimes generations, to see the full impact of a teacher’s influence. And perhaps that’s why we forget.
We forget that every doctor, every scientist, every artist, and every leader was once a student sitting at a desk, shaped by a teacher’s encouragement or wisdom. And if we continue to undervalue teachers, we run the risk of weakening the very foundation upon which we build our future.
Redefining the Role, Rekindling Respect
So, how do we redefine this relationship? How do we remind ourselves, and society, of the immense value teachers bring? It starts with respect—respect that is not just expected, but earned through communication, understanding, and empathy.
Teachers need to be seen not just as authority figures but as mentors, guides, and facilitators of growth. This shift is already happening in many classrooms around the world, where teachers are creating spaces that are less about control and more about collaboration. They are empowering students to think for themselves, encouraging curiosity, and fostering a love for learning that will last long after the classroom doors have closed.
And in return, students are responding with a new kind of respect—one that comes from understanding that their teacher is not just there to lecture, but to guide, to support, and to inspire.
A Personal Yet Universal Connection
Whether you are 15 or 50, we’ve all had that one teacher. The one who went beyond the textbook, who saw something in us we didn’t see in ourselves. The one who stayed a little later after class to help, or who asked how we were doing when no one else did. That’s the power of a real teacher-student relationship, one that goes beyond authority and delves into mentorship.
On this Teacher’s Day, let’s redefine what it means to be a teacher. Let’s not just celebrate them, but value them in a way that goes beyond one day of appreciation. Let’s pay them what they’re worth, respect them for the role they play in our society, and recognise that the future of our world is, quite literally, in their hands.
Because the truth is, without teachers, there is no future. And that is something we can all understand, no matter our age.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a directive requiring all affiliated schools to establish ‘Composite Skill Labs’ to strengthen skill-based education in line with the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE). These labs are intended to provide students with practical learning opportunities, better equipping them for various career paths and entrepreneurial ventures.
As per the directive, schools must set up either a single Composite Skill Lab of 600 sq ft for classes 6-12 or two separate labs of 400 sq ft each—one dedicated to classes 6-10 and the other to classes 11-12. This facility is now a compulsory requirement for schools seeking new CBSE affiliation or renewing their existing affiliation. Schools that are already affiliated with CBSE must comply with this mandate and establish these labs within three years.
The NCF-SE underscores the importance of offering students hands-on learning experiences and projects that align with their chosen skills. The development of well-equipped skill labs and vocational training centres is crucial to fostering an environment that supports practical learning and the development of essential skills.

CBSE’s initiative reflects a broader commitment to enhancing the quality of education and ensuring that students are well-prepared for the diverse opportunities that lie ahead. The establishment of these Composite Skill Labs is expected to play a pivotal role in achieving these educational goals.

EDUCATION vs. SEX OFFENDERS: Ending the Culture of Violence Through Learning

August 22, 2024![](https://scoonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/male-and-female-signs-on-scales-on-grey-gender-eq-2023-11-27-05-06-09-utc.jpg)
In light of the recent reports about sex-related crimes, it’s natural to ask, “How much worse can it get?” But, “How can we make it better?” is perhaps a better question. This article explores solutions that schools, educators, society, and we as individuals can implement. Ultimately, we have a choice: either remain trapped in a vicious cycle that fosters sex offenders or teach lessons of equality, empathy, and equity to shape a safer future for our country.
Rapists are not born, they are made. They emerge when seemingly normal actions subtly elevate men above the basic principles of humanity. For example, when boys are asked to sit with girls in schools as a “punishment,” when boys are not encouraged to form healthy friendships with girls, or when girls are told to dress a certain way, concealing their individuality and their skin, these experiences serve the dual purpose of making girls feel inferior and leading boys to believe that everything wrong with society is somehow related to women. If such harmful beliefs can be taught, then lessons of empathy, respect, and equality should be even easier to instil. Proper sex education, paired with eradicating the long-standing practice of asking only girls to adapt, can help dismantle these erroneous beliefs by promoting gender equality and mutual respect.
Gender-based stereotypes that focus on what a student ‘should’ do rather than what they ‘can’ do also create an implicit obligation to follow a set path, whether towards family, profession, or society. The human mind is a pattern recogniser—we see things and assume them to be the rule. Thus, when children see their parents taking responsibility for certain tasks at home, they assume this is what happens in every household, in every place. Parents need to constantly challenge gender stereotypes to prevent their children from learning them. By dividing kitchen duties, having both parents buy essentials, both making payments, and both participating in home repairs, parents can demonstrate that duties or jobs are not assigned by gender, thereby teaching gender equality.
Sex education is also seen as a crucial solution. We’ve discussed its importance, read about its significance, and debated its benefits. Yet, we’ve failed to give it the academic and societal attention it truly deserves. With children now having unprecedented access to technology, and experiencing both the wonders and horrors of the world, addressing this issue has become even more crucial.
While efforts have been made to make sex education a mandatory course for adolescents, many states have opposed the idea, altering the course content to suit their preferences. Some schools have even gone to the extent of substituting the word “sex” with “adolescent” in the curriculum. The lack of proper sex education only exacerbates unhealthy attitudes towards sex, allowing non-consensual encounters and gender-based violence to persist. A study conducted on American students found a 56% reduction in the likelihood of sexual assault among those who received comprehensive sex education compared to those who did not. (This study, along with many others, published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, highlights the benefits of sex education, including a better understanding of consent, a decrease in unwanted pregnancies and STIs, and a reduction in sexual violence and marital rape.)
We have always waited for the government, society, and the elites to recognise problems and take action, but we often fail to realise that we are the ones who shape the government, society, and elites. When we unlearn these problematic ideologies, we create a society that doesn’t victim blame, takes serious action against heinous crimes, and welcomes people into workplaces based on their talents and merit, not on the sex they were assigned at birth. Education can either build or break the future citizens of a country. When we make these changes on our own level, we shape the future law-makers, law enforcers, and law-abiding citizens. The future is indeed in our hands.

The Evolution of Education Since the Arrival of the World Wide Web
Published
1 month agoon
August 1, 2024![](https://scoonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/world-wide-web-evolution.jpg)
Since its inception, the World Wide Web has fundamentally transformed various aspects of our lives, with education being one of the most profoundly impacted fields. The web has revolutionised how we access information, learn, and teach, paving the way for a more interconnected and informed world. As we celebrate World Wide Web Day on 1 August 2024, it is essential to reflect on how education has evolved with the advent of the web and envision the future of schooling.
The Early Days: Access to Information
Before the World Wide Web, accessing educational resources was often limited to physical libraries, textbooks, and in-person lectures. The web’s creation in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN marked a turning point. Suddenly, information could be shared globally via hyperlinks, making it possible for students and educators to access vast amounts of knowledge from anywhere in the world.
The early 1990s saw a surge in the number of websites, albeit a fraction of today’s online presence. By 1993, the web had grown from 50 servers to over 500, signalling the beginning of an information explosion. Educational institutions began to harness this potential by developing online repositories, digital libraries, and electronic journals, making learning resources more accessible than ever before.
The Rise of E-Learning
As the web evolved, so did its applications in education. The late 1990s and early 2000s witnessed the emergence of e-learning platforms, offering courses and degrees online. This period saw the rise of virtual universities and the proliferation of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), democratising education by making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Web-based learning platforms like Khan Academy, Coursera, and edX have since transformed the educational landscape. These platforms offer interactive lessons, video tutorials, and assessments, catering to diverse learning styles and needs. The web’s ability to facilitate real-time communication has also enabled collaborative learning, with students and teachers engaging through forums, chats, and video conferencing.
Interactive and Immersive Learning
Today, the web continues to drive educational innovation. Interactive and immersive learning experiences are becoming the norm, leveraging advancements in web technologies. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are being integrated into curricula, allowing students to explore historical events, conduct virtual science experiments, and engage in simulations that were previously unimaginable.
Web-based tools and applications like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and Moodle have become integral to modern education, enabling teachers to manage classrooms, distribute assignments, and track student progress seamlessly. These tools foster a collaborative learning environment, breaking down geographical barriers and making education more inclusive.
The Future of Schooling
As we look to the future, the web’s role in education will only expand. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning will personalise learning experiences, adapting to individual students’ strengths and weaknesses. Predictive analytics will help educators identify at-risk students and tailor interventions to support their learning journeys.
The web will also continue to facilitate lifelong learning. With the rapid pace of technological advancements, the ability to continuously upskill and reskill will be crucial. Online learning platforms will evolve to offer micro-credentials and modular courses, enabling learners to acquire new skills and knowledge throughout their lives.
In conclusion, the World Wide Web has profoundly impacted education, transforming how we access, deliver, and experience learning. As we celebrate its anniversary, it is clear that the web will continue to shape the future of education, making it more accessible, personalised, and immersive. By embracing these advancements, we can ensure that education remains a dynamic and inclusive force for good in the digital age.

Beyond Rote Learning: Cultivating Curiosity in Indian Classrooms

The world around us continues to grow, and we have emerged as a society that develops, innovates, and focuses on becoming more aware of its surroundings. Whether it is inventing new devices or addressing social issues, education is fundamental to our hope for a better future.
Indian education has evolved over many years to become what it looks like today. During the Vedic period, the teacher-student bond was focused on holistic development. After British colonisation, the curriculum shifted towards creating more “clerks,” emphasising mathematics and science over subjects like astronomy, philosophy, and metaphysics.
Since gaining independence, the primary focus has been to reform the education system to help every child reach their full potential and excel academically. It’s undeniable that our country is brimming with talented young individuals. Today, our citizens hold prominent positions in international companies, engage in groundbreaking research, and make meaningful contributions on a global scale. Our system aims to acquaint students with a wide range of subjects so that they have a basic understanding of each before choosing their specialised field. This approach allows students to acquire broad knowledge, providing them with a better understanding of various fields rather than delving deeply into the specifics right away.
In the current times, the focus should be more on how things are taught to our students. Let’s imagine a history class where a teacher is giving a lecture. Many of us might envision students getting bored and yawning, worrying about having to memorise a bunch of dates. This is the problem – we have become too reliant on rote learning, and our goal of learning has been reduced to simply regurgitating information on answer sheets during exams. With the increasing emphasis on competitive exams in our country, it has become common for students to study just for the sake of it. In the long term, this takes away the joy of learning new things altogether. While exams and assessments are necessary, students should be made aware that they are meant to assess their conceptual understanding and encourage more efficient learning, rather than succumbing to academic stress. Rote learning and memorization are important tools for learning, but students should be made aware of their purpose and utility so they understand why they are studying what they are studying.
It has been 14 years since the release of the famous Bollywood movie “3 Idiots,” and the question it asked is still very intriguing and relevant to us all: “How many students are excited that they will get to learn something new today?” It still feels like a utopian dream to imagine a classroom where all hands go up. Perhaps we can integrate values from our ancient style of education and combine them with our modern ways to establish a system that harbours students’ curiosity, gives them the space to ask questions, and provides them with more opportunities and choices to learn subjects that fascinate their interest.

From STEM to STEAM: The Power of the Arts in Modern Education

In recent years, the acronym STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, has become a focal point in discussions about education reform and workforce development. However, an increasing number of educators and policymakers advocate for the inclusion of the Arts, transforming STEM into STEAM. Integrating the arts into STEM education is not merely a trend but a vital shift that enhances creativity, critical thinking, and innovation.
Enhancing Creativity and Innovation
In fields like engineering and technology, where problem-solving is key, the ability to think creatively is invaluable. For instance, a student working on a design project in a robotics class might use principles from visual arts to create a more aesthetically pleasing and functional design.
The arts also foster an environment where experimentation is encouraged. Unlike traditional STEM subjects, where there might be a single correct answer, the arts embrace ambiguity and exploration. This mindset can lead to breakthroughs in STEM fields.
Improving Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills
Integrating the arts into STEM education enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Artistic endeavours often require students to analyse, interpret, and make decisions based on incomplete or abstract information. These skills are directly transferable to STEM disciplines. For example, a musician must interpret a piece of music and make decisions about phrasing and dynamics, just as a scientist must interpret data and make decisions about experimental procedures.
Moreover, the arts teach students to embrace failure as a learning opportunity. In artistic processes, iterations and revisions are part of the journey toward a final product. This approach is equally important in STEM fields, where initial experiments or designs often fail, and resilience and adaptability are crucial for success.
Bridging the Gap Between Disciplines
The integration of arts into STEM helps in bridging the gap between disciplines, fostering a holistic approach to education. Traditional education often compartmentalizes subjects, but real-world problems do not fit neatly into these boxes. By blending the arts with STEM, students learn to apply diverse skills and knowledge to solve complex problems.
For example, environmental science projects can benefit from artistic skills in visualizing data and communicating findings through compelling infographics or presentations. Similarly, architecture, which inherently combines engineering and design, requires a balance of technical skills and artistic vision.
Engaging and Motivating Students
Another critical aspect of STEAM education is its ability to engage and motivate students. Many students who might be intimidated by or disinterested in traditional STEM subjects find the integration of the arts makes these subjects more accessible and enjoyable. By incorporating artistic elements, educators can reach a broader range of students, tapping into diverse interests and talents.
For instance, incorporating music or drama into a math lesson can make abstract concepts more tangible and memorable. An art project that involves creating geometric patterns can help students understand mathematical principles in a hands-on and visually engaging way. These interdisciplinary projects can ignite a passion for learning and inspire students to pursue careers in STEM fields.
Preparing for the Future Workforce
The modern job market increasingly values skills such as creativity, collaboration, and communication—skills that are cultivated through the arts. Employers prefer individuals who can think creatively, work efficiently in teams, and have good communication skills. STEAM education helps develop these competencies, making students more versatile and adaptable.
Furthermore, the integration of arts into STEM aligns with the demands of the 21st-century economy, where innovation is key to competitiveness. Industries ranging from technology to healthcare to manufacturing benefit from employees who can integrate technical expertise with creative problem-solving abilities.
In conclusion, the importance of incorporating the arts into STEM education cannot be overstated. STEAM education enhances creativity, improves critical thinking, bridges disciplinary gaps, engages students, and prepares them for the future workforce. As we move towards an increasingly complex and interconnected world, the integration of the arts into STEM will be crucial in developing well-rounded individuals capable of tackling the challenges of tomorrow. By embracing STEAM, we not only enrich education but also empower students to become the innovative leaders of the future.

India at the 2024 Paris Olympics: A Call for Greater Sports Prowess and Better Sports Education
Published
1 month agoon
July 29, 2024![](https://scoonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/2024-Paris-Olympics-ft-Indian-athletes-2.jpg)
The 2024 Paris Olympics commenced two days ago, with India sending a contingent of 117 athletes across 16 sports. While this number represents a significant effort, it highlights a pressing need for a larger representation and enhanced prowess in global sports competitions. This aspiration can only be achieved through increased investment in sports, a shift in societal mindset, and a transformation in sports education within our schools.
Increasing the Sports Budget
To foster a robust sports culture, India needs to allocate more resources towards sports development. The current sports budget, though improved, is still insufficient to meet the demands of nurturing world-class athletes across various disciplines. Enhanced funding can ensure better training facilities, access to top-notch coaches, and international exposure for athletes from a young age. Countries excelling in the Olympics, like the USA and China, invest heavily in their sports infrastructure and athlete development programs, reaping the benefits in the form of medals and international acclaim. India must follow suit to compete on equal footing.
Changing the Mindset
In India, sports other than cricket often receive little attention until an athlete wins a medal. This reactive celebration highlights a fundamental issue in our sports culture. Athletes who dedicate their lives to disciplines like athletics, boxing, and badminton deserve recognition and support from the beginning of their journeys, not just when they achieve success. A proactive approach, where the efforts and struggles of athletes are acknowledged and supported continuously, will foster a more encouraging environment for aspiring sportspersons.
India’s obsession with cricket is well-known, often overshadowing other sports. While cricket’s popularity is a cultural phenomenon, it is essential to distribute this enthusiasm more evenly across various sports. Promoting diverse sports will not only provide opportunities for athletes in less-publicised disciplines but also help in discovering and nurturing talents that might otherwise go unnoticed. A more balanced sports culture can significantly enhance India’s performance in multi-sport events like the Olympics.
Reforming Sports Education in Schools
A critical area that requires urgent attention is sports education in schools. Currently, physical education (PE) periods are often viewed as leisure time or used by other teachers to complete their academic syllabi. This undervaluation of sports in the educational system hampers the development of potential athletes. Schools must recognise the importance of sports as an integral part of education, crucial for the holistic development of students.
Infrastructure and Opportunities
Many schools lack the necessary infrastructure to support various sports. Facilities for athletics, swimming, gymnastics, and team sports are either inadequate or non-existent. This lack of infrastructure prevents talented students from exploring and honing their skills. Investing in sports facilities at the school level is essential for identifying and nurturing talent early on. Additionally, schools should employ qualified PE teachers who can provide proper training and mentorship to young athletes.
Building a Supportive Environment
To create a thriving sports culture, it is imperative to build a supportive environment that values and encourages sports participation. Schools should organise inter-school competitions, sports days, and workshops with professional athletes to inspire students. Moreover, collaborations with sports academies can provide advanced training opportunities for talented students. Recognition of achievements in sports, both small and large, can motivate students to pursue sports passionately.
Therefore, the participation of 117 Indian athletes in the 2024 Paris Olympics is commendable but also a reminder of the potential yet to be unlocked. By increasing the sports budget, changing societal mindsets, diversifying our sports enthusiasm, and reforming sports education in schools, India can nurture a generation of athletes capable of excelling on the global stage. Embracing sports as a vital part of education will not only improve our Olympic performance but also contribute to the overall well-being and development of our youth.

July 29, 2024![](https://scoonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/shiksha-saptah-in-schools.jpg)
The Ministry of Education is commemorating the 4th anniversary of the National Education Policy 2020 with a week-long campaign titled “Shiksha Saptah.” On the final day, schools nationwide are focusing on enhancing community involvement in education through the Vidyanjali and Tithi Bhojan initiatives.
Vidyanjali: Strengthening Schools through Community Involvement
Vidyanjali, a school volunteer management program run by the Department of School Education & Literacy, was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 7th September 2021. This initiative aims to improve the quality of education by involving the community, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and the private sector.
As part of the Shiksha Saptah campaign, the Department of School Education & Literacy has suggested various activities for schools. These include onboarding schools to the Vidyanjali portal and identifying local volunteers. Schools will feature active volunteers on a “Wall of Fame” and encourage principals, teachers, and students to write letters of gratitude to these volunteers.
Community awareness activities such as rallies, street plays, poster-making, and chart-making about volunteer activities are being organised. State- and district-level officials are actively participating to ensure the campaign’s success. These efforts align with the NEP 2020’s goal of increasing community participation in education.
The activities aim to build a strong support system for students and teachers, creating a better learning environment by bringing together schools, volunteers, and the community through the Vidyanjali portal (https://vidyanjali.education.gov.in/).
