Reimagine education system: Experts
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: A dialogue about reimagining the education system to better align with the demands of 21st-century students was the mainstay of Day 2 at the HPS Centenary Educators Conference. Dr Chetan Singai, dean of School of Public and Legal Studies; chief consultant and convener, Union ministry of education, said, "Some of the critical paradigm shifts we want to see in NEP are holistic learning characterised by emotional, social, ethical, intellectual, physical capacity of students; emphasis on analytical and creative thinking rather than rote learning; integrated learning with social skills. It is time to ‘uncover syllabus’ than ‘covering syllabi.” Pramath Raj Sinha, founding dean of Indian School of Business, said: “Excellence in education can be achieved through five broad areas: 1. How to grow.” Day 2 saw panel discussions around topics like ‘Teacher Education, Challenges and the Way forward’; ‘Supporting Childrens’ Emotional and Mental Wellness’; and workshops which used techniques from drama and theatre to create engaging teaching-learning experiences for educators' work-lufe balance.
