Re: [MTC Global] 21st Century Educational Challenges

Dear Sirs,

When we know a shift is occurring that will significantly alter the competitive landscape and terms of play; modest change won't satisfy the shift, monumental change might.


Steve Jobs engineered a series of discontinuities that not only changed the world of communication and social engagement, they also vaulted his company to another level; honor but expunge the old; we may not have sufficient bandwidth to take on the new if you don't.

  • Create VALUE that is relevant and unique for the Millennial Generation we serve; stop flogging programs; start delivering experiences.
  • Address the key wants and desires of the segment you choose to serve; be the ONLY one that does what you do in order to stand out from the herd.
  • Be a learning organization, always listening for changes taking place in student behavior; study adoption rates of new technologies and learning solutions.
  • Disrupt your current direction. Aggressively intervene on yourself and push for order of magnitude change. Modest change won't satisfy the shift; monumental change might.

To me the historical major challenges for the 21st Century education are:
1. Mass education: Education to each and every one
2. Impart Quality education at
3. Affordable cost, preferably tuition and living free.

e-Education Technology is going to play a major role to achieve the above goals.

They also establish world class research departments.They also need modernization, quality control and creation of centers of excellence. Western education has achieved substantial advancements in all these areas. We have blend the growth of all educational systems.

Dear all,

I'm absolutely agree with that last comment of Paranjpe about
indian trajectories of education looking for a specificity starting
from indian needs for a diffuse risk simply to follow western model
explained by a plane specialization model! A western model unable to
know needs of peripheral population outside of urban growth or
peripheral in the urban area and unable to reach a diffuse
accessibility to knowledge for large part of population and in
particular poore population and women.

Dear Sirs, I believe that there is a definite shift in
the requirements of

the future models of education. If one looks at the history of
modern

education that the British introduced in India, we see that
education in the

colonial era was guided by a) the requirements of the Government
for

administration and for producing the supply of goods needed by the
colonial

power and b) the need for employing locals as clerks. What did
such a regime

need? A literate person who could understand the English language,


Mathematics and the Sciences as needed to understand the
technology of

manufacture; all of it as needed by the British for the growth and


sustenance of the Empire.



Post Independence, our education pattern moved from merely
producing to

replicating the Technology to produce and manage the economic
engine. The

number of subjects expanded to cover the faculties of Arts,
Sciences,

Commerce, Medicine and Engineering. Our Education again subscribed
to serve

the national economy. We expected the products of our institutions
to work

in the Industry, the administration and research. This to was in
keeping

with the requirements of a centralized form of a planned economy.
The

Private sector made do with whatever was the output of the
educational

institutions.



The Internet, Mobile Technology, Telecom have networked the world
so that

intellectual and design know how can be sourced far more easily.
Scientific

Developments move with frightening speed across the globe. In this
scenario

the matter learned becomes rapidly obsolete.



The Western Economies have already adapted to this change by
creating areas

of specializations pertinent to their social and economic
requirements. The

effect is the wide choice of careers available for their students
to follow.

Almost all of these careers rely on a high level of expertise and
different

forms of specializations. As an example, in medicare one comes
across

Hospital care, Institutional care and Home based care with their
own

requirements for qualified personnel.



We will end up following the Western Economies in this race unless
we learn

to identify what our own needs are as distinctly different from
the needs of

a westernised society. A set of needs that are our very own Indian
needs. In

this way we will have to direct our research, our education and
providing

that choice to the young graduates. One example of a very distinct
Indian

problem is of General and public hygiene. We have a pressing need
to provide

Toilets and lavatories for the public. Swachh Bharat abhiyan has
opened an

area of economic opportunity. Likewise harnessing Solar power or
Defense of

our long coastline are areas. There are many areas where education
in terms

of technology and management can be distinctly Indian and
different from the

Western models just as our music is.



Best Regards,

K.Paranjpe

Very right, 21st Century education challenges are not
different and similar

to what we have faced across centuries.However, in present
century, the

intention of education have become different. The

focus has shifted from life long learning to skill based
learning with

immediate output . That's why technology, has become major
interfacing tool

on education delivery . The future of Management Education
is bound to see

more of these usage of technology

, with short term skill based , output oriented and job
based approach .

There are times , when you are never going to be aware ,
when you are doing

a job and when you are learning , as and more and more
learning is going to

be pervasive.

Do you think that the basics of education are century
dependant? There are a

accessible.21st Century challenges include such
considerations as teaching

core subjects like science, mathematics

and language, media and technology, creative and critical
thinking, life

long learning, etc.







Under Indian scenario, we have failed to have a robust
national education

policy. We knew/know, our mind set, that education means
enhancing capacity

to earn more. Thus, we relate education with money
earning, in terms of

employment. Is it the sole objective

of our education system?







Indian Gurus and top Indian thinkers like Bharatratna Sir
M Visvesvaraya

have repeatedly put fourth that after the end of a course,
student must be

clean and right in thinking and doing, in habits, knowing
what is right and

what is not, patriot, loyal, integrated,

a good citizen, capable enough to support himself and his
family. Will

somebody enlighten me that our national education policy
is focused on such

issues? Then what is the point simply dealing with the
symptoms/outcomes of

our education rather than de-rooting

the causes responsible for such state of affairs? Can any
body say

emphatically that there were no un-employment issues
earlier, say in mid-

70s?







Look at the some of the present trends:



1. 80-90% target achievement for Classroom teaching?



2. The style of teaching theory and practical?



3. The quality of university exams. question papers?



4. Lesson planning and execution?



5. Research & consultancy?



6. Plagiarism at all levels, classroom teaching contents,
term work

submission, seminars, projects, dissertation and PhD
theses?



7. How many hours a faculty teaches, at leas 360 hours pa,
one hour per day?



etc.







I do agree that there are but a few exceptions.

succintly. Thats it. He hit the nail on the head.









The problem is a Disinterestant & Reluctant student,
an outcome of a series

of unwanrranted developments in last 20
years,,,,,,,,,,,,1990"s onwards







1. Lopsided & misguided priorities.



2. Who does not know what is good for him or her, does not
want to know

either.



3. A deep rooted lethargy & stubborn attitude towards
- assignment,

internals, any exam, classes, participation,
etc.,,,,,,learning in toto.



4. A false sense of overconfidence which is resulting in
talking more & less

keen to learn.They express views on everything - known
& unknown. Discussion

with faculty is on scores, placements, packages, future,
career,

specializations -- before gaining requisite

knowledge 7 right skills to do a job,,,,,,,,,,







Reason is - being born & brought up in abundance all
around.



There is no scarcity & dearth for anything - money,
food, vehicles, gadgets,

life style, restaurants, etc.





But touchwood, I have almost 90% students attending my
classes.



All this thanks to the poor Parenting skills, Single
child, DINK syndrome,

affluent parents, too much money, not knowing what to do,
how to

spend,,,,,,,,,,,.









This is a systemic defect which has engulfed into the
Indian culture & takes

a decade to rectify.
