Re: [MTC Global] [The Last Big Debate of 2015] What's wrong with education for education's sake?

Dear Sir, I believe the object of education is to provide the knowledge that will help an
individual face the challenges of life and change and become a useful member of the
Society. Towards this goal lies the vast region called employability. It poses the first
of the challenges to a person. The first test of competence is faced by a person in
becoming employable.
I also believe that a person becomes employable by others when he becomes self
employable. This calls for a lot of self knowledge which institutional education can only
provide partially.

Education for education sake means that the goal of education is education. Now this can
cause a great deal of confusion. Education in the first case refers to the means;a way of
learning while in the second case it refers to an end; a goal. As an example we find that
misers hoard money because making money serves both the means and the end. Such a hoard
is useless to everyone and even to the miser( it would pain him to lose it). To a person
studying anything just for the sake of studying may eventually become a hoard of all
kinds of knowledge, quite useless to anyone else.

Education is a means to attain changes in behavior, to become more refined, to become
good and useful,and to become sensitive to our world. If these ends are not served, I
believe that Education would be a curse.
Best regards,
K.Paranjpe

Re: [MTC Global] [The Last Big Debate of 2015] What's wrong witheducation for education's sake?

RESPECTED LEARNED SIR,

On stand alone basis, left to himself, Man is most unskilled, weakest living species on this planet. Left to himself, at birth,

he is good for nothing. on his own he can`t EVEN breathe ( Nurse has thump its chest for him ti initiate the process of

breathing, he can`t drink, he can`t eat, he can`t even sit he can`t stand he can`t defend) He is totally incapable of surviving if

left on his own. in this comparison animal is much better.

Man has to acquire all the life skills from the Society only.

God has given life and not living to man . Man has to learn living by himself. Here society

helps him.

Let us define role of education / teachers from this perspective

Now, I leave the stage for my learned colleagues and take a seat in audience.

WITH REGARDS.

Re: [MTC Global] What Is the Future of Higher Education?

Dear Sir, There are some very fundamental questions that arise when it comes to education
in the 21st century.
1. As can be noticed, since the spread of the internet from 1998 onwards and now the
spread of the mobile technology and the internet on mobile, the volume of information has
multiplied many-fold. This information is now on tap and it becomes quite useless for the
teacher to regurgitate it in the classroom no matter how important it may be.

2. Tools and techniques too are available on the internet and a serious learner can find
the right source to learn from.

3. Students are now in a position to choose what they want to pursue as far as learning
is concerned. The only gap is that they do not know what to pursue.

4. The students do not have an exposure to real live problems though they may have access
to search and find the solutions.

5. There are now very significant gaps that threaten the teacher as concerning his own
knowledge. This is because of the rapid changes brought about by technology in conducting
profitable businesses.

6. In my mind,the teacher of yore has all but disappeared. The teacher of tomorrow is a
specialist in some area of human activity,who is able to counsel students about his
specialization, he can articulate the problems concerning his specialization and is able
to design solutions for the problem. The teacher has become a trainer of motivated and
interested students to work on the problems using technology and design solutions based
on their own experience concerning their interest in the specialization.

7.To the disinterested students, there is nothing that the 21 century teacher can do for
them. The students have to find their ground for themselves. To the teacher without any
specialization, life is going to become more difficult with each passing year.
Best regards and very Happy New year -2016

No, It has taken a new form. When you get a new girl friend, you buy her a mobile phone
before getting other gifts. That is the power of technology. This is true of people in
the slums too. People can live without electricity, water or food but not mobiles.How did
this technology get adopted by housewives and slum dwellers. As they are the decision
makers they adopted a technology that they found useful.Why are we still using chalk and
talk? The decision to adopt technology is with the aged educators who belong to the 2G

changes. Why are we inflicting this kind of a torture on our Millenials and Gen Z

edXReason for despair:I am in the field of higher education, and I am continually
reminded of how challenging it is to transform this world through technology. While we've
seen technology revolutionizing so much of the world around us, and providing so much
access to everything from entertainment to communication, the same cannot be said of
quality education. Education is a basic human right, but has remained relatively
resistant to technology, and continues to be either of poor quality, or simply out of
reach for so very many people around the world.Reason for hope:The progress we've begun
to see in technology-enabled learning gives me reason to hope. Online learning has the
potential to revolutionize education in both quality and scale, enabling anyone with an
Internet connection and a will to learn access to an education. Experiments with MOOCs
have demonstrated that quality education can be offered to millions of students worldwide
at near-zero marginal cost. Recently, barriers to university credit for MOOCs have also
begun to come down, giving me tremendous hope that soon people will be able to get an
education and also a meaningful credential to showcase their work.Education has also been
recognized as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, so
I'm hopeful that nations will now see a reason to invest more heavily in education.Best

Re: [MTC Global] [The Last Big Debate of 2015] What's wrong with education for education's sake?

Purpose of Education is exploration and understanding which is vast and deep. as a child grows up in life and enters into next phase of life he needs certain skills so that he can earn too to be independent and sustain himself and dependent, grow and contribute back to society. education and employ ability skills are two different things. in recent times too much of focus on employbility has made these two things interchangeable..

[MTC Global] Indian Education Society not under RTI: Information panel

After ruling that the John Wilson Education Society is not a public authority, the state information commission (SIC), in yet another such order, has stated that the Indian Education Society, which runs several educational institutes, is not under RTI Act.

The order dated November 30 was passed by state information commissioner (Brihanmumbai bench) Ajit Kumar Jain and state information commissioner (Konkan bench) Thanksy Thekkekara.

The applicant, Vikram Karandikar, had sought information about pay scale of professors at IES Junior College, Bandra, from the IES. Via another application made separately to the college, he had sought the same details. Both said they are not public authorities.

Arguing for the IES to be declared a public authority, Karandikar said the funds the IES receives from the government account for over 33% of its total income and 42% of its total expenditure. It received I-T exemption, he added and also said that the IES had given information about an aided school on the same premises but declined to give information about the college, which is not aided. The society was having a dual policy of coming under RTI, Karandikar claimed.

Because the society was bound and regulated by rules of the education department and has to follow rules of the government to provide admission to students, including those from the backward classes, there were more reasons for it coming under the RTI, he said. Karandikar cited an order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on DAV College, wherein information pertaining to non-aided school on the same premises was directed to be given.

He argued that the Thalapallam verdict was not applicable as it was not financed by the government. IES, however, put forth two court orders that were stayed and are at the same stage. It also said that the I-T exemption granted to it is because it's an educational institute and that it has nothing to do with the finances given by the government.

It cited the order of Vishya Degree College, wherein the Supreme Court stated that "if an institution has a separate existence of its own without any reference to the statute concerned but is merely government by the statutory provisions, it cannot be said to be a statutory body."

The commission, while taking into consideration various orders, observed that the society, besides having government land, also had its own, from where it runs both aided and unaided institutions. It then ruled that the IES cannot come under the RTI. When called, Karandikar said, "I have just done a plain reading of the order and will look at in detail after sometime."

It is more of a Technology Solution chasing the problem ,rather than the other way round. Most of the Educators are yet to figure out how to mingle technology with teaching
so that students are benefited.

Reason for despair: I am in the field of higher education, and I am continually reminded of how challenging it is to transform this world through technology. While we've seen technology revolutionizing so much of the world around us, and providing so much access to everything from entertainment to communication, the same cannot be said of quality education. Education is a basic human right, but has remained relatively resistant to technology, and continues to be either of poor quality, or simply out of reach for so very many people around the world.
Reason for hope: The progress we've begun to see in technology-enabled learning gives me reason to hope. Online learning has the potential to revolutionize education in both quality and scale, enabling anyone with an Internet connection and a will to learn access to an education. Experiments with MOOCs have demonstrated that quality education can be offered to millions of students worldwide at near-zero marginal cost. Recently, barriers to university credit for MOOCs have also begun to come down, giving me tremendous hope that soon people will be able to get an education and also a meaningful credential to showcase their work.
Education has also been recognized as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations, so I'm hopeful that nations will now see a reason to invest more heavily in education.

[MTC Global] Education Dept. to sensitise teachers on POCSO Act

In the wake of incidents of sexual harassment of girl students by teachers in Mysuru district in the recent past, the Education Department has decided to hold a series of special meetings at the cluster-level to sensitise teachers about the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 and to insist on a safe, protective environment for schoolchildren. The headmaster of a government school at Siddalingapura on the outskirts of the city was thrashed by village residents for the alleged sexual harassment of a student on Wednesday.
This is not an isolated incident in Mysuru district in the last one year but over nine incidents of teachers harassing children sexually were reported in the district. The department had conducted a special training programme for teachers at different level few months ago and had made efforts to create awareness among teachers about the POCSO Act.
Teachers will be educated chiefly about higher punishment under the provisions of the Act if they commit sexual offences against children.
S. Chandra Patil, Deputy Project co-ordinator, Sarva Shikshana Abhiyan, said here on Thursday that teachers would be enlightened about public ire that they may have to incur if they commit such offences besides projection in electronic and print media. Makkala Suraksha Samitis in all schools would be further strengthened and more representation, particularly to girl students, would be given in such committees to expose the 'misconduct' of the teachers, he said.
The department has already written to the government to provide grants to install CCTV cameras at strategic points in all the government schools, Mr. Patil said and he noted that most of the private schools have already installed CC TV cameras in the district.

Re: [MTC Global] What Is the Future of Higher Education?

How did this technology get adopted by housewives and slum dwellers. As they are the decision makers they adopted a technology that they found useful.

Please change before education gets totally disrupted by technology.

All the best for the new year.
