Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Discussion-III] Education sector is crying out for disruption

'Disruption in Higher Education'. Indeed very topical and dare I say relevant in the Indian HE context .  If India is to achieve its stated GER of 30% by 2020 , traditional and current ways of delivering and accessing Higher education would need a very dramatic reform ...  Bricks and mortar delivery is unlikely to be able to provide the resources to deliver this capacity .

Prof Jayasri  raises some very valid points .

Blended delivery ,  Work based integrated studies are two models of delivery that immediately come to mind in making changes in the current architecture of delivery . These  may not quite be Disruptive to the extent Moocs might be , but nonetheless could help significantly in increasing capacity .

I think however the  biggest 'dis' enabler in the Indian context is the multiplicity of regulators and  gatekeepers and the lack of flexibility and bandwidth within UGC.

1) Lack of students' commitment 

2) Lack of students' self-discipline and self-interest to do genuine learning

3) Lack of control on content and reading materials as its on free availability for editing and modifying by online users

4) Lack of personal or supervisory attention to those who need it 

5) Absence of licentiate authority

6) Poor or Lack of participation from accredited institutions to collaborate in imparting online courses

 

are some of the challenges about which the academic boards are afraid of. Still IIT, Mumbai has attempted suggesting MOOC for engineering education in India.

Everyone seems to be talking about disruption. Like "startup" and "funding", "disruption" has become a part of our daily parlance and evinces a strong sentiment among the entrepreneurial enthusiasts.

We are seeing disruption across sectors and levels, all of which is helping us in reimagining the world around us. Education, meanwhile, is crying out for disruption, but is going unheard. It is a sector that is brimming with opportunities and waiting to be tapped with an innovative approach. We see some activities on MOOC but UGC does not approve any online degree in India so far.

 

It would be really interesting to have a discussion on 'Disruption in Education'.
