The Summit also witnessed interactive sessions on topics ‘Importance of Inducive Policies to Build Effective School Education Ecosystem’, ‘How Technology is Transforming Teaching-Learning Process in the Schools of Tier 2 Cities’, ‘Collaborative approaches for redesigning of schools’, ‘How can schools work with others for Designing Tomorrow’s Schools?’ and ‘Future of Boarding/International Schools in India — Plans and Challenges’.
Industrialists also deliberated a PPT presentation and the exhibitors showcased an array of innovative solutions during the 1-day summit.
While on the session, CTET, JNVST and Misc Exam Director MVV Prasada Rao feels the biggest challenge is the behavioural and attitudinal changes in children.
“If parents and schools do not come together, it will be very difficult to develop the child. And this aspect is missing in today’s education scenario,” he added.
According to Rao, a school leader should have a “PHD — Passion for work, Hunger for competition and Discipline for commitment”.
Kalorex Group MD and CEO Manjula Pooja Shroff, a moderator in one of the sessions, said, “Today education is in transition and has to regrow and reinvent. Conferences like this help in expanding the horizon and, of course, networking.”
Ryan Group of Institutions CEO Ryan Pinto recalled the previous School Leadership Summits organised by Elets. He added, “Elets has taken the brand of Indian education overseas.”
Founder and MD of MT Educare Mahesh Shetty while deliberating on the topic, ‘How Technology is Transforming Teaching-Learning Process in the Schools of Tier 2 Cities’ quoted George Couros: Technology will never replace the great teacher but technology in the hands of great teachers is transformational.
