Maharashtra Evolving as Education Hub

With the Government of Maharashtra laying stress upon developing the State as an education hub, the education landscape of the State has got a huge boost. Be it Pune, Nagpur or other key cities drawing a huge number of youngsters to study here, the evolution of the State as an education hub makes an interesting study, writes Sandeep Datta of Elets News Network (ENN).

The last few years have witnessed a major push to develop Maharashtra as an education hub for which an array of efforts are being made.

The Vision

The State Government is working on a proposal to make the State an “Education Hub” by encouraging setting up of private universities, the State Education Minister Vinod Tawde revealed while talking to a reporter in 2015. Stating that a well-designed mapping of universities is needed to transform Maharashtra into an educational hub, the Education Minister said: “Our aim is to set up 25 to 30 universities in different parts of Maharashtra. I would also like to have a private sports university and a full-fledged university of arts and culture.”

CM Advocates Autonomy to Education Sector

Towards giving a boost to the big dream of Maharashtra as an education hub, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis while drawing a correlation between quality of education and autonomy enjoyed by educational institutes, announced in 2017 that the State would ensure more freedom to the educational sector.

Stating many institutes abroad could only make their mark, because they had autonomy, the Chief Minister said: “This can be replicated in the state too. But there have to be strict guidelines for running these academies, so that the high quality of education is maintained.”

Underling the significance of proper education, the Chief Minister said dreams of “new nation building“ could turn into a reality only when trained manpower was available. Stating that the need of the hour is to “convert the young population into useful human resource”, he said: “Only good educational institutes and teachers can make this happen. But commercialisation of the education sector is a worry”.

“The state will have to keep a check on private academies and government-run education institutes, so poor students too have access to education from institutes of academic excellence,“ the Chief Minister added. Fadnavis also revealed that his government has plans to use IT for ensuring that high- quality education also gets available in rural areas. In this view, the Chief Minister said, over 35,000 schools in villages have been digitised and skilled teachers in cities can share their knowledge with these students using IT.

“Our aim is to make Maharashtra’s education system the top ranker in the country… We will gain the top position in the years to come,” the Chief Minister said, adding that schools in the State have also shown improvement in baseline learning assessment tests.

A look at the ongoing efforts in cities like Nagpur and Pune offers a bird’ view of the vision being brought into reality with a focused and well-laid out approach.

Pune – From Education Hub to IT Hub

The wonderful city of Pune in Maharashtra is today known for some of India’s best institutes. Hundreds of students from other cities and states of India adapt Pune as their real home away from home for education. Not many may have observed but Pune has transformed from being an educational hub to an IT hub following arrival of big IT companies came in. This has also led to even massive increase in property rates in Pune.

A Glance at Pune’s Transformation into IT Hub

Infrastructure System: With improved roads, transportation has become safer for pedestrians, cyclists and differently-abled. All this is a reflection of how Pune has experienced tremendous developments related to physical infrastructure. Additionally, BRT corridor is an integral component of Pune’s strategy to tackle long-term mobility problems.

Development of Residential and Commercial Sector: With more IT companies entering the country, Pune became one of the major cities for the rise of commercial as well as residential sectors. Today, Pune is also known for the presence of top IT companies like Infosys, Wipro, IBM, Dell, Cognizant, and TCL. These companies are located in various IT parks around the city, some of the Pune’s famous IT parks are- the Rajiv Gandhi -Hinjewadi IT Park, Magarpatta IT Park in Hadapsar, Eon Cluster IT Park in Kharadi and more.

Nagpur – An Education Hub in Maharashtra

There was a time when Nagpur was famously known as one of the education hubs in Maharashtra. But call it technology, innovation or the new initiatives at other places, Nagpur fell way behind Mumbai and Pune as far as quality education institutions were concerned. But thanks to change of guard both at the Centre and State, with Narendra Modi of the BJP becoming Prime Minister and the same party’s government taking charge of the Maharashtra state, things changed dramatically. Hardly anyone would have thought the same city of Nagpur would get prestigious institution like IIM and NIPER, leaving other top cities behind. It is said it came due to the pursuance of top leaders like Chief Minister Fadnavis and Union Minister for Highways and Surface Transport Nitin Gadkari.

Meanwhile, it is also true that just political will power is not adequate to see these premier institutions through. It also needed ground support like a place for starting temporary campus, making arrangements for erecting infrastructure like furniture, equipment, classrooms, computers, and library among others.

Why Maharashtra is a State to Watch out For?

A Powerhouse of Indian Economy

Maharashtra, also described as the powerhouse of Indian economy, is home to the financial capital of Mumbai. The State attracts highest foreign investment and is best placed to become the next global financial, commercial and cultural hub for future design, innovation and creativity-led entrepreneurship opportunities.

Maharashtra Set to Play Big Role in Young India by 2020

With India all set to become the youngest nation by 2020 with an estimated working-age population of 962 million, Maharashtra, which accounts for over 9% of the population, will be a major beneficiary. There are valid reasons behind it too. The State will benefit because of the availability of human capital in a period of soaring demand in industries such as construction, retail, BFSI, IT & ITeS, and manufacturing among others. The endeavours in the State are also driven by the vision of equipping 45 million people with employable skills by 2022, Maharashtra is marching on the path of convergence of human capital and employment opportunities.

Most especially, there is an equal focus on skill development initiatives for job- creators. It will augur well for creation of a sustainable ecosystem of talent pool and job opportunities. It should also be remembered that Maharashtra’s development is centred on innovation, infrastructure, culture, tourism and sustainability.

Infrastructure Offering Hope for Employment

When you talk of overall infrastructure, Maharashtra is among better placed states. There are some key steps that can be undertaken to achieve global standards. Recent efforts by the government such as development of Aurangabad Industrial City, the greenfield smart industrial city, can be observed as a progressive step towards establishing a sustainable infrastructure for industrial advancement in the region.

Education Scenario in Maharashtra

Having a huge population strength, the scope of education and other important things has also got increased. Apart from Pune, there are many other districts that are good platforms of education such as Aurangabad, Kolahpur, Mumbai, Ahmednagar, among others.

There are a lot of tourist spots in Maharashtra which needs to be explored by many tourists of the particular nation. Education in Maharashtra is also required to run in a perfect order. Each of the 35 districts of the State hold a hug scope for providing excellent education. The world class training institutes as well as several schools associated in the state provide excellent scope of education. Education in Maharashtra is really wonderful in comparison to other regions of the country.

Primary Education System in Maharashtra

The primary education system in Maharashtra is similar to the system of education existing in other parts of the country. There are several preparatory that provide ample scope of education. Education in Maharashtra at primary level emphasises on child development techniques. From age-three, each child is expected to have proper training under the particular education system. And, every kid is provided with care and affection by the primary teachers to ensure a focus on their development part.

Higher Education

There are universities both owned by the State as well as Private Ownership under which education in Maharashtra is carried forward. A proper attempt of benefit under higher standard of education reflects in higher education institutions that is associated with the education system in Maharashtra.

Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education

There are about 21,000 schools (SSC) and 7,000 (HSC) Higher Sec. Schools / Jr. colleges in Maharashtra. The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education (HSC), Pune exists as an autonomous body established under the provisions of the Maharashtra Act No. 41 of 1965.

The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary & Higher Secondary Education, conducts the HSC and SSC Examinations in the state of Maharashtra through its nine Divisional Boards located at Pune, Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nasik, Kolhapur, Amravati, Latur, Nagpur and Ratnagiri. The Board conducts examination twice a year and the number of students appearing for the main examination is around 14 lakhs for HSC and 17 lakhs SSC, for the supplementary examination around 6 lakh students are expected HSC and SSC together.

Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ to be the new HRD Minister

Ramesh Pokhriyal

In the newly formed Central Government, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ has been appointed as the Minister for Human Resource Development.

The former Uttarakhand Chief Minster Pokhriyal will be taking over Praksah Javdekar, who has been given the charge of Environment and Information & Broadcasting Ministry. The newly elected MPs have been allocated ministries a day after a grand swearing-in ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhawan on May 30, 2019.

Pokhriyal has been elected as the member of Lok Sabha from Haridwar for the second consecutive term. He defeated Congress candidate Ambrish Kumar with a margin of 2,58,729 votes and bagged 6, 65,674 in total.

The Bharatiya Janata Party registered a landslide victory by winning 303 seats in the recently concluded Lok Sabha Elections 2019. Combining the figures of its allies – NDA, the total mark reached to 353 seats. On the other hand, Congress led UPA only managed to bag 92 seats in the election.

Talking about Pokhriyal, the Minister was in limelight last month after the news of his daughter Capt Dr Shreyashi Nishank joining the Army had surfaced. He had shared his feelings on social media stating that he is extremely honoured with her daughter joining the Army Medical Corps as an officer. As per reports, it was Pokhriyal who motivated his daughter to join the Army during a trek to Kedarnath.

Personalised Learning Paving Way for Quality Higher Education

Personalised learning is now a major movement in education. Higher education institutes across the country are increasingly seeking ways to tailor and align instructions via education technology to match the individual needs of students based on their unique learning profiles, writes Akash Tomer of Elets News Network (ENN).

In the education scenario transforming at a fast pace, one-size-fits-all approach is no longer acceptable to students. With rapidly growing use of digital technologies in every field, students are expecting the similar kind of personalised attention in education sector that they are getting as customer service from companies such as Amazon and Spotify.

At pre-primary level, personalised education has seen exciting changes but higher education is still struggling to adopt it. For higher education sector, it is easy to make personalised learning a part of the curriculum as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovative ed-tech solutions can cater to personalised learning styles and diverse individual needs. Just in time assessment can assist teachers to intervene at appropriate stages and tailor lesson plans accordingly. Assistive technologies will enable students with learning disabilities to have personal learning experiences and continue mainstream education.

Personalised learning is in the market from quite a few times and it looks like it is not going anywhere anytime soon. Though the concept is new to adopt but it may offer a solution to the demands and needs of individual students and working professionals? The origins of personalised learning research first emerged in 1984 when the educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom challenged the academic community to replicate, at scale, the effectiveness of one-to-one or small-group tutoring. Bloom found that students who received personalised instructions outperformed 98 percent of those who did not.

Moreover with changing times, introduction of new methodologies like one-to-one initiatives, online classrooms, blended-learning models, and the rise of technology in classrooms have allowed students easier, individual and far more access to relevant educational content than previous generations. In addition to these methodologies, the effective implementation of technology will act as an added advantage to implement personalised learning as the technology-rich environment will revolutionise a student’s classroom experience. However, 35 years after Bloom’s research, the higher education community in India is slowly starting to move towards personalised learning.

What is Personalised Learning?

Personalised learning can be defined as prioritising the needs of individual students when developing curricula and learning materials. Students work at their own pace, often independently of the teacher. technology may be used to allow students to access online materials, work through topics, find additional resources, and to assess and monitor their progress. Students are encouraged to be active learners and teachers are encouraged to engage with students one to one or in small groups.

Effective personalised learning systems should include the following features:

  • Teaching should be in line with the higher education institute’s curriculum and industry-relevant skills
  • The teaching methodologies followed must develop the social and emotional skills needed for students to be successful in professional and personal life
  • Learning experiences of students should reflect their interests
  • Learning must be at the pace of individual student, means students can move ahead when they understood a concept or can go slow until they grasp the one completely
  • Teachers must have access to data from student assessments and feedback in real-time so they can adapt materials and intervene to help students if necessary so that students remain on track to completion

Benefits of Personalised Learning

Self-paced Learning

Students can decide on the pace at which they learn. unlike conventional classroom learning, personalized learning allows students to manage the speed at which they master a subject. Using self-assessment tools periodically to test their knowledge they can ensure that they fully grasp the material before moving forward.

Self-pacing means that students who learn at a faster pace don’t become bored while waiting for their classmates to catch up, they can simply move on to the next lesson. Those who take longer to learn do not fall behind and become demotivated, they simply learn at their own pace.

Insights via Technology

Personalised learning programme software such as Knewton and Realizeit can allow teachers to monitor their students’ actual progress against their targeted progress in real time.

This can help teachers to more easily identify and help students who are struggling with the material and give meaningful one-to-one attention to them if needed. Rather than waiting until mid-terms or finals to assess students’ proficiency in a topic, ongoing assessments mean that learning is reinforced and where gaps in knowledge are identified they can be addressed immediately.

In addition, students may feel more comfortable approaching teaching staff with feedback through email or the software provided rather than in the context of a larger lecture hall or classroom. This would allow more introverted students or those struggling to raise issues at an earlier stage.

Cater to Various Learning Styles

Personalisation enables material to be presented in ways which are most meaningful and relevant to the student. A personalised learning program should include presentation of various concepts in different ways.

Many students prefer to learn in small groups with that leads to healthy discussions on the topics, unfortunately, traditional delivery of material in large lecture halls fails to retain their attention. For verbal students reading might remain the most attractive option, others who learn aurally might prefer to listen to the material.

While most educators aim to deliver courses in ways which cater to all styles, personalised learning allows the student to pick and choose which delivery methods are most accessible and memorable to them.

The teacher can help students to identify their most effective way of learning and encourage them to use the most appropriate methods.

Increased Student Engagement

Traditionally the teacher was the classroom authority who decided on what students would learn, how, and when. With personalised learning, students are encouraged to have greater engagement with the subject. Teachers can help them to identify how they learn best and to set their own goals and targets for progression. Students can create schedules which meet their needs, whether they are night owls or early birds they can study at the time that best suits them. Sleeping-in will no longer mean missing out on lectures.

For working professionals studying as a form of continued professional development, course material can be tailored to more accurately reflect the knowledge required in their professional life. A personalized pathway to a professional qualification means that students and employers can have input into a course to ensure its relevance.

Widely Accessible Material

Personalised learning caters for students with diverse needs and backgrounds. The self-pacing allows non-traditional students with more demands on their time to work in non-traditional settings. Smartphones and Wi-Fi mean that they can access learning materials from home, on breaks at work or while on public transport.

In addition, students with disabilities can use adaptive technology to get the most from the study materials and to communicate effectively with their teachers and classmates. As customer service across sectors becomes more personalised, it is inevitable that education will follow suit. Students will expect and demand education that reflects their preferred learning styles, interests and continued relevance to the professions they wish to pursue.

While, some educators might initially feel uncomfortable with the change and reluctant to move from the more traditional education model to a more bespoke student-led model, these misgivings may be overcome if higher student engagement and graduation rates follow. Creating flexible, personalised education pathways will open up higher education to more students and may make education a more appealing prospect to those put off by traditional teaching methods. For working professionals previously locked out of higher education by busy work and family schedules, personalized learning may make higher education more attainable.

Shoolini University — Redefining Education, Transforming the World

There has been an exponential growth in the sphere of higher education in India since the independence. In the last few years… private sector has contributed a lot, but the country is still far from realising its full potential. From merely 18 universities at the dawn of independence, the country now has a total of 907 universities, as per the data available till March 31, 2019 with the government. These include 399 State Universities, 126 deemed to be universities, 48 Central Universities and 334 Private Universities.

Vipin Pubby, Director-External Relations, Shoolini University

Data shows that it was after the emergence of private universities in the last two decades that the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), hovering around 14 per cent in 2010, zoomed up to 23.6 per cent in 2015 and 25.2 per cent 2016-17. The country is aiming to reach 30 percent GER by 2020. During the first five decades of independence, higher education was the sole monopoly of the Government. It was reluctant to throw open the avenue to the private sector which resulted in limited opportunities for students aspiring for higher education.

It was only in last few years of 20th century that efforts were initiated in the Parliament to set up private universities but again there was stiff resistance. Since education is in concurrent list with powers vested both with the Centre and the States, some States took the initiative and began granting permission for setting up private universities.

The growth since then has been phenomenal. Several States granted permissions to set up dozens of private universities and some of the States set up regulators to ensure that these universities followed proper procedures and maintained basic standards. The number of students in higher education has swelled to nearly 25 million but the number is going to rise further in the years to come and private universities have played a stellar role in making it possible.

Most such private universities have contributed to the higher education scenario but some have excelled. Himachal Pradesh-based Shoolini University, for instance, is yet to turn 10 but has been punching much above its weight. The University, which has created a niche for itself, has attained a H-index of 45, which is second best after IIT Indore and highest among 380 universities established in and after 2009. The H-Index reflects the output based on the total number of publications and the total number of citations to those works, to provide a focused snapshot of an institution’s or individual’s research performance.

Not just that, its faculty and students have already filed over 300 patents which involve preliminary investigations by authorised agencies into the exclusivity and viability of the patents filed. Shoolini University’s Vice Chancellor Prof PK Khosla said that during the last financial year, faculty and students of the University had filed over 180 patents and added that “we are confident that this figure is either the highest or the second best among all the Indian Universities, though official data is not available in this regard”. Official confirmation, however, is still awaited. But to be ranked among the most prestigious institutions of the country, including IITs, IIMs and other central institutions like NIPER, is in itself a remarkable achievement.

The University is now rubbing shoulders with world class institutions and matches global standards in several research parameters. Unfortunately the parameters adopted for rankings in the country place low premium on research and related activities like publications and citings in journals as compared to the norms abroad. The parameters on which international ranking agencies such as Times Higher Education (THE), Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) and Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) operate are metrics such as research, reputation and internationalisation. On the other hand the rankings systems for Indian universities primarily focus on teaching and less on research.

Besides Shoolini, some other private sector institutions are also doing well but it would be a good idea to give more autonomy and make the system less regulated for those institutions which are performing well. There is also the need for corporate and industry to step in and contribute towards the higher education through innovative ideas and finances. There is a long way to go to provide access to good education to the millions of youngsters. It can be done through a collaborative effort of the public and private sector.
