Pritam Agrawal, Founder Director, Hello Kids

With a vision to make quality education accessible to all children, our journey of 14 years in pre-school education began with a single school and now includes a family of 630+ pre-schools in India and Bangladesh, six of K12 schools and a growth plan expected to cross 1000+ pre-schools by 2020, says Pritam Agrawal, Founder Director, Hello Kids, in an interview with Elets News Network (ENN).

Tell us what are the key strengths of Hello Kids?

Our children are part of a fun-based learning experience. Our curriculum and teaching aides are being constantly upgraded along with stage exposure giving our children confidence early in life. Parent-teacher interaction is primarily to support the children and for progress towards set goals. Our adult-child ratio is as low as 7:1. Our teaching and non-teaching staff is verified by one of the best agencies in South-East Asia. Most of our centers in Karnataka are recognized by the State Education Department.

We follow Montessori and Harvard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theories in curriculum development.

How does the curriculum at your preschool contribute to the overall learning and development of the children?

We strive to support high quality learning while giving every child the opportunity to reach his or her full potential through a program of learning that is coherent, relevant, and most importantly, age appropriate. We understand that children need to be critically literate in order to synthesize information, make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and thrive in an ever changing global community. The curriculum at our preschool recognizes the need of the learners as diverse and helps all learners develop the knowledge, skills, and perspective they need to become informed, productive, caring, responsible and active citizens in their own communities and in the world.

The Government of Karnataka invited us to be on panel when developing curriculum for the state.

Tell us more about your journey in the preschool fraternity? And what is the key behind your success?

Fulfilling. We started our first pre-school in 2005 at Bangalore and currently have 600+ centers across India and Bangladesh. Within a time span of 2 years, we had 5 pre-schools and were ready to franchise. And now, we have a community of business owners and teachers pan-India who do not pay us any royalty. Our passionate franchisee edupreneurs are trained regularly at our 40 training locations across India. Our directors closely mentor each individual.

No Royalty franchisee model with quality affordable early childhood education was the key for the success.

What goes into making Hello Kids the most awarded preschool?

Yes. We have been awarded with the Best Pre-school Curriculum, Fastest Growing Pre-school Chain, Innovative Teaching Practices, amongst others.

The people make the brand. Our 630+ passionate edupreneurs are connected to each other online. This provides a platform for our team to share success stories, marketing techniques and updates. Our business owners are part of a community; not competitors, but each other’s strength and support in mutual growth and development.

How does working with various associations help you in contributing to early childhood education industry?

As Vice President of Early Childhood Association, gives me a voice to address the issues in the system and do my bit in regularizing the industry. Being a member of Early Education, UK and NAEYC, USA helps me in bringing home the latest information in early childhood education available globally. This allows me to proudly claim a truly integrated international curriculum.

Directorate of Education to change recruitment rules for teachers of Delhi govt schools

Trained Graduate Teacher

The Directorate of Education has reduced the age limit to apply for the posts of Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) in secondary classes in Delhi government schools by two years. As per the proposed new TGT recruitment rules, the maximum age to apply will be 32 years contrary to the present limit of 30 years.

The new recruitment rule will be applicable for the teachers applying for the post of teachers in English, Mathematics, Social Science, Physical Science / Natural Science including Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali (Language Teacher) in the Secondary classes. However, the government serving applicants from the Central Government will be given an exemption of five years in the age limit.

The new proposed recruitment rules have evoked discontent among the guest teachers.

The All India Guest Teachers Association also expressed displeasure and asserted that bringing new recruitment rules will cause injustice to many guest teachers and others.

Notably, after four years the DSSSB had invited applications for teacher recruitment in 2017 and conducted the examination in 2018. Further, DSSSB is expected to conduct recruitment for more than 10 thousand posts. Thus reducing the age limit is expected to cause a lot of disruption among students.

Besides reducing the age limit, the DoE report has given preference to direct recruitment for teaching in secondary classes, say the latest media reports.

Under this, the DoE has decided to reduce the promotion quota in the proposed manual. Now, the promotion quota will be 20% for filling the vacant posts of subject teachers in government schools including language.

At the same time, 80 percent will be direct recruitment. As per the previous recruitment and promotion rules, 75 % of TGT posts in government schools were filled by promotion and 25% by direct recruitment.

HRD Ministry directs IITs to come up with action plan to improve national & International rankings

Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank

The Ministry of Human Resource Development has directed the reputed Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) to present an action plan to improve their national and international rankings.

Notably, the Union HRD Minister, Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ had also escalated the issue of rankings in the recently conducted meeting of the IIT Council, the apex decision making body of 23 IITs in the country.

Speaking on the latest development, a senior HRD minister said, “The issue was discussed in the Council meeting. It is important to work on research excellence. The IITs have been asked to work on improving their national and international rankings. For this each, IIT will come up with an action plan”.

QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) and Times Higher Education (THE) are two of the most prominent higher education surveys in the world. However, Indian Institutes including the most celebrated IIT’s have failed to leave an impact and found a place in the top 100 in these lists.

But on the other hand, western institutes, such as Oxford University and MIT have continuously bagged the top positions in the survey.

However, this year, IIT-Bombay, IIT-Delhi and IISc-Bangalore found spots among the top 200 universities in the prestigious world rankings released by the Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).

Interestingly, the HRD ministry also organised a review meeting with QS to determine the reason why India’s reputed universities such as JNU, Hyderabad University have not been able to make it to the ranking list.

Notably, the HRD Ministry releases its own rankings annually on the basis of National Institution Ranking Framework (NIRF).

We are changing the way higher education is imagined and experienced: Alison Campbell

Alison Campbell

The higher education sector is being transformed, whether it be through digital transformation, increasing competition from universities globally as they seek to attract the best minds and talent, or the rapidly changing work environment that is demanding graduates who aren’t just book smart but have critical thinking skills.

In an interview with Elets News Network, Ms. Alison Campbell, Deputy Director- International Marketing and Recruitment, University of Queensland talked about the several initiatives in the learning revolution, helping graduates to excel in the workplace.

With the changing times and maddening race to emulate competitors, what prominent challenges a University of Queensland is faced with?

University Q already holds a place among the world’s top 50 universities. Our successful global profile is the result of forging strategic partnerships across industry, government, sponsorship, philanthropy, alumni, higher education and research. This has afforded University of Queensland a proud reputation for creating change in the world through research achievements such as developing a cancer vaccine that can save an estimated 250,000 lives per year, empowering four million families to create the kind of environments where children can flourish, creating a new drug for nerve pain and chronic inflammatory pain, resulting in Australia’s biggest biotech deal to date.

What are some of the innovations being introduced by University of Queensland for improved learning outcomes among the students?

University of Queensland is changing the way higher education is imagined and experienced. In 2016, UQ announceda five-year program of initiatives at the forefront of the learning revolution, designed to equip UQ graduates to be enterprising and to excel in the new-world workplace.

Game-changing graduates: expanded programs and support to enhance workplace integration and employability, on-campus idea accelerators, multi-disciplinary courses for creating change, and extended opportunities for global experiences and network building.

Student-centred flexibility: more flexible study options, new course options to complement advanced digital learning resources, personalised online learning tracking to provide real-time data and analytics on learning progress, and a move to a trimester system for some programs.

Dynamic people and partnerships: a partnership with students in learning and decision-making, a mentor program, a move toward increasing the engagement of students in our world-class research, a comprehensive professional development program for staff, investment in academic support through digital delivery tools and contemporary content design, and increased partnerships with industry.

An integrated learning environment: the development of the campus precinct; increased and enhanced student spaces for individual and group learning, rest and socialising; renewed IT infrastructure; an on-campus support hub; and an online support hub that offers 24/7 access.

Describe the mission and vision behind the visit of delegation and faculty from UQ coming to India?

UQ has identified India as a strategic country to engage with under the University’s Global Strategy (2018-2021). For sustainable growth and success, we aim to operate with an overarching, holistic and long-term strategy that aligns the University with Indian government, academia and industry, and supports PhD and collaborative research with strategic partners. This visit to India builds on our previous engagements with India, including the establishment of a joint academy of research (UQIDAR) last year.

For more than a century, The University of Queensland has delivered, and continues to deliver, knowledge leadership for a better world. Among our delegation to India are experts well-known in their respective fields who will be delivering masterclasses to prospective students and professional development seminars to high school counsellors and school leaders. Students from 14 high schools across India will engage with these experts through the Create Change Challenge and have the opportunity to pitch their own ideas for Sustainable innovation for future cities.

There are also a number of student recruitment focused events taking place in New Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai to enable prospective Indian students interested in studying abroad to engage with UQ academics and professional staff who will answer their questions.

Why UQ has chosen India for their student recruitment drive?

In 2018 UQ Chancellor Mr Peter Varghese AO called for education to be a ‘flagship sector’ as Australia seeks to lift trade and investment ties with India. Mr Varghese, the former Australian High Commissioner to India, made the call in his An India Economic Strategy to 2035 report, released by the Australian Government in July. It contains 90 recommendations to transform Australia’s relationship with India and take the economic partnership to a new level.

Mr Varghese’s report says education should be the flagship sector because of a combination of Australian expertise, the scale of India’s education deficit and the way in which an education and training demand weaves its way through virtually every sector of the Indian economy.

India is currently Australia’s largest source of skilled migrants and there are attractive post-study work opportunities.

UQ’s vision for 2020- the global strategy in the face of a digital revolution and increasing competitiveness. What steps have been undertaken to achieve that vision by the university?

The UQ Strategic plan sets the direction for UQ as we pursue our vision of providing ‘knowledge leadership for a better world’. UQ recognises that this period will be challenging as the University adapts to a rapidly changing environment. UQ is commitment to remaining a comprehensive, research intensive university, while emphasising the importance of collaboration, diversity and partnered innovation as a critical means of solving complex global challenges. The Strategic Plan has identified three long term objectives with six medium term strategic focus areas. These include:

  • Transforming our student experience through a flexible, integrated and partnered learning environment.
  • Enhancing our high quality research by improving our capacity to collaborate to achieve greater impact.
  • Building engaged and strategic partnerships with a broad range of local and global networks.
  • Committing to activities that attract, support and retain a diverse and inclusive community of high achieving staff and students.
  • Building an agile, responsive and efficient University operation.
  • Diversifying our income streams and managing our resources to establish a sustainable financial base.
  • Transforming our students into game-changing graduates will ensure that they are not only prepared to succeed in their chosen pathway, but will also provide the leadership necessary to create change.

Encouraging entrepreneurship and research in India, how UQ will help Indian students broaden their horizons?

UQ supports entrepreneurs to generate and action ideas in response to identified needs and opportunities through UQ ventures. Students, staff and alumni have access to a suite of programs to build their skills in a hands-on environment. A wide range of events and activities are run across the year, and support is provided from idea generation through to market validation, and from launching a startup to scaling it up. By facilitating programs that increase soft skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, agile thinking and resiliency to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, students can increase their overall employability prospects.

In 2018, UQ signed a historic agreement partnering with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITD) to launch a joint Academy of Research (UQIDAR). UQIDAR will pave the way for students and academics to partner on projects addressing some of the most pressing issues affecting India, Australia and global communities. Supported by generous scholarship opportunities, the Academy of Research encourages students from India and Australia to take advantage of each other’s world-class facilities and resources, and to develop culturally diverse research networks. Open to all disciplines, the partnership will enable students to gain a global qualification from both IITD and UQ in four years.

What are your thought regarding India as next Higher Education Destination?

India’s higher education landscape is large and complex, with over 760 universities that are run by various national public, state-owned, and privately owned and operated governing bodies. Indian universities, even elite institutions, do not feature in the top 100 universities in global rankings.

India and Australia have complementary strengths in higher education. Australia’s higher education market although very small in comparison boasts a very high quality offering. While the country is home to only 39 universities, six of these institutions are ranked in the global top 100. Moreover, the system in Australia is highly regulated by the Australian Government in order to maintain high standards. The curriculum in Australia is very agile and constantly reviewed and updated to match ever changing industry requirements.

Australian universities, including UQ, have increased their engagement with India over the past decade, fostering partnerships in research, education initiatives, joint publications, and student-staff exchanges. Partnerships like UQIDAR seek to help close the disparity between countries through skills and knowledge exchange, helping to bolster the excellent work already being done in India’s quality institutions.

In the next five years our goal is to establish as the best private university in India: Sachin Gupta

Sachin Gupta

In conversation with Elets News Network, Sachin Gupta, Chancellor, Sanskriti University, Mathura shared the several initiatives that will raise the Institution to the status of top 10 private universities on all key parameters, making incredible progress at a quick pace.

Tell us the mission and vision of your esteemed university?

The mission of Sanskrtiti University is “Excellence in Life” and vision is to create ultimate destination for world class education. We understand the task is difficult enough but we believe in Henry Ford’s saying “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

In this rat race of emulating competitors, what are the prominent challenges that Sanskriti University is faced with?

While there is mushrooming of University but the fact is that majority are the clone of one another which make no real competition. Sanskriti does not believe in emulating competitors rather competitors should follow Sanskriti. Sanskriti is not in rat race because it has created a niche area for itself where there is not much crowding. In fact, Sanskriti itself is its nearest competitor.

What are some of the innovations being introduced at your institution to improve learning outcomes among the students?

Sanskriti understands that “Idea” is the most priceless possession and “Innovation” is the key to survive, sustain and succeed.

Innovation starts in Sanskriti University with the conceiving of idea of a different class of university that, from the beginning, implement structured syllabus based on “Choice based Credit Based System” and “Outcome based Learning” which is validated by industry partner including MSME, PPDC, Agra.

Sanskriti is the first university in India which has conceptualized, innovated and implemented IIIE (Innovation, Incubation, IPR and Entrepreneurship) Cell which has subsequently become a bench mark for other universities to follow.

With the legacy of Sanskriti University on your shoulders, how do you plan to take this forward in the coming times? What are the future initiatives in the higher education sphere?

Sanskriti University believes in Excellence – thinking as well as in action. Sanskriti has explored the best education system, the best practices, garnered support from best academic and industrial collaborators from India and abroad, conceptualized the system and progress is monitored by a group of eminent visionary educators, invested in best infrastructure, the most knowledgeable and inspiring faculty team and ascertained the best academic environment for the students to excel.

Sanskriti considers this university is a ‘Sanctum Sanctorum’ (holiest of holy places) and every member of the Sanskriti family discharges his/her responsibilities with utmost devotion and sincerity and accomplishes the assigned tasks with great degree of finesse. With its vision to be a world class knowledge enterprise striving for academic and professional excellence in technical education, research, service to the industry and society, Sanskriti University has been truly working to achieve “excellence in life” in the best manner possible.

We believe our continued “aspiration for excellence” and “create culture for the best” will take a long way to achieve our Mission and Vision.

With placement of students becoming a yardstick to evaluate a university’s status, what has been your achievement level in the context?

The institute recognizes the importance of ‘employability’ (not just placements) and hence curriculum is designed in consultation with corporate leaders to ensure that students get industry-oriented teaching and become job ready as and when they pass out. Campus placement drives are conducted round the year for getting its students placed in reputed organizations with decent packages. In the last year, students have an offer of almost 1.4 jobs on an average with highest package of 11 lakhs and average salary of 3.6 lakhs per annum. It is no wonder that the students of this university are one of the most sought after candidates in job market.

Almost every other university is enjoying the fruits of collaboration, what initiatives have been taken by your university on this front?

In an attempt to establish itself as one of world class educational hub, the University has entered into collaboration and signed MOU with leading global universities like Help University (Malaysia). Cambridge University and University of North America (USA) for curriculum design & development and student & faculty exchange programme. University of Fredericton, Canada, EC Council University, USA, Colegio de Abogados, Argentina, Group-TQS of Chile, Universidad Abierta Interamericana, Argentina,  University of California Riverside, USA, are a few International Universities with which we have entered into MOUs for student exchange, Faculty exchange as well as Research sharing.

Rubicon Skill Development Private Ltd. For skill based education, Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR) for providing quality education to our students studying agriculture, ICAR- NBPGR, Government of India, MSME for setting up Centre of Excellence, MSME to run Center of Excellence (CoE) on Ecological Farming, Santhigiri Ashram for providing practice oriented education to our students studying Ayurveda. In addition , Sanskriti has entered into a collaboration with SAFIC ( a unit of Sri Aurobindo Society, Puducherry) for conducting a course on Indian Culture.

In the national level, Institute has signed MOU with MSME (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise, Government of India) on Entrepreneurship Development, Centre of Excellence and Course curriculum validation, It is also empanelled as Project Institute with NIESBUD (National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development) with EDII (Entrepreneurship Development Institute of India) and NEN (National Entrepreneurship Network) for Entrepreneurship Development Programme and with CSTUP (Council of Science and Technology, Uttar Pradesh) for conducting Intellectual Property Right programme.

What steps have been undertaken for research-based learning by the university?

To cope up with today’s fast changing VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world, the University is committed to creation, assimilation, dissemination of knowledge and practice and is no wonder that it is ranked as second in “Research Capability“by Times of India and regarded as one of the best promising and emerging University in India and preferred destination for budding students.

The faculty members are encouraged to publish papers in high impact factor research journals indexed and listed in SCI/SSCI/SCOPUS. Besides Sanskriti is publishing own research journal to create a culture of knowledge dissemination

Is there any other initiative taken by you in the Education Sector; you would like to share with us?

Sanskriti University prepares the students not as job hunters but as job creators and from the last year it has developed an innovative eco system in education which is built on four pillars of success- conceiving the new idea (Innovation), nurturing the new idea (Incubation), own the idea (apply for Intellectual property Rights) and commercialize the new idea (Entrepreneurship) and has established IIIE (Innovation, Incubation, IPR and Entrepreneurship) cell, which many of other higher educational institutes have started to follow

Within two years, we have been adjudged as the “Best Emerging Private University in India”. In next five years our goal is to establish us as “Best Private University in India’. In the ten years our goal is to establish us as the “Best University in India”.

On the Occasion of Foundation day, would like to know more about, how did the idea of Opening an Education Institute is evolved?

Although there is no dearth of education Institutes in India especially after the year 2008, but there is a real void in imparting “real” education to the aspiring students. Run of the mill education system are producing job seekers and adding plethora of students in job market instead of preparing students who are self confident and self reliant – know what is to be known, learn what is to be learnt and can be the job creators.

Sanskriti Group of Institutions started with an unusual dream of an institution which will bring together the best of both worlds – Indian philosophy and western technology to create “Excellence in Life”. The missionary zeal of the philanthropist young edupreneurs has made the dream come true and offered the aspiring students the ultimate destination for world class education – the Sanskriti University.
