We are looking to setup 100+ schools over the next four years. The target market for a brand like Petals would be a market covering all towns and cities across the country with a basic business mindset. We have already signed one franchise in Ladakh which is going to be launched on coming 15th August.

In this modern era of innovations, where early stage of education is garnering special attention of educators, what special methodologies have you adopted?

Modern teaching style of kids also helps in various ways –cross-curricular connections, inquiry-based learning, emphasis on understanding of concepts, linking curriculum with life, emphasis on skill building, life skills and values, differential learning, and problem-based learning.

The Smart Learning approach provides learners of all ages and walks of life with a framework and a host of Smart Thinking Tools that motivate higher levels of understanding.

How would you narrate the significance of ‘smart’ classrooms and modern teaching style for kids?

Technology benefited us in every aspect of our life right from communication to education. New methods of teaching have been introduced which is known as smart class. It uses instructional material, 3D animated modules and videos, and all the renowned schools are using this concept.

The Smart Learning approach provides learners of all ages and walks of life with a framework and a host of Smart Thinking Tools that motivate higher levels of understanding. Through the process, learners activate and build background knowledge, process information, transform their learning into a product that shows what they know, and reflect on their learning.

How much inclusive role do you see of parents in children’s initial stages of learning?

Although a parent’s role in their children’s learning evolves as kids grow up, one thing remains constant: we are our children’s learning models. Our attitude about education can inspire theirs.

In the early years, parents are their children’s first teachers. The first five years are particularly important for the development of the child’s brain, and the first three years are the most critical in shaping the child’s brain architecture.

Digital Payments – A Boon to Education Sector

Money in the education ecosystem flows in many forms. How the boost in digital payments help the students, their parents and institutes in quick and safe money management, explores Vishal Maru, Head-Merchant Services, Digital Payments and Loyalty, Worldline South Asia and Middle East, for Elets News Network (ENN).

 

Vishal Maru, Head-Merchant Services, Digital Payments and Loyalty, Worldline South Asia and Middle East

Digital payments, going cashless and demonetization have been the talk of the town after the government annulled 86% of the country’s currency in November last year. Ever since then, every industry, company and individual has been trying to understand and adopt different forms of digital payments. Cards have been around for a few decades now, seeing moderate penetration in India. Given the consumer behavior and push from the government, debit cards have had more success than credit cards in the recent past.

Some sectors like transport, retail and entertainment have been proactive, accepting digital payments in other form factors than the traditional credit and debit cards. It is now becoming a habit for consumers to pull out a prepaid card of a particular retail store to make purchases or a prepaid metro card to enable their daily commute. However, a few sectors have only now taken to payments apart from cash, cheques and DD (demand draft). Amongst those new emerging segments, the planned townships and education sectors have witnessed substantial growth in digital payments of late.

Education represents an expansive sector that could contribute significantly to making a less-cash economy. Recently, the government has directed educational institutes to discourage cash payments for fees. CBSE schools have been advised to accept only online and non-cash modes of payment and pay salaries/wages and vendors through digital means. There are various ways that educational institutions can go digital. Colleges and now schools are issuing student identity cards that are combined with access and attendance. Card registration happens through the college administration. Like for any other facility, once the student is enrolled, an ID card is issued with personal details. The card not just identifies the student but automates the attendance process, doing away with copious paperwork. With access control, it marks attendance and records the entry and exit time of each student. Access control allows authorities to grant access to particular areas of the college to authorized students. For example, access to the Chemistry lab can be given only to those students who have chosen the subject and need to enter the lab. This prevents unauthorized access and potential mishaps.

Increasingly, educational institutions are recognizing the advantages of automating processes to reduce manual labor and paperwork, saving the time and effort of the college administration. Institutes are now issuing closed loop prepaid cards that can be used within the college campus and vicinity. This card can be loaded like any other prepaid card and used at multiple acceptance points. Students can pay in the cafeteria for meals as well as use it at stationery and grocery shops within their campus. The same card can also be used to pay a course fee, lab dues, tuition fees, administrative charges and any other expenses that a student may bear within the college. They can load the prepaid cards through debit cards, credit cards and internet banking, similar to loading a mobile wallet.

These cards generally do not require a PIN or password for transactions so it is up to the cardholder to keep it safe. In case of theft, the good part is that the exposure is low as students normally load small amounts into the card. Also, the closed loop card can be only within a specific campus, thus reducing the chances of usage after theft. The school or college authorities are provided with an administration module through which the card, when reported as lost or stolen, can be blocked immediately and a new one issued. Service providers also have their own contact centers where the same can be done.

Digital payment in education is in the sunrise stage and has a lot of potential. Service providers must have a compelling proposition and robust use cases to drive adoption of digital payments and automation in the education fraternity. While there are challenges in driving large scale adoption, sensitizing parents and students to digital payments is necessary and the first step in making education a digital-first sector.

S K Rathor, Founder and Managing Director of Sanfort group

Sanfort Preschool is all about bridging the learning gap that seems to be ever-widening in the early learning space. How the brand reached to 21 States and to two international locations and has a good alumni base in less than eight years, S K Rathor, Founder and Managing Director of Sanfort group, one of the most successful preschool brands, reveals the success story in conversation with Elets News Network (ENN).

Describe the need that Sanfort fills in communities.
 Today’s parents are more concerned than ever about their child’s education. In an increasingly competitive landscape, children need to acquire a multitude of skills to become successful adults; from communication, to coping with stress, to innovation and many others. It is a known fact that the majority of children in India are not ready for school. SANFORT curriculum is designed to bridge the learning gap and prepare children for the life.

What is Sanfort doing to set itself apart from the competition?

Our learning environment takes a 21st century approach and a process-oriented model. No other school has innovative curriculum like we have. We take effective, time-tested elements of traditional learning, and infuse them with cutting-edge technology and resources. We have a unique Smart Learning System with Touch ‘N’ Learn technology. Though our curriculum is based on the UK Concept of preschool education but we have never left our Indian values behind. Everything is designed to be at the teacher’s fingertips; the learning content, student progress, and parent communication are all managed within a mobile application. We are pioneer partner of Trinity College, London for English language development at preschool level.

What is the reason behind tapping the franchise model for expansion and how has franchising helped you to grow your business?

I strongly believe that Franchising is the most powerful recipe for scalability in the entire business world and it is a winning formula for franchisors and the franchisees both. It is a great way to expand our network as we have people to manage our locations, without paying salaries who will work much harder than employees and we can grow the number of locations without tapping much of our own capital because franchisee owns the cost to open and operate the branch.

We have a unique Smart Learning System with Touch ‘N’ Learn technology. Though our curriculum is based on the UK Concept of preschool education but we have never left our Indian values behind.

In a franchise model, a lot depends upon your franchise partner what is your criteria to choose the right franchise partner and how well you bond with them?

In a franchise model success or failure of a brand depends on the success or failure of the franchisees. So, it is very important to choose right partner, we look into their financial status and social reputation. Their educational background and passion towards the education profession is also very important. Once we choose a partner we give them proper training and inputs to run the business and complete hand-holding to make the venture successful.

What message do you want give to a potential franchisee?

We have a brand and strategy that has been proven successful to attract and retain students, as well as excite and engage parents. We have strong branding, strong demographics research, and child-centric curriculum that parents love, which are the key factors, required to establish a successful preschool.

Indian Schools are witnessing a dramatic change at a large scale, as traditional approach to teach and learn is fast turning obsolete. As a rising number of schools are embracing ICT, students are being driven to exponentially adapt modern learning methodologies, writes Rashi Aditi Ghosh of Elets News Network (ENN).

Indian Education System at a glance
The country’s formal education system is multilayered. A whooping number of 260 million students, larger than many countries’ total population, is enrolled in this system, with over 1.5 million primary and secondary schools being governed by either the State or Central education bodies. Widening the reach of education and opening new vistas for students, the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is growning rapidly in India. On one hand, the Central Government is promoting ICT through its various initiatives, on the other hand schools are also introducing several innovative ideas for making optimum usage of technology in preparing the students for a better future.

Education Going the e-Way
The market of online education is aquring a lot of popularity and according to various reports it is here to stay. According to a report published by professional service company and leading audit firm KPMG (May 2017), Indian online education sector is currently worth $247 million and it is anticipated to grow to 1.96 billion in 2021.

Factors responsible for growth of online education
Online education in India is expected to grow but there are several factors responsible for its development in the country. Growth of e-learning depends upon various factors like availability of quality education, employment for students, digital initiatives by Government, Smartphone users, Internet availability, disposable income and Young Population.

These factor often emerge as challenges for online education.

Significance of online education in India
 Skill training and online certification currently play a significant role in the Indian online education market with a share of 38 per cent.

According to the projections of a KPMG report, nearly 280 million students are expected to be enrolled in schools by 2021. A larger share (39 per cent) of this enrollment is projected to be inclined towards online primary and secondary supplemental education. Similarly, the popularity of online test preparation is expected to be the fastest rising category of online education, estimated to grow at an impressive CAGR of 64 per cent in the next five years.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT)- An Overview of Government Initiatives

The Central Government has subsumed ICT in schools under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) (a national drive for secondary education). ICT is essentially now a component of RMSA.

This scheme has been designed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) to omit the digital gap amongst the students from various socio-economic and other geographical backgrounds. It ensures aid to States/UTs to establish computer labs on a sustainable basis.

Meanwhile, the concept of ICT in schools was launched in December 2004, it was later revised in 2010 to ensure opportunities for students enrolled at the secondary level of education. This was mainly initiated by capacity building of students in terms of ICT skills and to make them learn through relevant computeraided training process.

Essence of RMSA

The scheme presently handles both the Government and the Governmentaided Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools. Financial assistance under the scheme is ensured to the States, Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET) and State Institutes of Education Technologies (SIETs) based on the approvals accorded by Project Approval Board (PAB) chaired by the Secretary (School Education and Literacy).

The project cost is shared between the Centre and States in ratio of 75:25 except for the North East Region (NER) states including Sikkim where it is 90:10.

Financial assistance is given to the scheme for procurement of computers and peripherals, educational software, training of teachers, development of e-contents, Internet connectivity and set up of smart schools. So far, 87,033 government and government aided secondary and higher secondary schools have received approval for coverage under ICT in Schools Scheme.

In sync with the Central Government’s Digital India initiative, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology has created a portal to ensure accessibility of e-books.

Smart School under Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)

MHRD has approved 63 out of 150 Smart Schools under the existing ICT in School Scheme so far. The Smart Schools are getting ready in the districts in sync with one of the existing State Government Schools, to serve as a role model and technology demonstrator among the neighbourhood schools.

Initiatives to Promote ICT in Schools

National Award For Teachers Using ICT For Innovation In Education

For promoting computer enabled learning and usage of ICT in teaching in Government and Government-aided Secondary and Higher Secondary Schools, the MHRD has a provision of National Award for innovative use of ICT to motivate the teachers and teacher educators initiating proper usage of ICT in teachinglearning.

eBasta

In sync with the Central Government’s Digital India initiative, the Department of Electronics and Information Technology has created a portal to ensure accessibility of e-books. The main motive of the initiative is to bring various publishers (free and commercial) and schools on common platform.

ICT-based curriculum

The Tamil Nadu government has recently announced engaging of around 800 State Government teachers in developing a new curriculum enriched with the knowledge of ICT.

It seems with the rising interface of technology in each and every domain, the need to get the students ready for ICT usage is the need of the hour. Supporting the demand with its relevant initiatives, the government is also equally ensuring this requirement. With proper exposure and relevant industry-based training in sync with the ICT, the education sector in India finally appears optimistic in overcoming the ageold challenges posed due to either absence of or minimal usage of technology.
