On the occasion of Teacher’s Day, teacher community has collectively voiced their opinion on the employability quotient of the students and The survey carries significant insights and possible solutions from teachers that can aid the government’s deliberations on themes such as employability, industry collaborations and integration of ICT in the framework of New Education Policy. With teachers considering 57 per cent of the students to be educated but not adequately prepared for employment, the survey respondents strongly called for increased industry academia collaboration, particularly for course restructuring (75 per cent), to help boost employability. Interestingly, the teaching community (44 per cent) expressed the need for industry training of teachers in addition to merit-based industry internships (48 per cent) for students. Deepak Mehrotra, Managing Director, Pearson India, said, “Being the world’s largest learning organisation, Pearson has taken an initiative to engage with the teachers to bring-out the topical issues facing Indian education sector and suggest measures to transform the learning landscape in the country. We are glad that the platform is gaining relevance among the teaching community and this is evident from the growing participation of teachers every year. Government has shown intent to build greater industry-academia partnership by proposing a consultative theme in the National Education Policy framework. We are glad that the teachers have not only collectively validated this idea of industry-academia collaboration but offered a specific solution of curriculum restructuring.” For integration of ICT in the education system, teachers across India recommend provision of computer and internet connectivity across institutions (66 per cent) and installation of smart boards (62 per cent) as key requirements. However, teachers consider high cost of technology installation (38 per cent) and lack of infrastructure & maintenance (23 per cent) as the biggest challenges for technology adoption at educational institutions. The findings showed in teachers’ belief (60 per cent) that India’s education system is providing comprehensive and holistic education (subject knowledge along with social, creative, physical and ethical) to learners. However, teachers at higher-education level are less convinced with the existing system’s ability to provide holistic education (51 per cent) vis-à-vis counterparts at school level (72 per cent). To facilitate transition from ‘subject-based learning’ to ‘holistic learning’, teachers across India ranked appropriate continuous assessments of students’ performance (47 per cent), better integration of technology & digital content into teaching methodology (44 per cent) and linkage between concepts across subjects/discipline (43 per cent) as the most effective ways. |

Changing paradigms of education
“A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others.”
Teachers act as the guide for life, show the path towards success and enrich the personality of their disciples by imparting ethical and academic knowledge. They are our founding stone as they help us grow into a better citizen. From chalk and board method to projectors and tablets, our teachers are the guiding light in shaping our careers. The changing paradigm in learning has broken the barriers of conventional learning. Today, teachers are reinventing themselves to facilitate students.
Expressing the gratitude and appreciating the hard work of our teacher, digitalLearning salutes all teachers who have helped their students in achieving the goals of their lives. Below are few quotes from the intelligentsia who have created a niche for themselves.
Pranab Mukherjee, President of India
Addressing the students in Delhi to mark the occasion of Teacher’s Day, he said, “I am not a great scholar, never was a very bright student, became an average leader. A teacher gives himself to the students and the job of a student is to draw from him as much as possible.”
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India
On the occasion of Teachers Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a video conferencing session with 800 students and 60 teachers from various schools in Delhi. Ahead of Teacher’s Day, he said, “Students are an image of teachers. Mother gives birth to a child, the guru gives life. What teacher taught us we will remember for the rest of our lives. I bow to all the teachers. It is the teacher who makes the generation.”
Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief Minister, Delhi
“Delhi Government has increased the education budget and it is an indicator for our intentions of improving the education in Delhi. We want to streamline the education system first. We should bring innovation in education. We will make skill education as part of the main curriculum in schools. Delhi Government is planning to launch a skill university. We are starting a programme ‘Be a Teacher’, where we will bring the successful people to schools and ask them to be a teacher for one day. I had requested Pranab Mukerjee, President of India to be a teacher for the day. He taught about the freedom movement and constitution of India to students.”
Dr. Sridhar G – Founder Deeksha Network
“The Indian education system for sure is at par with the global trends, especially with our Math and Science fundamentals being strong. But there is a need to excel in the area of application based learning, which is critical for skill enhancement and employability. The key to ensuring this excellence is by making quality content, teaching/learning platforms and assessment process etc. accessible to students, irrespective of their demography or geography. This is possible only through technology. Hence technology based teaching and learning systems are important to achieve excellence.”
Subramanya Bhat- Principal, Deeksha Centre for Learning
“With successful implementation of RTE, mid-day meal scheme, etc. and sustained effort towards bringing students to schools, I feel, we are on the right path. We are witnessing a consistent improvement in enrollment of students to schools. Bringing them to school is the first step. But to sustain this practice until they pass out from higher education is the larger goal. We need to focus our effort towards curbing the dropout rates at schools.
An ideal education set-up should enable equal access to education for all at all levels. I dream of a system that enables aspiring student to take up any course or join any institute of their choice without a second thought, or affordability being a constraint. We need to improve funding and monitor the education system real time to match up to international standards.”
Vinesh Menon, COO, Global Discovery Schools
“The Teachers at the school invest all their time and energy in painstakingly teaching the children and preparing them for the world ahead. Every year, these teachers see their children blossom from preschool days to Grade XII to College to Higher Studies and then finally disappear into the world. This cycle calls for a lot of resilience & patience apart from managing the emotions of letting go of a ward who has been taught with so much of care and love and hence I have no qualms in calling every such Teacher the epitome of selflessness and sacrifice. To all My Teachers in school, college and other institutions I have studied & to all Teachers across the country – Thank You for your dedication, time and patience in making me who I am today.”
Manjula Pooja Shroff, Chairperson, Calorx Education and Research Foundation
“Teachers are the backbone of the education ecosystem. A good teacher is like a painter who paints the canvas of a student’s life. My compliments to all those you have chosen to be teachers and towards making positive contribution to students who are the future citizens of the county. Happy Teacher’s Day.”

Heralding SKILLS
In an attempt to make students equipped with skill knowledge, CBSE has introduced a number of skill courses that will help them become a competent learner. Elets News Network (ENN) finds out the vocational courses that the Board is currently focusing
In the light of National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF), CBSE has initiated a process of reframing its existing vocational courses to ensure across mobility of students and their absorption in the industry. The Board has introduced new vocational courses in Financial Market Management, Hospitality and Tourism, Mass Media Studies, Medical Diagnostics and Geospatial Technology in collaboration with National Stock Exchange, Mumbai, National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT), Noida, Whistling Wood International Ltd., Mumbai, Apollo Medvarsity, Hyderabad & Rolta India Ltd. Mumbai, respectively.
Further, the Board has signed an MoU with Central Institute of Technology, Perth, Australia to introduce skill based courses on Music Production, Business Administration, Beauty Therapy and Design.
Currently, CBSE is offering 40 courses in seven sectors, and most of the courses are formulated based on the industry requirements. Some of the courses are offered in collaboration with the professional organisations and joint certificates are issued, which enhance the job prospects of the students.

With inputs from PSSCIVE, SSC, NSDC and School teachers, CBSE has formulated the curriculum and study material for level I to IV (Class IX-XII) of IT, Automobile and Retail sector under National Vocational Education Qualification Framework (now NSQF). In addition, Board also framed the qualification required for the teachers/instructors for said courses.
To cope with growing needs of manpower in Retail, IT, Travel & Tourism and Security Industry, the CBSE has introduced vocational courses in these areas from the session 2012-13 at secondary and senior secondary level under NSQF. A difficult task has been carried out by the cell to rationalise the existing secondary level curriculum for introducing new vocational subjects without hampering elementary knowledge requirement at this level. Further, the Board in association with the National Stock Exchange, has introduced a course on Financial Market Management at secondary level in class IX from the current academic session to equip the students with knowledge in financial literacy.
The Board is also working for the industry linkages, specially meant for the schools, and would prepare student database for appropriate internship training and employment. The Board has also successfully conducted a number of sensitisation and awareness programmes for the principals and teachers of affiliated schools, along with the Teacher Training Programmes (TTP) for concerned vocational subjects and also planned to organise many more similar training programmes or workshops at regular intervals to ensure quality of delivery and consistency.

The Board has further proposed a workable scheme of studies for vocational subjects by way of integrating academic course with vocational course, this will allow free movement between vocational to conventional and vice-versa.
For effective delivery, the following materials are being prepared for each of the vocational courses:
? Teacher’s Manual
? Student material
? Assignment
? Internship Project
To tune the vocational courses meeting the present needs of the society, multiple subject committees have been constituted to prepare the materials for students and teachers. Further, the Digital and Multimedia content were also developed for some of the focused courses (Retail, IT, Automobile).
The Board has also identified some skill knowledge providers for effectively offering the skill-based courses in the schools. It is primarily focusing to increase the stake in post secondary as well as secondary level vocational courses in the areas of Agriculture, Commerce, Engineering & Technology, Medicine, Hospitality & Tourism and other service sectors in collaboration with professional organisations. In addition, the cell is also planning to introduce various skill based modular courses for short duration to cover the large workforce in informal sector.
Having committed to provide quality education to promote intellectual, social and cultural vivacity among its learners, the Board envisions a robust, vibrant and holistic school education that will engender excellence in every sphere of human endeavour. The Board advocates Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation with an emphasis on holistic development of learners.
Positive Leap
In a bid to provide positivity in the education system, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) believes that positivity have the power to transform lives and education in Dubai.
Established in 2007, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is responsible for the growth and quality of private education in Dubai. KHDA support schools, universities, parents, students, educators, investors and government partners to create a high quality education sector focused on happiness and wellbeing. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is responsible for the growth and quality of private education in Dubai. We support schools, universities, parents, students, educators, investors and government partners to create a high quality education sector focused on happiness and wellbeing.The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is responsible for the growth and quality of private education in Dubai. We support schools, universities, parents, students, educators, investors and government partners to create a high quality education sector focused on happiness and wellbeing.
KHDA co-ordinates with many different partners- students, parents, teachers, the private sector and other Government bodies who all play a role in Dubai’s education community. KHDA’s work is guided by the Government’s strategy and carried out in a transparent manner to make sure everything they do benefits their highest priority – their students.
KHDA’s research ranges from early childhood to adult learning and their findings drive initiatives to ensure that Dubai has an educated and flexible workforce to meet the needs of their fast-changing and globalised world. KHDA’s publications, along with their detailed school inspection reports, provide evidence-based information for everyone involved in education.
In November 2014, the World Bank launched a report that investigates the approaches taken by the Government of Dubai to foster improvements in the quality of education at private schools. The report identified that KHDA’s unique approach focuses on regulatory oversight of the sector with an emphasis on the enhancement of student outcomes and making information available to the public. By promoting a culture of open evaluation, where the data on the quality of education systems, schools and student learning outcomes is made publicly available to all interested stakeholders, KHDA has effectively ‘turned the lights on.’
The report notes that steady improvement in education has occurred overall and that part of the reason for this improvement has to do with incentive arrangements. While competition between schools does exist in some segments of the market, increased collaboration within and between schools through peer reviews and the ‘What Works series’ of events was observed – a positive trend that deserves further encouragement.
The report provides some options for moving forward particularly in relation to improving weaker schools through more post-inspection follow up or through expanded collaborations between schools. We live in a country and community which places innovation at the heart of its long-term strategy, and we know that happiness and positivity are central to true innovative practice. And we are fortunate that happiness already forms a strong part of the shared culture of Dubai – our role is simply to concentrate on that positivity, spread its messages, and make more of it.
We know that happiness, well-being and positivity have the power to transform our lives, and transform education in Dubai. The 2015 World Happiness Report, published in April this year, cites a study of 200 school-based programmes that promoted the social and emotional skills of children. This study found that children taking these programmes gained about 10 percentile points in emotional well-being and behaviour as well as in academic achievement.
Unsurprisingly, it also found that low well-being was linked with worse academic performance. We are ultimately attracted to positive education, though, because of its simplicity, and because it just makes sense.
We engage in conversation about happiness and positivity whenever we can, in the hope that this approach will spread to all schools, universities, parents, teachers and students in Dubai.
