Over the years, technology has been travelling at an enormous speed and the world has witnessed a string of technological innovations in all sectors. So, the industry of learning couldn’t be left out. The industry has changed its face through adoption of technological solutions for streamlining teaching-learning experiences. The sector has also paved way to rapid expansion in the number of education e-solution providers in the country. From campus management solutions, to K12 education technology providers, to cutting edge education products – there seems to be no dearth of solution providers in the market.

Learning with technology has become essential in today’s schools. Worldwide, governments, education systems, researchers, school leaders, teachers and parents consider technology to be a critical part of a child’s education. Developing students’ knowledge and skills related to ICT in the school years provides an important grounding for later in life. It also provides equity of opportunity, regardless of background.

The huge expansion of IT enabled learning in India also necessitates a guide, which can help academicians to be informed and also choose from the various solutions available. The digitalLEARNING Resource Guide, since past years, has been playing an instrumental role in helping academicians and education stakeholders in choosing e- services and infrastructure to suit their requirements. With the influx of new technology and increased connectivity, a focused strategic planning is important to ensure digital learning opportunities for all students and educators. Most school districts have made investments in technology equipment, bandwidth and networking, training teachers and are supporting both the technology and those using it.

The year 2015 brought Elets Technomedia Pvt Ltd and digitalLEARNING, a platform to engage stakeholders and players of the industry under one ambit during the World Education Summit, held in August. The event was a perfect blend of innovators coming and exhibiting their products and showcasing and synergising learning to a new level. It also encouraged a large number of private players to come up with new solutions and to productively utilise their existing technology services for educational concerns.

Taking forward our previous year’s success and tremendous demand in the market, we bring to you a new and improved digitalLEARNING Resource Guide 2015 for better insights and to enable the consumers make an informed decision. Campus and school technologies are becoming more and more viable and consumer friendly and our objective with this Resource Guide is to present consumers a clear understanding on the education technology solutions. The issue not only highlights existing technologies, but also informs them about the latest development and innovations on offer.

Learning is a constant process and since the inception of its being, man has learnt the means to survive through the skills acquired through real life situations. The education we attain in our lives nowadays is twice. First, knowledge imparted in a school environment, and the second through the skills day-to-day bearing throws at us.

In today’s fast paced digital age, it is only imperative that we get attuned to the nuances of digitisation and its benefits. It has been noted that India is poised to become the world’s youngest country by 2020, with an average age of 29 years, and account for around 28 per cent of the world’s workforce. The statistics throw an opportunity to its workforce to fill the expected shortfall and reap the potential demographic dividend. However, the country is currently facing a severe shortage of well-trained and skilled workers. It is this realisation to scale the skill gamut, that suitable initiatives pondered and executed to fill the void of skills being taught in schools and the skills that are required in the job market.

Keeping in view the impending issue of skill development and taking the initiative forward, Elets Technomedia Pvt Ltd had organised the 5th edition of World Education Summit 2015 recently. The two-day expo-cum conference brought the academicians, educational Learning Skills – A Continuous Process experts, policymakers in a single platform to discuss the role of education sector in skill development. The event saw participation of eminent personalities like Manish Sisodia, Deputy Chief MInister, Government of Delhi, Dr Daljit Singh Cheema, Minister, Department of School Education, Government of Punjab, Prof Allan Rock, President, University of Ottawa, Canada, Andrew Taggart, Acting Vice Chancellor, Murdoch University, Australia, Kalthoom Al Balooshi, Executive Director, Education Development, Knowledge and Human Development Authority, Dubai, Dr Abdullah Ali Said Al Shibli, Director General for Colleges of Applied Sciences, Ministry of Higher Education, Sultanate of Oman. The expo brought forth innovative solutions like building robotics, tablet learning, tracking child activities in school through secure devices.

The October edition of digitalLEARNING brings to you the first-hand account of the event with detailed analysis of the discussions on how to build an optimum resource of skill development in the education sector. To give an insight on the issues of skill development and role of education sector, the magazine features interactions with school and higher education principal and experts, who brought to the forum an insight to the real problems a child faces apart from the technical glitches like proper school infrastructure or teacher training. The panel discussions brought forth teachers and principal highlighting the role of parents to help build the social as well as the emotional skills to help the child deliver his innate abilities for future vocations.

The edition also includes the refreshed and updated digitalLearning Resource Guide 2015, which not only highlights relevant solution providers working for the education sector, but will also update the consumers about the latest development and innovations in the sector.

Catholic Church Proposes Inclusiveness And Secularism In NEP

In its proposal on new education policy (NEP) to the Human Resource Development (HRD) ministry, the Catholic Church has asked to form the policy focusing on teaching values and probity in public life, without being religion-specific. The Church, which owns the second highest number of education institutions in India, claimed that the current system was lacking in ethical and moral components.

The Church further said that the NEP, which is expected to be announced in the coming two months, should nurture diversity, inclusiveness and secularism as well as divergent and critical thinking among the students. The suggestions given to the government also included proposals like moderating fee structure, scrapping of all-promotion above Class III, creating corpus scholarship fund for the marginalised, teachers’ evaluation once in three years and creation of a national service for teachers to provide them mobility on the lines of the civil services.

The Education and Cultural section of the Catholic Bishops Conference of India (CBCI) — the apex decision making body of the Catholic Church in India had prepared the proposal. The CBCI team submitted its suggestions to Smriti Irani, Minister of HRD. Urging the government to protect the secular nature and minority status of the educational institutions, the document suggested that minority schools — both aided and unaided — should be exempted from Right to Education. It said that while the curriculum should be able to develop scientific temper, spirit of inquiry, sensibility to safeguard public property and abjure violence, the examinations should be made more flexible and integrated with life situations. The suggestions also stressed on inculcating value education.

The need for skill development in the country touched a new aspect. Now, besides IAS, IPS and other services, aspirants for public services will have one more service to choose from – the Indian Skill Development Service – in the annual examinations conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) from next year onwards.

Union Minister for Skill Development, Rajiv Pratap Rudy said, “We are speeding up on the creation of a dedicated skill development cadre. In fact, the next civil services exam (2016-17) conducted by UPSC will also recruit for this service. We are working on the job requirement as of now. One guiding idea is to make the service aspirational.”

“With so many changes in the skill development scenario – like over 13,000 Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) coming under the skill development ministry, plans to set up skill universities, etc, there will be a need for a dedicated cadre that can handle the challenges ahead and infuse the much-needed professionalism. This service will take care of that,” he added.

The Union cabinet had cleared the formation of a Group ‘A’ service for skill development, on October 7.

Under the Narendra Modi government, skill development has occupied significant focus with the expectation that the Skill India plan would supply human resources for government-declared mega plans like Digital India, Make in India, etc.
