Mind is not a tank which needs filing but needs ignition, this was the essence of an education session held at the Global Partnership Summit.
The session on 'Disrupting Learning: Alternative Education' system brought together experts on education – both online and offline mode on a single platform. They discussed the need for inculcating new skills in a child right at the young age, while some talked about importance of online medium and doing away with physical form of education.
Dr John N Kalaras, CEO, Quality Training Institute Inc, talked about an innovative approach to learning in higher education. The challenge is to make students responsible learners through engagement which leads to active learning. "Responsible learning, engagement, active participation – all three together will create a zeal to learn. The outcome of implementing these three traits will make students responsible learners," he said.
Doga Makiura, a social entrepreuner, said there is no need for teachers, we need to have good content online which will provide each and everything including tutorials, examples of practical implementation of lessons and others which people can access via internet.
Maheswar Peri, Founder, Careers360, said students need to be counselled to pick up right kind of skills. We offer consultancy services which tell students about institutions and its courses in a transparent way so that one makes an informed decision about their careers.
With the advent of new technologies, education can be made available to a wider audience especially where there is no available means of physical access to education. This can be nade available in rural and remote areas.
Engagement with students is the most important part of imparting education, John, based in the US, said ending his speech in Hindi by saying Namaste, bahut shukriya.
