As Indian higher education institutions (HEIs) face increased global competition, evolving leadership models are essential for their success. It emphasizes the need for leaders to balance academic excellence with business acumen, promoting innovation and professional management. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 advocates for leadership succession planning and greater financial autonomy to enhance institutional performance. The piece calls for HEIs to adopt strategic management skills and hybrid funding models to sustain operations amidst declining public financial support. #leadership_model #highereducation https://lnkd.in/ge-4EFFw

The UGC's pursuit of international rankings and research quality has inadvertently stifled the publication landscape in India. Excessive publication fees imposed on researchers and the exclusive recognition of Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals have significantly impacted the Indian publication industry. While researchers bear some responsibility for prioritizing promotions and recognition over genuine academic contributions, the UGC's lack of understanding of the realities faced by educational institutions is a major contributing factor. The UGC's chairman's relentless introduction of new policies without proper evaluation of existing ones further exacerbates the situation. The current state of higher education in India, where researchers are required to pay both to publish and access articles, is unsustainable and detrimental to the advancement of knowledge. This paradoxical system, where researchers essentially pay to share their findings, is a testament to the challenges facing higher education today.

The key to transforming the future of #education lies not in technology or curriculum, but in the hands of empowered, visionary #teachers! At Seth M. R. Jaipuria Schools, we believe that #TeacherDevelopment is the single most important investment in shaping the leaders of tomorrow. By prioritising professional growth of our educators, we ensure they are not only prepared for the challenges ahead but are driving change, fostering critical thinking, & nurturing global citizens. From the moment they join us, our teachers embark on a journey of continuous growth, starting with a comprehensive ‘#Induction Program’. This helps to integrate new teachers into our #ethos, #curriculum, & #assessment methodologies. Through ‘Annual #ThematicTraining’, we explore cutting-edge topics, ensuring our teachers stay ahead of educational trends. Our ‘#Upskill’ program with 2500+ hours of #training, focuses on deepening subject expertise, critical for delivering excellence in the classroom. But we don’t stop there. Our ‘T2T (Teacher-to-Teacher) #Enrichment Trainings’ foster #collaboration among #teachers to share experiences & #BestPractices. Recognising that every teacher's journey is different, our ‘Need-Based Trainings’ target individual areas for growth, while our ‘Subject-Specific Trainings’ ensure mastery of teaching content across different disciplines. This layered approach is further supported by 'Monthly Training Resources' that keep our educators up-to-date with the latest trends, tools, & techniques in education. Our learning management system, #JLearn, offers teachers the autonomy to engage with a wealth of digital resources & courses at their own pace, reinforcing the concept of self-directed learning. Whether it's mastering AI in education, integrating digital tools, or understanding the nuances of global competencies, JLearn provides our teachers with the skills and knowledge required to stay future-ready. At the heart of our professional development approach is the #ReflectionJournal —a personalised tool that allows each teacher to document their growth journey. It encourages introspection & goal-setting on their teaching practice. Aligned with #NEP2020 ’s call for continuous #ProfessionalDevelopment, we are already preparing our teachers to navigate the future. Acknowledging our efforts, vision, & scalability, the India Didac recently awarded us with Excellence in “Faculty and Staff Wellbeing, Safety and Development”. The realisation that the jury comprised 120 distinguished personalities & evaluation was done from more than 3000 nominations received from 1900+ institutions across 24 states, makes it an even more humbling experience for all of us. Want to discuss or collaborate to plan for professional development of your teachers? We are all ears!

Today marks four years since the launch of the National Education Policy (NEP2020), a groundbreaking framework set to revolutionise the Indian education system. NEP 2020 is progressive, visionary, and designed to foster holistic development, critical thinking, and creativity among students. As we commemorate this milestone, it's essential to revisit insightful perspectives that remain highly relevant. Last year, I wrote an article that delved into the transformative potential of NEP2020. Its analysis still holds true and offers valuable insights into how NEP2020 is paving the way for a brighter future in education. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ezF3G6pk Join us in celebrating the strides we've made and the promise of an even more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking education system for our future generations. #NEP2020 #EducationRevolution #4YearsOfNEP #FutureOfEducation #HolisticLearning #EducationForAll

Gone are those days of sitting in class and learning...later spending time of 6 months over training by industry to get the actual connect of learning and its outcome. It's proved that nonformal or informal learning is more impactful. Institutes must think on offering such flexibilities to students while exploring ways of handling such dynamics. #NCrF #informalearning #creditizing #outcomeattainment
