Transforming Education Standards with PARAKH India's education system is evolving, and at the forefront of this change is PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development). This initiative isn't just another policy; it's a game-changer designed to shift the focus from traditional rote learning to competency-based education. What does this mean for examination boards? - Boards will no longer be limited to conducting exams that assess memorization skills. Instead, they'll guide students toward understanding, applying, and mastering skills that prepare them for real-world challenges. - PARAKH aims to ensure assessments that truly reflect a student’s potential, aligning with international standards and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities. The mission is clear:Equip our learners with more than just marks. Give them the tools to thrive in a rapidly changing world where competency is the key differentiator. How do you see the impact of this competency-focused shift in education? Will it prepare students for better career prospects and life challenges? Share your thoughts below!

Indian School Principals are Transforming Education with Innovation Across India, school principals are showing just how innovative and creative they can be. They’re not just leading schools—they’re at the forefront of adopting new technologies and tools, many of which are free and easily accessible. In just a few months, they dive into these technologies, experimenting with new methods and approaches. But then comes the critical realization: Should practice follow principles, or should principles follow practice? It’s a question that shapes the future of education, especially when the line between innovation and policy gets blurry. Here’s what happens: • Principals quickly adopt tools, see the positive impact on teaching and learning. • But with new solutions come new challenges—and suddenly, it’s clear that policy is needed to make this innovation sustainable. That’s why creating responsible frameworks around these tools becomes essential. I came across this fantastic document from the U.S. Department of Education, guiding educators on how to responsibly integrate AI into the learning process. It’s a great resource for anyone looking to ensure that technology enhances education without compromising values or outcomes. If you’re a school leader or educator, this is a must-read! Let’s continue this conversation: How do you think we should balance innovation with policy in education? #InnovationInEducation #Leadership #AIInEducation #PolicyAndPractice

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

The edtech industry is facing a challenging time, marked by waning investor interest and reduced demand for online learning in the aftermath of the pandemic. Amid this, Alakh Pandey-led edtech unicorn PhysicsWallah (PW) has bagged $210 million in a Series B funding round led by investment firm Hornbill Capital, with a sizable participation from venture capital firm Lightspeed Venture Partners.   Scaling operations:  With the latest funding round, PW’s post-money valuation has soared to $2.8 billion, making it the third-most valued edtech firm, trailing only Unacademy ($3.4 billion) and Eruditus ($3.2 billion), based on their last valuations. PW will use the funds for market consolidation, with the potential for “one large deal” in the next 12 months, according to Co-founder Prateek Maheshwari. PW, which initially focused on test-prep, has rapidly diversified its educational offerings to encompass everything, from school education to skills training. It has also acquired firms like PrepOnline and Altis Vortex to enhance its NEET, GATE, and related categories. #edtechcompany #funding #equityfunding
