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!

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!

🔬 Concern Growing Over "Pseudoscientific" Courses in Indian Higher Education The All India Peoples' Science Network (AIPSN) has raised alarm about the introduction of potentially unscientific topics in Indian higher education institutions under the banner of "Indian Knowledge Systems" (IKS). Key points : • Courses on reincarnation and out-of-body experiences at IIT Mandi, and astrology at BHU have been cited as examples of "unscientific claims" • Critics worry about a "free-for-all fest" of naïve ideas about Indian science history • AIPSN urges institutions to use only well-researched scientific sources for IKS courses • Concerns also raised about biased introduction of IKS in school textbooks • Call for better teacher training to handle complex IKS topics As India aims to promote its rich knowledge traditions, how can we ensure academic rigor while exploring our heritage ? #IndianEducation #HigherEd #Science #AcademicIntegrity #coherence #pseusoscience What are your thoughts on balancing tradition and scientific scrutiny in education ?

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

Revolutionizing Assessments in Higher Education Institutes: From Marks to Mastery In the dynamic landscape of Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in India, assessment practices play a pivotal role in shaping the learning journey of students. Traditionally, the assessment patterns have been largely dominated by in-semester and end-of-semester exams, with limited emphasis on continuous internal evaluation. However, with the advent of the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020),there's a significant paradigm shift towards a more holistic and outcome-based approach to assessment. Let's delve into how this transformation is reshaping the educational landscape. https://lnkd.in/guRXXAge
