Progression and change is essential for evolution in all walks of life. We usually connect innovation to industry, medicine and technology; rarely do we associate it with education. Our traditional Education System has seen to change drastically.
In ancient times, India had the Gurukula system of education in which students used to learn everything from Sanskrit to Metaphysics while staying with the guru. The main focus was on learning skills to become a king, a wise administrator, an archer or a leader. We then moved to the factory model of learning and moved away from nature and real life to classrooms that focused on retention and information. But in today’s world, the scenario is quite different. Children are now prepared to become effective contributing members that expects even a newbie to come with some skills. Parents feel a strong desire towards helping their child to be ‘future ready’.
