In order to change the entire parameter of gauging students and to work according to their calibre Evergreen Education Foundation is conducting a one day national level conference in partnership with Newsd with a view to revamp the Indian education system on Sunday 20th November at the Hilton Conrad, in Pune.
The conference has been arranged with a view to prepare a generation of industry ready practical thinkers who have a holistic development right from school.
The conference is targeting educators as its focus audience right from school to university level. The outcome of the conference will be printed in a uniform integrated curriculum handbook that will further be prepared by the educationists attending the sessions.
The current education system has been facing issues that have reduced the Indian education system to a mere test of academics, rote learning and mark based systems. The Indian education system has been constantly falling short in different spheres leaving many students in the lurch.
The agenda of the conference is to create a uniform integrated curriculum on pan India basis with a view to bring children from different age groups on one uniform parameter. The sub agenda of the conference is to induce “experiential learning and creativity” as a part of the core curriculum. The idea behind pushing for a practical methodology is to make students more aware and ready for forthcoming challenges in their career.
The conference will end with a ‘Dear Minister’ session to ensure that the views of these passionate educators are compiled in the integrated curriculum handbook to be forwarded to the HRD Minister. The conference is an exclusive conference with 150 educators from across the country coming to propound their views. Speakers’ age ranges from as young as 10 yrs to 65 yrs. Speakers include Shashi Tharoor, Tushar Gandhi, Juan Elias Chebly, Kirthi Jayakumar and Ishita Katyal apart from a wide range of panellists that include Arnawaz Damania and international photographer Zuber Memon.
The Evergreen Education Foundation is an institution founded in 1997 by P Mohammed Kutty and his sons. The foundation aims at ‘reaching the unreached’. With a view to making this vision a reality the foundation has started off with the idea of having this conference.
